Registration for examinations and re- examinations

Preregistration is mandatory and required when taking an exam/re-examination. If you do not register in advance you cannot participate. You must register in Ladok no later than the deadline set for the exam by your institution (link to login page: euu.edu.eu). Register well in advance and make sure that you are officially registered. If there are any problems with the registration, you must contact your department before the registration deadline has passed. To take at the exam, you must be able to present a valid form of identification at the time of the exam. 

Valid national identity card issued to citizens of EU/EEA countries:

• Valid passport; temporary passports are not accepted
• Valid Swedish national identity card
• Valid Swedish driving licence
• Valid Swedish sis-marked identity card or identity card issued by a Swedish governmental agency, for example the Swedish Tax Agency
• Valid national identity card issued by an EU country

Foreign driving licences, residence permit cards, post, bank or tax cards are not accepted as proof of identity.

Information about the assigned room will be visible on either your own schedule or the course’s schedule no later than 2 days before the exam date. For further instructions, please read the section “Your place for the exam”.

Deregistration

If you are no longer taking an exam you have signed up for, it is important to deregister by withdrawing the signup. A deregistration no later than 10 days before the exam is preferable but you can also deregister even after the deadline. You will contribute to avoiding the costs that arise out of booking examination halls and invigilators as well as printing of text materials.  Link to deregistration page: euu.edu.eu

Exams are written anonymously

When you register for an exam written on paper, you will be assigned an anonymization code. You must enter this code, the date and page numbers on all the written papers you submit after completing the exam. DO NOT write your name or social security number.

Procedure for targeted support – examination adjustments

If you have a long-term disability, you can apply for targeted study support and adjustments for your study situation.

To complete the application, you must enclose documentation proving a long-term disability. Once you have submitted your application, you will be contacted by a coordinator. After a meeting with the coordinator, you will receive a certificate in NAIS detailing the recommended adjustments. You need to then show it to the contact person at your department, usually the study counsellor. Please find out the departmental procedure to register your adjustment needs for each exam. Before the exam, Examination Services receives information from the department about what support and adjustments you have been granted and assigns an appropriate seat to you.  You will find the room you have been assigned to take your exam by reading and following the instructions the section “Your place for the exam” below. 

Please note: On the page you find your assigned seat, only ordinary exam time and the most common forms of aid granted, i.e., extended writing time (förlängd tid), separate room (enskilt rum) or smaller group (mindre grupp) will be mentioned in Swedish as indicated within round brackets here. A list of other possible aids that have been granted will be made available to the invigilator on the day of the exam.

Submit your application for support as soon as you are admitted to the university. It is recommended that you inform your department at the beginning of the term.
