Instructions for electronic exams
Instructions for students participating in exams
- Students must always check the registration practices and instructions for exams and act in accordance with the instructions given.
- Exams usually begin on the hour.
- Participants will be admitted for thirty (30) minutes from the start of the exam.
- Students may leave the exam no earlier than thirty (30) minutes after it began.
- The exam room will be filled starting at the front and the middle of the rows.
- The students may take pens, a rubber and an unlabeled drinking bottle to their seat for the duration of the exam, as well as their student card or other official ID. No pencil case, bag, telephone, watch or other smart devices may be taken to the seat.
- The phone must be turned off for the duration of the exam. It should be noted that calculators, dictionaries, etc. may not be taken to the exam unless they are specifically allowed in the exam (i.e. marked on the list of participants).
- It should be noted that the use of a smart device in an exam automatically results in the rejection of the exam, except for digital exams that are completed on one’s own device in a secure server environment.
- Students may leave the examination room to use the bathroom when accompanied by the supervisor. If there is only one supervisor in the exam, bathroom visits will be carried out when the supervision shift changes; the students will be informed of this when the exam begins.
- When students return their examination papers, their identity will be verified (student card with a photo, identity card, driver’s license or passport). An electronic student card is not accepted for identification purposes in exams as the use of a phone is prohibited during the exam. The student will confirm their participation in the exam by signing the list of participants.
- If the student does not wish their exam answers to be graded, they must specify this in writing when they return the examination papers (not to be graded).
- All examination papers must be returned to the supervisor (including blank sheets and sketching sheets).
- If you have been granted individual study arrangements in examinations (e.g., extra time to complete the exam), you must inform the study secretary/official responsible for the examination in question of this no later than 10 days before the examination.
