Electronic exams: facilities and practices

Access to exam room

You can go to the exam room on weekdays during the opening hours of the buildings without an access badge and without visiting Oppari’s sevice desk. NOTE! In the evenings, on weekends and public holidays, you will need either a personal access badge or one time access badge from Oppari to enter the exam room. You can find the opening hours of the buildings and more detailed info lower on this page.

Safety in the electronic exam facilities 

Computers have been reduced to implement safety clearances. When taking the exam, follow the safety instructions found in the room.

The use of face masks in electronic exam 

The University of Eastern Finland recommends the use of face masks in all facilities with several people present (see the recommendation).  UEF provides face masks for its staff and students working and studying on campus free of charge. Face masks are available in the main lobbies of all campus buildings. When you come to the exam, put a mask on your face in the lobby of the building and bring another clean mask. Once you have settled in place in the exam room, remove the mask so that your face is recorded in the camera surveillance. This is because electronic exams are supervised by camera surveillance and the examiner must be identifiable visiting the exam room. Clean your hands with hand sanitizer and then dress the clean face mask you brought from the lobby.

General info

Electronic exam systems can be used to implement exams, book exams and maturity tests in facilities equipped with automated video surveillance. However, this is not the same as a Moodle online exam.

Electronic exam systems are suitable for implementing exams in which, instead of having the same questions for all students, the exam system allots an individual set of questions to each student from a group of questions prepared by the teacher. In other words, electronic exam systems are not suitable for implementing exams in which the same questions are simultaneously presented to all the participants, cf. general examinations.

The exam is available for a specific time period, or until further notice, allowing students to take the exam according to their own schedule. Exams implemented with exam systems can be taken at Joensuu and Kuopio campuses.

You can also take your exam in another university’s Exam room as an Exam Visit. See where you can take your exams (opens in a new tab). Read the instruction for EXAM visit in English (opens in a new tab) carefully before enrolling for an EXAM.

exam rooms

Exam rooms have video surveillance. Spot checks in which all the exam participants’ identities are checked are also conducted in the exam rooms. Always have your personal ID or student ID card with you at the exam!

If you leave the exam room before you have completed the exam, you are not allowed to return and continue with the same exam.

If you are unsure about any technical aspects of the exam, you should take the exam when Oppari is open.

There is absolute silence in the exams and you will not be able to discuss there.

Take with you to the exam room

  • your student ID card or personal ID

You are allowed to bring to the exam room

  • a bottle of water that has no label

You are not allowed to bring to the exam room

  • a backpack/bag
  • outdoor clothes
  • a phone
  • a wrist watch or other wearable smart devices
  • tools for making notes

You can leave your extra items in a lockable cabinet outside the exam room (you need 50 cent coin).

Violation/negligence of just one of these rules may lead to failing the exam.

Joensuu campus:

  • Natura building, N112, 1st floor. Open 23/7 (from 6 am to 5am).

Kuopio campus:

  • Mediteknia building, 1029, 1st floor. Open 23/7 (from 6 am to 5am).
  • Canthia building, CA205, 2nd floor. Open during the opening hours of Oppari.

Doors to the exam rooms are open during the opening hours of the buildings. You don’t have to go to Oppari’s  help desk before taking the exam. The opening hours:

NOTICE! Passage for evening, weekend and public holiday exams:

  1. Use your personal access badge, which you can collect from key services. See Personal access badge to electronic exam facilities. Access to electronic exam rooms is easier with an access badge, and the badge also gives you the opportunity to exploit the extended opening hours. You will not need to go to the exam through Oppari’s service desk.
  2. Collect the one-time access ID before your exam starts from Oppari’s service desk (NOTE! To do this, check Oppari’s service times for picking up access ID).

Installed software in exam computers

The following software is available to students on exam computers: MS Word (without the spell check function), MS Exel, MS PowerPoint, MS Paint and a PDF reader and a calculator.

Exam visitor’s guide

After you have registered to take an exam by your home university in the exam facilities of the University of Eastern Finland, you can pick up a day ID for a computer from Oppari during its opening hours. You can log in to a computer using the day ID you have been given.
