EXAM Guidelines

1. Degree students at the University of Eastern Finland must first register for the exam in the Peppi (link opens in a new tab). The exam will not appear in EXAM, if Peppi registration has not been done.

2. Book an exam time and room through EXAM (link opens in a new tab). If you cannot attend the exam, remember to cancel the reservation.

• Instructions for booking an exam room (link opens in a new tab).

3. Go to the exam room at your reserved time. Pay attention to the room-specific instructions, which you will see in EXAM when making the reservation. Also, review the instructions on this page.

4. Answer the exam questions (opens in a new tab) and submit all attachments. Attachments cannot be added to the exam submission afterwards. Once you have submitted the exam, the system will notify the teacher.

5. Once the teacher has evaluated your exam, you may receive feedback on your performance and a preliminary grade via email. The official grade will be recorded in the study system used by the university.

• Exam rooms have video surveillance. Always have your student ID card, personal ID or driver’s license with you at the Exam, as we might check your identity during the exam. If you don’t have any of the mentioned cards, the supervisor will instruct you. You may also take a water bottle with you, but make sure it has no labels.
• If you leave the Exam room before you have completed the examination, you are not allowed to return and continue the examination. If the exam is interrupted for any compelling reason (technical issue, fire...), fill out the electronic exam interruption notification (opens in a new tab) as this will release the exam performance and you can book a new exam time.
• You may not take anything extra to the exam rooms (watch, phone, coat, notes).
• There is absolute silence in the Exam rooms and you will not be able to discuss there.

Negliance of the rules may lead to a failed grade.

Other notions:

• Login to the computer with your UEF username and password (visitors with a visitor ID).
• You can leave your belongings to the lockers outside the exam room.
• If you are unsure about any technical aspects of the examination, you should take the examination when Oppari is open.
• Please come to the Exam without perfumes and fragrances.
• You can retake the exam once the examiner has graded your exam.
