Examination
Exam registration
You must always register to an exam to be able to take it. You register yourself to your exams in Ladok latest 12 days before the exam date. If you have not registered for the exam on time you will not be allowed to take it and it is not possible to register for the exam in the examination hall.
In order to take an exam in an examination hall you must also have a valid photo-ID. The ID must be an original document and can be a passport, driving license (regardless of which country) and an ID card issued by a national authority etc. A residence permit, campus card or ID issued by banks or companies are not accepted IDs. Neither is any form of e-identification accepted.
Unregister
If you have registered for an exam but are no longer able to carry it out, it is important that you unregister from it no later than 12 days before the exam date. You unregister yourself in Ladok and this is important so the university can ensure the right number of examination invigilators, chairs, tables and other materials are available.

Reconsideration of exam
Grades can not be appealed. However, the examiner can reassess the grade. Reassessment takes place due to new circumstances, or if the grade is clearly incorrect, and if the change can be made quickly and easily. It is thus not a question of "correcting" or "reconsidering" of already assessed answers, but of obvious errors being corrected. A typical example is that the result has been added together incorrectly or a question has been forgotten.
To have your grade reconsidered, fill in the form for reconsideration (pdf) Pdf, 26 kB. and send by e-mail to the course administration. You also need to attach your graded exam as a pdf. Make sure you send the form to the right course responsible department.
