Examination

Here you will find information about examination registration, placement in examination halls, examination rules, and other issues related to examination management at the Department of Romance Studies and Classics. 

On-campus examination

For all on-campus exams and for some take-home exams, anonymous correction is applied. This means the teacher sets grades without knowing who the student is. For these examination sessions, registration via Ladok student.ladok.se is compulsory. When you register, you will receive a personal code as a receipt of your registration.

Examination registration and placement

You register for examination via Ladok. Use your university account to log in to student.ladok.se and select “Current education”, where you can see which examinations are open for registration. You are not allowed to undergo the examination if you did not sign up in advance. However, for some take-home exams, no registration is required.

To access your placement at an on-campus examination, please visit:

Central Examination Services

Results and retrieval of the examination

Three weeks (15 working days) after the examination date, you will see your grade in Ladok student.ladok.se. Corrected on-campus examinations can be ordered from the Student Office
Opening hours and contact information for the Student Office

Take-home exams are not available at the Student Office; these can only be retrieved from the responsible teacher. 

Take-home exams

The procedures for take-home exams are a little different, and it is therefore important that you check with your course coordinator about what instructions apply to your particular course. 

Resits and supplementation

If you have received a failing grade, you must either resit the examination or supplement it in order to be able to get a passing grade. Please note that supplementation applies only in the case of take-home exams, not on-campus exams. The possibility of supplementation is stated in the course syllabus. If supplementation is possible, you must follow the instructions provided by the teacher on the corrected exam. To resit an examination, you must re-register for the relevant resit session.
If you have received a passing grade on your examination but missed something or were absent for certain compulsory modules of a class, you should contact the responsible teacher as soon as possible to get instructions on what you need to do to compensate for your absence. Your grade will not be reported in Ladok until you have submitted compensatory assignments or otherwise compensated for the obligations you failed to fulfil.
If you must to resit a take-home exam, you must contact the course coordinator for information about the next resit session.

 

You can apply to transfer credits you have already earned in a similar education programme. You must be a student at Stockholm University, and thus admitted to a course, in order to apply. The fact that you apply does not automatically mean that your credit transfer request will be approved. Contact your study counsellor for further information about how to apply.

The processing time for credit transfers is about 1-2 months. At the start and end of the semester, we have an especially high workload. You will be notified of the decision in writing. Credit transfer decisions can be appealed.

Do you have questions about transferring credits?

If you have any questions about transferring credits, please contact our study counsellors in each subject.
