Examination services

You must register in Ladok to be permitted to sit an examination. This applies to both examinations and re-examinations. If you're not registered, you cannot participate.

Register for the exam

The final registration date can be found in Ladok, on the learning platform (Lärplattformen), or by contacting your department.

1. Log into Ladok.
2. Register for the correct examination session for your course.
3. Check that your registration has been recorded.
4. Contact your department if you encounter technical problems.

Deregistration

If you cannot sit the exam, you should deregister in Ladok at least 10 days before the examination. If you've missed the deadline, you should still deregister – it helps with planning.

Writing two exams simultaneously

If you wish to sit two examinations simultaneously, you must contact both Examination Services and your department before the final registration date to receive confirmation that you can sit both examinations.

Taking an exam for a course no longer offered

If you wish to sit an examination for a course that is no longer offered, or if you're no longer registered as a student, you should contact your department. They can advise whether it's possible and how to proceed.

Support during examinations

If you have a permanent disability, you can apply for support during examinations.
A few days before the exam (2–5 days), you'll see in TimeEdit which hall you're to sit in and what support you've been granted for example extended writing time, individual room or a seat in a smaller group.

Information about the other aids granted will be provided by the invigilator on the day of the exam. Only the standard duration of the exam is shown in Time Edit.
