Important to consider when ordering an exam place
The order states the desired date for the exam, exam format, desired number of writing hours and expected number of students. When ordering, all exam opportunities are assigned a prefix and this must be used when the institute creates the activity opportunity in Ladok. NOTE: this also applies to the home exam.
The institution must attach the mandatory information form to each examination. This also applies to exams at the special exam centre. You can find the current version of the form in the link list above. ATTENTION! Do not use previous versions.
In the case of ordered exam transport - No later than 12:00 the day before the exam, the exam, including the mandatory exam information sheet, needs to be packaged/addressed to the correct exam location and left at the selected exam depot (Service Center).
Students who are to take part in an exam but are not in Ladok must be re-registered in Ladok by the department!

Adapted exam
For those students who have adapted the exam (e.g. extended writing time, sitting alone or typing on a computer), we have the Exam Centre on Klostergatan 3. The centre has two smaller halls and separate rooms with different furniture to be able to take care of the adaptations that the students are entitled to. On a few occasions, it happens that the exam room on Klostergatan is fully booked. Råbyvägen 95 floor 1 is then used as an alternative to Klostergatan.
Information about which rules apply to getting an adapted exam
It is the department's responsibility to inform that the student is writing in a different room than other students for the exam.
We have understood that some students would like to familiarize themselves with the new environment in the exam centre well in advance of their exam. Of course, we are happy to help organize this. Contact tentamenssamordningen.
