Exams for students from other Swedish universities
As a student at another Swedish university, you have the opportunity to take exams at Umeå University, free of charge.
Conditions
You may take an exam in our premises under these conditions:
- during daytime on Monday–Friday (starting time is normally at 8:00 or 13:00);
- when a course given by Umeå University has booked an exam; and
- provided that there are seats available in the exam hall.
You cannot take an on-campus e-examination (digital exam) in our premises, for example an exam using Inspera or DigiExam.
Book your place well in advance
You must make sure we have your booking request at least 14 days before the exam date. The University's Exam Services will help out with the administration of your exam.
You, or your contact person at your university, submit the booking request by sending an email to tentamensservice@umu.se with the following information:
- student's first and last name;
- student's personal identity number;
- student's phone number;
- student's email address;
- name of the contact person at the student's university;
- contact person's phone number;
- contact person's email address;
- date of the exam;
- start and end time of the exam; and
- course name or exam name, alternatively the course code.
Once the exam has been booked, the Exam Services will send a confirmation both to you and your contact person. The confirmation email includes a booking ID.
The contact person must send the exam, along with the booking ID, by email to tentamensservice@umu.se no later than 12:00 two working days before the exam date.
Exams for exchange students
If you need to take an exam for your home university in another country while you are in Umeå, please contact the department holding the course you are currently taking at Umeå university (or the first course you will take, if you have not yet started). Do this as soon as you know when the exam you need to take is scheduled, as an earlier notice will make it easier for us to assist you.
This also applies if you are an outbound exchange student who has returned to Umeå and need to take an exam for a course you have taken at a partner university.
