Always sign up for your exam
You always need to sign up if you intend to take a written exam. To be able to sign up for an exam, you must be registered on the course, and the signing up period must be open.
The sign-up period for an exam closes ten working days before the exam date. You cannot sign up later than that. Instead, you will have to wait until the next exam date if you fail to sign up on time.
You can unregister up until the time when the exam starts.
See your exam schedule
You can see upcoming exam dates for your courses when you log into Ladok for students. There, you sign up or see if you have signed up.
You can see all planned on-campus written exams taking place on Campus Umeå in the shared exam schedule. The globe at the top allows you to switch language to English.
Adapted assessment for students with disabilities
If you have been granted disability support that allows adapted assessment, please reach out to your contact for disability support in ample time before the exam, preferably at the start of the course. You must be in contact with your support person no later than ten days before the exam.
If you need any specific equipment or access to specific software, it is particularly important that you inform your contact when the course starts to ensure that your adaptations work when it comes to taking the exam.
Find your contact for disability support
Rules regarding adapted assessment can be found in the Rules for grades and examination.
Borrow a computer for an on-campus e-examination (digital exam)
