The purpose of this information is to prevent disruption in the exam halls and suspicions of cheating, both violations for which you as a student can be summoned to the disciplinary board. The methods of examinations used on the course you are taking are described in the course syllabus.
Two commonly used methods of examination are written examinations in exam halls and take-home examinations. Written assignments, essays, seminars and hand-in assignments are examples of other methods used. Exam sign-up opens 25 days before the day of the exam.
The last day of signing up is 7 days before the day of the exam. Sign up for your exam in the student portal Studenttjänster. If you do not have an ORU account, contact your Frågor och Svar to sign up for the exam. Find your school here.
To be permitted to take the exam, you are required to bring a valid form of ID to the exam hall. At Örebro University, all exams are anonymous to ensure a fair and impartial marking process. Anonymous codes are issued in the exam hall on the day of the exam.
Your exam should be marked within 15 working days from the day of the exam. Two days after you have received your grade, your marked written examination will be scanned and you will be able to view it in Studenttjänster. The scanned copy is your original. Contact Studentcentrum if you are having trouble viewing your scanned examination.
The paper copy of your written examination will be discarded a month after it has been scanned. If you wish to pick up the paper copy before it is discarded, email your request to Studentcentrum. Bring a valid form of ID.
It is important that you take the examination as prescribed in the course syllabus that applied at the time you were registered on the course, or that you in consultation with the study advisor decide on how best to complete the course.
Course syllabuses are revised from time to time and perhaps the course design is different today from when you were registered on the course. If a course is revised significantly or discontinued, it must be phased out for a period of 12—18 months.
If this would be the case, the school in question will send out information. If you have a documented disability, you can apply for special educational support with Funka disability support. Contact the disability coordinators at Funka for more information on how to apply for support.
