Examination


Examinations are tests which are usually organised at the end of a course. Exams are usually written but they can also be conducted as oral or practical tests. You should be notified of the dates for the exams at the start of the course.
 

Always register for the exam


In order to take part in an exam you must be registered for the course and have registered for the exam itself. Make sure that you are registered as a student on the course in the Student portal student registry database or via the school's reception. Registration for the exam and any possible re-takes can be made on the internet by visiting http://tenta.hh.seexternal link at the latest one week before the exam is set to take place. If you have not registered in advance, you will need to wait until the invigilator has started the exam for the registered students, provided that there are places available in the exam hall. Students with disabilities must (following a meeting with the University's disabled student officer) submit a special form two weeks prior to the exam date in order to receive assistance. The form should be sent to the Student Affairs Department.

Important information, Halmstad University will change the registration system for exams during this coming year.
For the School of IDE  the transfer to the new system, Student Portal, is completed and students are available to register through the Student Portal. From the second week in January 2012, students at the School of HOS are also available to register through the Student Portal.

Important considerations for written exams


Make sure you arrive with plenty of time to spare. Valid general ID should be shown. It is not permitted to choose your place yourself. You are responsible for checking what aids are permitted in the exam room. Notes, hand computers, mobile telephones etc may not be taken to your allotted desk. Any talk between the candidates is not permitted. The candidate may not leave the room until 40 minutes after the start of the exam at the earliest, even for visits to the toilet. Disabled students can be provided with specific assistance during the examination. A plan for assistance requirements should be made by the disabled student together with the university disabled student officer.

Re-takes


Students who fail in an examination are entitled to a re-take. Each 'regular' examination includes the possibility of a further two re-take exam dates. If further dates are required, the student may be asked to sit the exam based on a new or amended syllabus from that of the original course. This regulation is in force regardless of whether the three exam dates have been used up or not. The lecturer responsible for the course has the right to organise an extra exam providing that there are specific reasons for it and the examiner approves it. If students fail twice in an examination for a course or part of a course, they have the right to change examiner.

Exam results and follow-up sessions


Results can be found in the Student Portal. You have the right as a student to an oral or written follow-up of the exam. The date / time for this follow-up session is notified at the latest at the same time as the exam results are notified. Candidates have the right to receive their exam scripts starting from the day of the grading approval and for a maximum of one year after wards. After this the School has no liabilities in terms of archiving exams. Once students have received their exam scripts back from the office they can no longer request the revision of the original corrections / marks.
