Written examination
Registration
You must always register for the exam - regardless of whether it is a regular exam or a re-exam. Registration in Ladok must be completed no later than 12 days before the exam date and is required for participation. Information about date, place and time is available in Ladok. In most cases, exam registration opens a bit into the course and is thus not always visible at the start.
NOTE! If you have registered but will not participate, it is important that you deregister. Deregistration in Ladok helps us avoid unnecessary material and room costs.
Uppsala University's general exam information
Exam date
Regular course exams are generally given at the end of the period, and re-exams are offered during specific re-exam periods.
Re-take exam
Most courses offer the possibility to retake exams during specific periods over the year. Courses offered multiple times each academic year may have other dates.
If a course is given multiple times over the academic year, it may be possible to retake the exam at a later regular exam date. If you choose to retake an exam at a later regular exam date, it can't be guaranteed not collide with other course sessions.
Accommodations at written examination
If you study at the Faculty of Science and Technology and have been granted exam accommodations, you need to submit a request for this before each exam.
Retrieving written exam
All written exams at a department by the Faculty of Science and Technology are scanned and can be retrieved digitally.
You can find your exams by logging into the storage service with your student account. The exam is saved on the server for two years, after which it will be deleted according to archiving regulations for exams.
Eight months after the exam has been written the physical copy will be shredded and will no longer be available.
Reconsideration of exam
Grades can not be appealed. However, the examiner can reassess the grade. Reassessment takes place due to new circumstancesor if the grade is clearly incorrect, provided the change can be made quickly and easily. It is thus not a question of "correcting" or "reconsidering" already-assessed answers, but of correcting obvious errors. A typical example is that the result has been incorrectly added together, or a question has been forgotten.
If you feel that the examination or grading has not followed the current rules, you can turn to a grading ombudsman.
To have your grade reconsidered, fill out the grading review form and submit it to the Student Office IT.
Transfer of credits
Courses taken at a foreign university normally qualify for credit towards a degree at Uppsala University.
Students who have studied at another higher education institution in Sweden can generally count these studies towards a degree without any special transfer of credits. Decisions on credit transfers for courses as part of a general degree (a whole course) are made by the Student Affairs and Academic Registry Division, acting by delegation from the Vice-Chancellor. You apply directly to the Student Registry Unit at the Student Affairs and Academic Registry Division.

Academic leave of absence and discontinuation
