Examination

There are various ways of examining the elements of a study programme, i.e. various ways of assessing student performance. This can be done through written exams, take-home exams, written assignments, oral presentations, papers or laboratory work. You can read about the forms of examination for your study programme in the relevant course syllabi.

Written exams on Campus

Scheduled exam sessions are entered in the timetable for your course. The venue for the exam and other important information is added to the course timetable at the latest two days before the exam session. The timetable for the day is displayed on screens in Building 7.

Register for written exams

You must always register for a written exam on Campus, both ordinary sessions and re-exams. The registration opens 50 days before the exam and closes 14 days before the exam date. You register for an exam in the Student Portal under Web services, or use the Kronox app.

If you have received pedagogical support, you choose which support you want to use during the exam when you sign up.

If you have any queries, please contact the study administration on student@hkr.se.

General information

How many times may I re-take an exam on my course?

There is usually no limit to the number of re-exams you can attempt as long as your course syllabus is still valid. If there is a limit, it will be stated in the course syllabus.

When an examination requires major resources, the number of permitted re-exams may be limited. This applies to tests which involve practical elements such as laboratory work or study visits. In such cases, you are entitled to a maximum of five re-exams.

If you have not passed the exam after two attempts, you are entitled to request a change of examiner or assessing teacher. The decision applies to the upcoming/next examination.

This request is to be sent to student@hkr.se. The decision is made by the dean of the faculty. In the email you should state:

Your name.
Your social security number.
If your request concerns a change of examiner or assessing teacher.
Course code for the course in which you request a change of examiner or assessing teacher.
Which exam in the course your request refers to.
Name of the teacher who assessed the exam.
Name of examiner, i.e. the person who made the decision about your grade.

Before your first exam session, it is important that you read our rules and procedures:
