Written on-campus examinations at MDU

A written on-campus examination (tenta) is a test that you write at a particular place and time. To be able to take a written on-campus exam you first need to sign up for it.

Registration for an exam

Written examinations are usually booked at one of the campuses. In cases where a course is given in several locations you can only register for one location, which normally is at the study location for the course. You sign up for the exam in Ladok. Registration opens 21 days before the exam date and closes 10 days before the exam. If you haven’t registered in time you will have to wait until the next time the exam is given.

Cancel a registration

It is important that you cancel your registration for the examination if you cannot participate. To avoid costs for locations, supervisors and material the cancelation must be done at the latest on the last registration day, normally 10 days before the examination. Please cancel the registration even if the deadline has passed. Even though the costs already incurred, resources can be redistributed.

Time and place

Time and place are published on the web schedule no later than two working days before the exam. There are also notice boards at the Student Center with information about current exams.

Important to know before taking exams

• Bring valid identification with a photo and Swedish social security number with you, for example a driving license, passport or a Swedish/international ID card. If you do not have a Swedish social security number, you need to bring your passport or national ID card. Please bear in mind that neither the MDU card, digital ID nor a photocopy of identification counts as valid identification, nor a residence permit or LMA card.

• Be on time. The doors for the exam are open from 08.00-08.20 for exams in the morning and 14.00-14-20 for exams in the afternoon. On Saturdays the doors for the exam are open 08.30-08.50. The doors are locked 10 minutes before the exam starts, and a second entry is allowed 30 minutes after the start of the exam. Coming late means that your exam time is shortened by 30 minutes.
• Bags, outdoor clothes and personal belongings such as mobile phones and computers must be kept at a designated place.
• The exam invigilator will give information about rules and procedures that apply in the exam room.
• On suspicion of cheating, a report is sent to the examiner.
