Examination
Through examination you show that you have fulfilled a course's intended learning outcomes, for example through an exam or project task. Here you can read bout how to register for an exam, where to find information about your course's examination, the different types of examinations and the rules that apply.
Before the examination
Mandatory registration for the exam
For exams during exam periods and for less extensive exams such as quizzes, you must register via Ladok, under the heading Examinations.
Don't forget to confirm your registration - once the exam is confirmed, it will appear under the tab Signed up.
Exam periods and registration dates
If you have any problems registering for your exam in Ladok, please contact the student desk office for your course before the registration period closes.
If you have not registered for the exam on time
It is not possible to register for an exam after the deadline if you forgot to register. However, if you are taking a written (non-digital) exam in an exam hall on campus and failed to register on time, you may be allowed to take the exam on a space-available basis. You might be admitted during the first intake if the exam hall is not full from the start, or during the second intake—half an hour after the start—if a registered student fails to show up. For digital exams held in computer labs, it is not possible to take the exam on a space-available basis. You must present a printout of a valid course registration certificate to the invigilator at the entrance; a digital certificate is not accepted. The easiest way to print a course registration certificate is via Ladok for students , under the "Certificates" tab. You can also obtain a course registration certificate by visiting KTH Entré (see pening hours for KTH Entré ).
Room allocation for your exam
The room allocation email is usually sent five days before the exam and no later than the day before. If you haven't received an email, check the following:
- You must be registered for the exam to receive a room allocation email.
- The email is sent to your KTH address. Please check your KTH address and other possible address you might have set email forwarding to, including the Junk mail folder. The email's subject is ”Salsplacering / room allocation [date]” and the sender is noreply@tentaadmin.uhr.se. Please note that automatically forwarded e-mails might not reach the e-mail address it is forwarded to.
Forwarding e-mail
If you have not received a room allocation email or have any further questions, please contact the student desk office . You can also visit KTH Entré or email info@kth.se if you have not received a room allocation email. Please note that your request must be sent from your KTH email address.
