In-person examinations
In-person examinations are one form of assessment at Södertörn University. Registration for in-person exams is compulsory. All in-person exams are anonymous, which means that you are assigned an anonymising code that replaces your name. This means you are anonymous when the exam is marked.
Before an in-person examination
When do I register for an in-person exam?
The registration period opens three weeks prior to your in-person exam and closes one week prior to it. You thus have two weeks to register for in-person examinations for the courses you are registered on. If you have problems registering, you must contact the Examination Coordination Office via tentamen@sh.se within the registration period.
How do I register for an in-person exam?

At the in-person exam
What should I bring with me?
You must take a valid ID document* to your in-person examination. If you are sitting an in-person e-examination you also need the username and password for your SH-Account. You can bring your username and password with you on a piece of paper or in your mobile phone, but you must put the note/phone away before the exam starts.
When does the check-in to the in-person exam open?
The check-in to your exam hall opens 30 minutes before the start of the exam. The invigilators close the doors when the exam starts, after which no students are allowed in.
When you check in, if you are sitting a paper-based exam you will get an anonymous code to write instead of your name on all the material you hand in at the exam. If you are sitting an e-exam, the anonymous code is automatically linked to you when you log in to the e-exam.
What are the rules in the exam hall?
Södertörn University’s Guidelines for In-Person Examinations apply to written exams. These rules exist so that all students will be equally and fairly treated. It is important that you understand them. Ask an invigilator if you are unsure about what is permitted in the exam hall or have other questions about your in-person examination.
For paper-based in-person examinations, we recommend writing your answers neatly in dark letters, for example using a black rollerball pen or thick pencil. This facilitates the assessment and scanning of your exam paper.
Digital in-person exams are written using the Inspera software on the university’s computers in the exam hall. Below, you can practice writing a digital in-person exam and familiarise yourself with the tools in Inspera.
