Written examinations

Written examinations are one form of assessment at Södertörn University. Registration for written examinations is obligatory. All written examinations at Södertörn University are anonymous, so students are allocated a code for their exam instead of their name, making them anonymous when the exam is marked.

Registration is obligatory for written examinations. Every time you register for a written exam, you receive a personal code, which is unique to that exam. Instead of your name and personal ID number, write the code and the date on the material that you hand in after the examination.

You have two weeks in which to sign up for written examinations for courses on which you are registered. The registration period always starts three weeks before an exam and ends one week before it. You cannot go straight to the examination room as an unregistered student.

How do I register for a written exam?
