Please note: Exam registration (sign up) in Ladok is required for the written examination. The registration deadline is 10 days prior to each exam date. You can find information regarding start time and location of the exam under the tab Examinations (Examinationstillfällen) on Ladok.
The Student Portal has comprehensive information about e-exams in the university's examination halls. Please note that you, as a student, are responsible for complying with the rules for written examinations at the University of Gothenburg. It is therefore important that you read through this information well before your exam.
Some aspects of undertaking an e-examination are different from those of writing a paper-based exam. For example, a brought computer must meet specific system requirements, be able to connect to the eduroam network and have the Safe Exam Browser client installed. All necessary information can be found on the Student Portal. If you want to borrow a computer, it must be reserved in the TimeEdit system no later than five working days prior to the exam.
