Design and layout
- AU’s new exam hall has been specially designed for written exams. It has excellent technical facilities and a conducive indoor climate, lighting and acoustics.
- The building has three floors with 11 large exam rooms and can accommodate 1,100 students at a time.
- All exam desks are equipped with individual power sockets and height-adjustable chairs.
- It’s rarely completely silent in the exam room during exams, because there are a lot of students and exam supervisors gathered in one space. If you’d like to use your headphones without audio for noise cancellation to help you concentrate, that’s allowed at all exams under the rules on digital devices. However, whether you can use your headphones with audio depends on the exam, so make sure you consult the rules for your particular exam.
Facilities for students who require tailored assistance
- The Exam Hall has 10 individual exam rooms and the option for partitioned desks in communal exam areas for students who require tailored assistance.
- If you require an individual exam room or a partitioned desk, please apply for exam dispensation via your board of studies
Accessible facilities
- There are six accessible parking spaces outside the Exam Hall.
- There is also a lift and accessible toilets on every floor.
Food and drinks
- There is a vending machine on the ground floor where you can buy snacks and cold drinks.
- There are cold water fountains on every floor, so you can fill up your water bottle.
Forgotten items
- Forgotten items are kept in the Examination Hall and can be picked up by arrangement with the Examination Supervisory Authority, who can be contacted by email: eksamenstilsyn@au.dk
- Forgotten items are kept for 3 months.
Show consideration during exams
- Please be considerate of your fellow students and ongoing exams inside the AU Exam Hall.
- During your exams, please keep your voice down if you need to talk to the exam supervisor or IT support. When you’re finished with your exam, please leave the room as quietly as possible out of consideration for fellow students who have been given extra time to finish theirs.

IT support
You must bring your own computer to your exam.
Before your exam, it’s important that you update your computer’s operating system (e.g. Windows or iOS) and the programs you’ll be using in your exam (e.g. Device Monitor and FLOWlock). See how to do this on AU’s WISEflow webpage.
Once you’ve updated your computer and/or other programs, it’s important to test the programs you’ll be using before your exam. You can do this using the Demoflows available in WISEflow.
There is limited on-site IT support at the Exam Hall.
FAQ
I’ve been allocated screened seating. What do I need to know?
Students who have been allocated screened seating take their exams in a screened seating area at the back of the exam room. You can see what it looks like in photos 9 and 10 at the top of the page. Remember that you can also use your headphones without audio for noise cancellation at all written on-site exams if you need to.
- Read the rules for using headphones at undgaasnyd.au.dk.
I need a private exam room. What should I do?
You can apply for dispensation to take your exams in one of the AU Exam Halls’ ten private exam rooms if you have disabilities that entitle you to this type of testing environment. You should apply to your board of studies for permission to use a private exam room.
I’ve been granted extra time to complete my exam. What do I need to know?
When you’ve been granted extra time to complete your exam, you’ll normally be seated at the back of the room together with other students who don’t have extra time. Depending on the terms of the dispensation you’ve been granted, you’ll either be assigned a standard desk, a height-adjustable desk or a screen that will be placed around your desk.
What should I do if I need to leave the exam room during the exam?
You’re only allowed to leave the exam room during an exam if you’re accompanied by an exam supervisor, for example if you need to go to the restroom. All communication during the exam must go through the exam supervisors, and you need to your hand to speak with an exam supervisor.
You should also be aware that for the first hour of an exam, you’re not allowed to leave an exam room.
What should I do if I lose my student ID card before my exam?
For all written on-site exams, you have to show your student ID card to the exam supervisor before entering the exam room. If you lose your student ID card, you can show a a valid photo ID and written confirmation of enrolment instead. You can download your written confirmation of enrolment from STADS.
What kinds of digital devices can I bring to the exam?
There are some important rules about using digital devices (such as smartwatches, headphones and tablets) at exams you need to make sure you understand, so you don’t accidentally break them.
If you’d like to use your headphones without audio for noise cancellation to help you concentrate, that’s allowed at all exams under the rules. However, whether you can use your headphones with audio depends on the exam, so make sure you familiarise yourself with the exams that apply to your exam.
