Rules for Generation tools:
AU has adjusted the rules for the use of Generative AI (GAI) so that it is now allowed in all projects, unless your academic regulations or the course catalogue doesn’t explicitly state that using GAI is not allowed. It is important that you are aware of when GAI is allowed to use and how to cite it correctly. If it is permitted, you must follow the same referencing rules that apply to any other sources, as it otherwise will be regarded as plagiarism. Read more about GAI in the menu item 'GAI and chatbots' on the left.
It is your own responsibility to be present when it is your turn to be examined. The exam list is not a time schedule, so if one student does not show up, the next one on the list will be examined instead. Therefore, if you want to make sure that you are there, when the lecturers are ready to examine you, you should be there from the beginning of the exam schedule - you cannot know whether all students listed on the exam schedule will be present.
If there is preparation time before the oral exam the first student has to show up 30 minutes before the examination starts.

Rules for mobile phones:
You are only allowed to use a mobile phone during the written exam for two-factor authentication when logging on to AU server. The exam supervisor's instructions must be followed.
If you need to prepare hand-written material in connection with your written digital exam – such as drawings, formulae or other items – the material must be digitised and attached to your exam paper. You are personally responsible for digitising the material and attaching it to your exam paper.
The digitisation must take place in the time allowed for the exam and in the examination room, using approved digitisation tools.
If you need to prepare hand-written material, you must choose between the following digitisation solutions:
You are personally responsible for ensuring that the digitised material is of a quality that enables it to be read and assessed. We recommend that you try out the digitisation tools well before the exam, so that you are completely familiar with them when you use them in the exam.
You are not permitted to use a mobile phone, tablet, or other communication platforms to digitise hand-written material during exams on Campus. See the rules and regulations for communication during a written exam under 'Examination' > 'WISEflow' in the menu.
You have two options for attaching digitised material to your exam paper. You can:
We recommend that you enter the hand-written material directly in your exam paper, so that you can submit the paper as a single document.
* Digitisation tools are available in reasonable quality in price ranges from below DKK 100.
When you are sitting a written exam, please note that communication is not permitted. Communication during an exam is regarded as cheating.
If you receive messages or similar from communication platforms or file-sharing services during the exam, you must under no circumstances answer them, and you must immediately inform the exam supervisors about what has happened.
Make sure you know the rules, which can be found under 'Examination' > 'Cheating at exams' in the menu.
You must always bring your student ID card for written on-site exams. This is so that the exam invigilation can identify you as an AU student.
