• Remember to click the Get receipt button after submitting.
• Remember to check you paper by re-entering the flow.
• Note that if you during the exam decide to hand in a blank paper, your should click the Hand in blank button. Please do NOT upload a blank paper.

Please notice that the demoflow runs at a lower security level than the real exam which means that it is possible to cheat when using the demo version but not the exam version.

It is recommended that you set up WISEflow to send you e-mails with notifications, so that you automatically receive emails from WISEflow, e.g. when you are registered for an exam.

1. Log on to WISEflow.
2. Click on your name in the upper right-hand corner and select "Edit profile".
3. Select the "Email" tab and turn on "Receive notification" next to the desired email address(es). You may also add a new email address.
4. Click "Save settings".
5. To ensure that you receive emails from WISEflow, click the "Send testmail" button. If you do not receive an email from WISEflow, you should check your spam/junk filter.  If the email is caught by your spam filter, you should mark the email as “not junk/spam” in order to receive future emails from WISEflow directly in your inbox.

FLOWlock is a special type of flow in WISEflow, which is tailored to on-site examinations, where the exam paper must be completed and submitted within a specific time frame, with only limited or no aids and under supervision.

A FLOWlock exam (WO or WOMC) takes place entirely within the FLOWlock browser, where you will get access to a built-in text editor which limits your access to all other programmes on your computer while the flow is active.

To take a FLOWlock exam, you must download, install and test the FLOWlock browser. Click on your name in the top right-hand corner in WISEflow and select "Edit profile".  On the "System Requirements" tab you can download and test the browser. Here you will also be able to see if your computer meets the minimum requirements.

It is important that you do this well ahead of the date of the examination in order to prevent any problems, e.g. shortages on your computer, trouble with the FLOWlock browser or getting access to the demoflow.

For detailed information about FLOWlock, see the guideline for WO and WOMC exams.

If you have to hand in a paper as part of a group, you must follow these guidelines for group exams.

When attending on-site exams, you are required to be present in the examination room stated on the exam plan. This means that you are not allowed to submit an exam paper or click the button “Hand in blank” if you are not present in the actual exam room. Submissions made outside the examination room will be treated as attempts of cheating and will be reported.

If you are registered for an on-site exam and decide in advance not to take it, you should either deregister the exam within the time limit or refrain from appearing at the exam. Absence from an exam will be registered as a used exam attempt and will give you access to registering for the reexamination. See also Exam registration and withdrawal in the left-hand menu.

Consequences of cheating at exams

It is your responsibility to stay informed about the traditions within your subject field and the code of ethics. Violating these rules is a serious matter and may be so severe that it must be treated as exam cheating.

The consequences of cheating at exams are specified in the Rules regarding disciplinary measures for students. Attempts at cheating at exams will be dealt with in accordance with the rules on exam cheating no matter whether the attempt at cheating is successful or whether you actually intended to cheat. The rules on exam cheating are applicable irrespective of the type of examination.

WISEflow can be accessed on: https://europe.wiseflow.net/login/dk/au - where you have two options for logging in to your account:

1. Through WAYF, using your regular user name and password from the AU self-service system mystudies.au.dk. If you have forgotten your password for mit.au.dk, you can log on using your NemID (key card) and create a new password.
   
   
2. Using NemId (key card) Using NemId (key card)

We recommend that you use Firefox or Chrome (the last two versions of both) for accessing WISEflow.

The first time you log on to WISEflow, you will be prompted to accept UNIwise`s (the supplier`s) Cookies and Privacy policies.

You will be prompted again if you change computer or browser or delete cookies in your browser.

WAYF – Where Are You From – constitutes a link between your Aarhus University login (or any other educational institution) and external web services.

To access WAYF, you should use the same username and password as for mystudies.au.dk, which means you can use your mit.au.dk username and password to get access to various pages. In brief: one username and one password gives you access to several different services.  And as long as you are logged on to the system, you can jump from one service to another without having to log in again.

When using WISEflow you may be asked to enter your AU ID.

You will find your AU ID on mystudies.au.dk. How to:

1. Log in to mystudies.au.dk.
2. Click on “Personal Information”.
3. Your AU ID should be visible right below your civil registration number.

It appears from the digital exam code whether you are allowed to use the internet during the exam for information searching. (In WOA, WOMC and WO exams, you are not permitted to use the internet.)

The internet may NEVER be used to communicate with others in or outside the exam room. All communication services and file sharing services on your computer (email, Messenger, Skype, Dropbox, etc.) MUST therefore be closed during the entire exam.

No, the exams are digital (unless the instructions for a specific exam allow you to hand in handwritten graphs and figures). In case of general technical problems during the exam it might be decided to complete the exam anyway written by hand. If your computer fails during the exam the exam supervisors can give you permission to complete the exam handwritten.

If during an on-site exam or a take-home assignment, you decide not to submit your assignment, you must click “Hand in blank” in Wiseflow without uploading anything.

The system will register that you do not wish to submit an assignment, and you will be registered for one examination attempt. In the Self-service system, you will see an FE (left exam) next to the exam.

At an on-site exam, you may NEVER access the exam flow from home and click “Hand in blank”. This will be regarded as exam cheating.

If you are registered for an on-site exam and decide in advance not to take it, you should either deregister the exam within the time limit or refrain from appearing at the exam. Absence from an exam will be registered as a used exam attempt and will give you access to registering for the reexamination. See also Exam registration and withdrawal in the left-hand menu.

The start and end times of your exam are listed in the exam schedules, which are found in the menu below “Exam” and “Exam Schedules”.

You can also see the start and end times of your exam in the exam flow in WISEflow. Please note that WISEflow shows the start and end times in the time zone selected on your computer, i.e. if you are abroad, and your computer is set to a time zone, which is, for example, 2 hours after Denmark, the start time 9:00 will be shown as 11:00 in WISEflow.

You must submit your exam paper prior to the exam end time. The exam flow will be closed immediately when the exam deadline expires. It is therefore important that you generate a PDF file and start submitting your exam paper approximately 10 minutes in advance of the exam end time. At FLOWlock exams (WO and WOMC) you can work on your exam paper right up the exam end time and then proceed to submit your paper.
