Aids and IT support for written on-site exams

You can find the exam regulations for Aarhus University here:

• Aarhus University's regulation as of September 1st 2018 regarding on-site examinations.

In the course catalogue (kursuskatalog.au.dk) you can find a detailed overview of which aids you can bring to the indivitual exam. It's your own responsibility that the aids you bring along works. In the course catalogue you can also see if your course allows specific programmes/aids.

There are only 2 categories regardinge aids:  

All	All aids - also access to internet etc. See the above mentioned regulations for details.
Indicated	It is specified what you can and cannot bring. See the course cataologue for details.

There is nothing called "No aids" anymore since handed out paper and pencil or computer is now considered aid.

Aids for digitalization of drawings

As a student you're entitled to bring the Microsoft Office package and you can get for free (get Office for free here). All the programs in the package are approved for exams and you can also convert your document to PDF in it.

If you need to digitalize a drawing you have the following options (there may be limitations for some courses - please consult the course catalogue for details):

• Use the computers camera, a hand-held web camera, a digital camera connected via USB cabel and with a cleared memory or a hand-held scanner.
• Draw directly on your computer using either mouse, drawing pen or drawing pad (we recommend Paint for PC and PaintBrush for Mac).

Calculation program/calculators

As a general rule you may use the calculator in your operating system (Windows/OS). Please consult the course catalogue before the exam since the course coordinator may have stated that you may use a different calculator.
