* You are automatically registered for your 1. exam attempt in the following exam period when you register for teaching. However, if you have to use your 2. or 3. attempt, you have to register yourself in that period. **If the grade for your ordinary examination is published after the registration deadline for the re-examination, and you did not pass the ordinary examination, you will be contacted on your post.au.dk email with an offer to be registered for the re-examination. Remember to be aware of the response deadline for reporting back to the email.

Registration for reexamination

You can register for the reexamination via mystudies.au.dk -> STADS -> Examination -> Register.

It is your own responsibility to check that your exam registrations are correct at mitstudie.au.dk.

If you haven't registered during the registration period, you must apply for late registration. Send your application to Studieservice via studieservice.nat-tech@au.dk.

Late registration after the start of the examination period must be applied for through mitstudie.au.dk.

If you did not pass the exam in the first attempt

When you have to do a reexam, there are a few things you should be aware of:

You need to have been registered and have used one examination attempt at the ordinary exam in order to register for the reexam.
You only have three attempts to pass an exam - if there are special circumstances you can apply for a dispensation for a fourth examination attempt from the Board of Studies.
It is only the newest form of examination that is offered, and if you have to take a reexam later in the semester the form might have changed since you first attended the course. OBS. therefore you need to check whether the syllabus has changed since you first attended the course.

Has your exam registration been rejected?

If you are able to see that your exam registration has been 'Rejected', you need to make sure that your study contract is updated and approved in order for the course to be taken into account. If that is in order you do not need to do anything further - there is no reason to contact the Studies Administration as the rejected registrations are corrected on an ongoing basis and will be corrected before the publication of the examination schedules.

Likewise, if you register for a re-examination before the grades for the ordinary examination have been published on STADS, your registration will also be rejected - but again, there is no need to worry - the rejected registrations are corrected on an ongoing basis and will be corrected before the publication of the re-examination schedules.

Reexams for courses in compulsory programmes

It is your own responsibility that you fulfill the requirements in the compulsory program. This means that you are responsible for knowing the number of assignments required in order to attend the exam.

In courses where it is possible, students should be offered the opportunity to resubmit assignments prior to the date for final exam registration, which will secure all students the opportunity to obtain a sufficient number of approved assignments during the course. It is recommended that the course coordinator considers number and scheduling of compulsory assignments/exercises to make resubmission possible.

If you do not meet the criteria in the compulsory program and thus cannot be registered for examination, this means that:

You will get a failed result registered for your 1^st exam attempt.
You are not able to register for the next reexam, since you have to complete the parts of the course required for the compulsory program.

If you have to follow the course again in order to fulfill the requirements, this course will be added to the 30 ECTS for that semester, and there is no guarantee that your regular schedule will allow room for completing the entire course again.

For courses involving laboratory exercises, these must be completed in the laboratory once more, so you can fulfill the requirements in order to register for your second exam attempt.

Illness in connection with exam

Illness during the examination

You should leave the exam if you feel too ill to complete it.

Contact the exam supervisor or examiner and say that you are leaving the exam because you feel ill.
Contact your doctor on the same day or as soon as possible after the exam day and get a doctor's certificate. This also applies to symptoms from known chronic illnesses.
You must register yourself for the next exam.
To obtain an exemption, you must be able to document that you were ill during the exam and could not complete it.

Note: The Board of Studies gives less weight to your doctors certificate if the doctor did not see you while you were ill.

Illness or death in the immediate family

Illness in your immediate family may affect you so much that you cannot take the exam.

You must submit an application for deregistration as soon as you know that you cannot take the exam.
You do not need to send a doctor's certificate documenting illness in your immediate family.
Instead, you must document, e.g. by means of a doctor's certificate, how your study ability is affected and, if so, in what period.

If there is a death in your immediate family, it may mean that you are so affected that you cannot take the exam.

You must submit an application as soon as you know that you cannot take the exam.
You must document the death by means of a death certificate.
If the death occurred more than one month before the exam is held, you should not send a death certificate, but instead a doctor's certificate describing how your study ability is affected.

By immediate family we mean parents, children, siblings, spouse/partner and grandparents.
