Campus and online exams

Our aim is to seat no more than five students in the same exam room for those who have been granted the accommodation to take an exam in a small group.

There are two confirmations of your registration: you need to ensure you have at least one.

The first is that your registration will disappear from the box under the heading “Sign up for examinations” and move to “Examinations you are signed up for”. On the day of the exam, your registration will disappear from here.

The second is that you will receive an email to your university account: check that it isn’t in your junk inbox.

If you do not see your registration, then you have not registered (signed up) for the exam. If registration is closed, you will have to wait until the next exam opportunity. The system does not allow late registrations.

Up until the day of the exam, you will be able to see which exams you have signed up for on the Student Web on the Examination Services webpage under Examinations. You will also receive a confirmation in your university email. Please check your junk/spam filter.

You cannot view your exam registration in Examination Services on the same day as the exam. Look for your confirmation of exam registration that was sent to your email with the sender noreply@du.se.

You can see this in your exam registration in Examination Services, under Examination tools; there, it will say “Inspera”.

You can go to whichever one you want on that campus. If you have been assigned a specific room, the examination invigilator will direct you to the correct room.

No, there is a limited number of places on each campus. Registration closes when the venue is full; after this, the next available venue will open. See your exam registration.

The exam invigilators try to allow access to the room about 45 minutes before the exam starts and will keep the door open until the clock in the room reads 10 minutes before the exam starts. At this time, the door closes, and no one else is allowed to enter the room.

For paper exams – you can find them on the Student web/Examination services.

For exams written in Canvas – you will find them in Canvas/Grades.

For exams written in Inspera – you can find them on  https://du.inspera.com/; select Archive.

All exams are saved for two years before they are discarded.

In Inspera, the order of exam questions is random. This means that when you compare your results, you also need to compare the content, ​​not the order of the questions in the exam. If a question bank is used in the exam, the questions may also vary even if they examine the same content.

You will find your examination study support on Examination services, in the box “Examinations you are signed up for”. In column “Other”, you can press the circled i.

There you will se your examination study support that you have applied for, specific to that exam. Information regarding examination study support is not visible in the mail confirmation.

No, we only send information if we are NOT able to provide support, as well as specific information about adapted course material in Inspera, where the student is responsible for sorting out the support.

The first thing you should do is find out if your NAIS decision is still valid. 

If it is not valid, you will need to apply for new support on www.nais.uhr.se.

If your NAIS decision is still valid but your examination accommodations are still not available when you register for an exam, you should immediately contact the coordinator for targeted educational support on pedagogisktstod@du.se.

Ensure that you have literature to assist you in the exam. You can do this by contacting the course coordinator. If it is missing, you will not receive the support. The examination coordinator will contact you after registration has closed, and you will then need to provide the author, year, title and ISBN number. The exam instructor will give you a USB stick with the material. You, as a student, will import the file into EasyReader. You are responsible for knowing how the programs work. If you do not do so, you are encouraged to contact the library at bibinfo@du.se well in advance of the date of the exam. No technical support is provided during the exam.

You may be granted extended examination time in accordance with your NAIS decision. Other examination accommodations cannot be used for examinations conducted in Canvas. Text-to-speech (talsyntes) and spell-checking tools are indistinguishable from ChatGPT and other AI-based functions during invigilation. Therefore, they are only permitted upon approval by the examiner. However, such approval is not standard practice.

The answers below apply to campus exams and online exams in the Inspera system.

The system has built-in speech synthesis and spelling. These are always turned on unless language is being examined or the examiner has chosen to remove them. You have to activate it yourself via the menu in the right-hand corner.

Extra time is activated by Examination Services, and you can see in the left-hand corner, after the exam starts, how much time you have left on the exam. If this is not visible, turn it on via the menu in the right-hand corner.

Take an exam in a small group/individually: All educational support computers at Dalarna University can use Inspera and are therefore portable. However, there may be a lack of resources to accommodate exams in smaller groups or individually. At Campus Borlänge, there are two private rooms adjacent to the regular room.

Adapted course material is compatible with Inspera. Provided that literature is permitted for use during the exam, the examination coordinator will email the student instructions approximately 4–7 days before the exam. The instructions will say what the student needs to do before the exam so that the literature can be activated and used during the exam.

No, during an exam, we do not provide assistance with the programs AppWriter or SkrivaText; nor do we provide assistance with Microsoft 365, Legimus or EasyReader.

We encourage students to download these programs onto their personal computer via the webpage Software licences for students and learn how to use them before an exam.

The exam function will assign you an examination room after registration has closed.

It will be clear in the Examination Services portal that you have been assigned a different room, and this information will remain in the portal up to to the day of the examination.

Our aim is to seat no more than five students in the same exam room for those who have been granted the accommodation to take an exam in a small group.

There will always be an examination invigilator in the room.

Students with this recommendation who take their exams on Campus Falun are allocated the room Sal A234. This room contains five individual writing stations along a wall that are separated from each other by a partition screen. To reduce audible distractions, examinees can borrow hearing protectors. 

On Campus Borlänge, two completely private examination rooms are available.
