The exam venue will be continuously updated in StudentLadok and JU Mobile. Make sure you can find your way to the exam location and that you are present at least 10 minutes before the exam starts.

If you are unable to attend the exam, you must cancel your registration as soon as possible.

Problems with registration

Note! It is NOT considered a problem to miss/forget to register.

JU Mobile

The JU Mobile app is linked to your course registrations in Ladok. If you have notifications enabled on the app, you will be notified both when the exam registration period opens and before it closes. You will also receive reminders.

Please note that notifications in JU Mobile do not work on all Android models.

Exam times

Exams take place at fixed times, which are the same every day. Exams start at 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. It is common for exams to also be scheduled on weekends and public holidays.

The doors to the examination rooms are closed and locked 10 minutes before the exam begins. To ensure fairness and proper conduct in the exam hall, all students must have time to hang up their outerwear, find their seats, and listen to the instructions. Late arrivals also disturb other students.

Students who arrive later than 10 minutes before the exam starts (8:50 a.m. or 1:50 p.m.) will not be admitted and must wait until the second admission at 9:30 a.m. or 2:30 p.m

Valid ID cards

During the exam, you must be able to show a valid physical ID.

Approved IDs are:

• Valid Swedish driver’s license
• Valid Swedish passport
• Valid Swedish national ID card
• Valid JU card marked with “Identity Card”
• Valid foreign passport, needs to be plastic wrapped and be in either English, French, or Spanish
• National identity card issued in an EU/EEA country where citizenship is stated
• Identity card for individuals registered in Sweden’s population registry
• Swedish SIS-approved identity card

(ref. https://polisen.se/en/services-and-permits/passport-and-national-id-card/ External link, opens in new window.)

Identification with Mobile BankID or Freja eID+ does not constitute physical identification and is therefore not accepted as valid identification documents during exams.

Without an approved ID, you are not allowed to do the examination and you will be dismissed from the exam hall. Make sure to put your ID on the desk so that the invigilators have easy access to it. Keep the ID card on the desk during the whole examination.

Cheating and disruptive behavior

The Examination Team ensures that examinations are conducted in an orderly manner and in accordance with due process.

Jönköping University’s rules and the instructions given by the examination invigilator must be followed. Suspected cheating or disruptive behaviour during an examination is reported to the Disciplinary and Expulsion Board (DAN). The Board determines what disciplinary action, if any, will be taken in cases of cheating or disruptive behaviour.

The examination invigilator may, at any time and without specific suspicion, check what is on your desk.

The invigilator may also look through permitted books to check that they do not contain any unauthorised notes.

Leaving the examination room during an ongoing exam

If you leave the examination room during an ongoing examination without permission from an invigilator, you will be considered to have ended your examination.

Only the toilets located inside the examination room may be used, unless otherwise instructed by the examination invigilators.

If you wish to leave the examination room because you have completed your examination, you must submit your examination according to the instructions given by the examination invigilators before leaving.

No student/examinee may leave the examination room during the first 30 minutes of the examination.

Double exams

You can apply to take two examinations that take place at the same time. You must submit this request via the case management system External link, opens in new window..
Once you have submitted your request, you will receive a reply with information about which exam hall you will take your exams in. If you do not submit your request no later than 10 days before your exams take place, you will not be able to take both exams, but only the one held in the exam hall you are in.

If you have registered to take double exams on paper, you will receive both exams from the start if they allow the same aids. If you are taking double exams in Inspera, you will be able to choose which one you want to start with. Only one of the exams can be handled at a time. Once one exam has been completed, the next can be started. This must be done in dialogue with the exam invigilator so that any aids can be checked. The end time of each exam must be followed. Therefore, it is recommended that you start with the one that has the earliest end time.

Please note that no extra time is allocated to students taking two exams.

Anonymized exams

Exams at JU are conducted using an anonymization code. A code is used instead of the student’s name and personal identity number (for example, DCH-YHJ). This means that your identity is unknown to the examiner during grading.

When you register for an exam, you receive this code via Ladok. If you take a paper-based exam, you will find your anonymization code on the cover sheet of your exam folder. You must write the code on each answer sheet when submitting. If you take a digital exam, you will find your anonymization code in the upper left corner.
