Summer courses end with an examination. Once you have registered and have been admitted to the course, you are automatically registered for the ordinary examination. If you withdraw from the ordinary exam, or if you fail it, please note that your next examination attempt must be made either in the same year as the teaching took place, or the following year.
Pre-requisites for taking the exam
There may be prerequisites for taking the examination, e.g. submission of compulsory assignments, class participation. You can find more information in the course description under ‘Exam’. If you do not meet the conditions for taking the exam, and you have not cancelled your exam registration, you have used one examination attempt.
Remember to bring your student identity card to your exam – or photo ID (passport or driving licence) If you have not received your student card.
Exam withdrawal
If you do not want to take the exam, you must remember to withdraw from the exam via KUnet > Self Service > Enrolment, Courses and Exams. If you do not withdraw from the exam, you have used one exam attempt.
Registering for re-examination
If you fail or do not take the ordinary exam, you must register for re-examination by writing to studentservices@science.ku.dk. You will not be registered automatically.
Re-exams for 2020 summer courses take place in November 2020.
Documentation and transcripts
If you want documentation to show you have passed a single subject course, you can print a transcript via ‘Self Service’ on KUnet. If you need a signed printout of your examination result and transcript, please contact the Helpdesk in SCIENCE Student Services.
