At the end of each course or module, your knowledge will be tested in the form of a summative assessment. The most common form of assessment is a written examination. There may also be laboratory sessions involving documentation such as reports, oral presentations, project work or academic papers.
We explain how examinations are conducted at Chalmers.
Before the exam
At Chalmers, you must be signed up for an exam in order to take it. You will be automatically signed up for the ordinary exam session, if you are registered on the current course instance. When taking a re-sit exam, you must sign up for the exam yourself in Ladok. You are always responsible for checking that you are signed up for exams.
Find examination dates
Examination dates for first exam, re-sit exam 1 and re-sit exam 2 are published in June for courses in study period 1 and 2 (the autumn semester). The examination dates for courses in study period 3 and 4 (the spring semester) are published in December.
On examination day
Here you will find practical information about what happens on the day of the exam, for example how you find information about your exam hall and what rules you must follow when you arrive there.
Viewing your marked exam
Once the examiner has marked your exam and the result has been reported in Ladok, you will be able to see your marked exam digitally in Canvas.
