Digital exams, invigilated over Zoom
Find the rules and the general instructions here.
- Rules for invigilated examinations using Zoom (pdf)
- General instructions for digital examination via Zoom (pdf)
Please note:
- You must show a valid photo ID.
- You are not admitted to the exam if you are late. You must log in to Zoom on time and according to the instructions.
- The room where you take your exam must be quiet. No other persons are allowed in the room, and you are not allowed to communicate with anyone during the exam, other than the invigliator.
- Move away any unnecessary things from your desk.
- You are allowed to eat and drink during the exam. Make sure to prepare for this before the exam begins, since you are not allowed to leave the room during the exam.
Read the document above thourougly, and ask your course administrator if you have any questions.
After the exam
- The teacher will not see your name, only the anonymisation code, when grading the exam.
- The teacher can only grade exams where the written content is readable.
- Once the exam is graded, the result associated with the anonymization code is entered into Ladok by the subject's course administrator.
- The grading process is anonymous, but not the final grading (assigning grades). Before the examiner attests the result, they can see to whom each code belongs (as required by Swedish law).
- After the result is attested, you will receive an email, and you can log in to Ladok for students to view your result.
- Graded exams may be handed out by the teacher, often during an exam review session. If this doesn't happen, or if the student is not present during the review, the exams can be collected at the receptions at LUX or SOL, unless the teacher provides other information. Please note that graded exams are typically not sent home to the student.
- Please be aware that graded exams are considered public documents, and copies can be requested by the public (e.g., other students).
If you want to access your anonymisation code later (useful for the exam review session), you can retrieve it in Ladok for students starting from the first calendar day after the exam.
Students must be able to prove their identity by presenting a valid physical (not digital) photo ID. If the student cannot present a valid photo ID, they will not be allowed to sit the exam. Valid types of photo ID are:
- Swedish passport
- Swedish driving licence
- Swedish national identity card
- Swedish ID card for residents issued by the Swedish Tax Agency
- National identity card issued by an EU/EEA/Schengen country
- Foreign passport
Provisional passports and LU cards do not constitute a valid form of identification. It is, however, recommended that LU cards are presented as an additional verification in situations where a non-Swedish form of ID is used.
Students with protected identities are to present valid ID and an alias certificate. Please ask your course administrator if you need information.

- If an exam invigilator discovers or suspects cheating, they have an obligation to report it.
- If an investigation reveals that a student has deliberately cheated during an exam, the Disciplinary Board may impose disciplinary measures, such as suspension from both classes and examinations for up to six months.
- An exam invigilator has the right to dismiss any student who disturbs and/or hinders their fellow students from completing the exam.

If you missed registering for an invigilated exam in Ladok, there might be a small chance for you to still take the exam, provided that there are available seats in the exam room and enough exam papers printed. However, you cannot remain anonymous and will need to write your personal identification number and name on the participant list and the submitted exam.
You must inform the exam invigilator that you haven't registered earlier and wait outside the exam room until the registered students have entered. Since registered students may be allowed to arrive up to half an hour late for the exam, you might have to wait for 30 minutes to be let in. This time will not be compensated. If you start an exam without prior registration and without informing the exam invigilator about your missing registration, your exam will not be graded.
Written invigilated exams and supervised online exams on Zoom (both regular exams and reexaminations) require mandatory registration via Ladok.
Written invigilated exams are graded anonymously. Take-home exams that are comparable to invigilated exams should also be anonymized (i.e., take-home exams where the written task is the same for everyone and not part of a multi-step writing process).
Anonymous grading does not apply to oral exams, quizzes, or assignments.
At present, Zoom-supervised exams cannot be graded anonymously while maintaining legal certainty.
If you are entitled to accommodations during the exam situation (such as extra writing time, individual seating, etc.), you apply for your accommodations in Ladok (only at HT-faculties at the moment). Your examiner then decides which accommodations are allowed. Please notify your study counsellor when the term starts to learn more about possible adaptations in your course.
You must register for your exams at latest two weeks before the exam, for us to have time to arrange the accommodations.
Even if you write the exam in a separate room, the exam invigilator will provide you with an anonymous code (assuming you have registered for the exam/re-exam in Ladok).
