The first attempt is the exam date specified in the module delivery plan. You do not need to register for this exam unless you are specifically advised to do so.
According to the Degree Regulations, a student has two retake attempts unless otherwise agreed on special grounds with the examiner or module teacher. A passing exam grade cannot be retaken.
Special arrangements
If you have agreed on special arrangements with your study guidance counsellor, make sure you specify this in the form when you register for exams.
You are responsible for organising the special arrangements yourself. For example, if you need a computer for the exam, make sure you contact ICT services well in advance.
If the teacher or examiner is based on a different campus than the one where you will take the exam, please proceed as follows:
- Check the teacher’s or examiner’s home campus.
- Under Further Information in the form, write “I will take the exam at the ____ campus” in clear print.
- Send the form to the teacher or examiner as an email attachment no later than one week before the exam date.
Exam instructions on campus
1. Proof of identity
Please bring an official photo ID or student card to the exam. If you don’t have your ID with you, the exam supervisor cannot accept your exam submission. Your identity will be verified when you hand in your exam answers to the supervising teacher.
2. Writing supplies and other materials
Make sure you bring writing supplies and other necessary materials with you. If the use of dictionaries or other resources is permitted, it will be specified on the exam envelope. The use of calculators is not permitted in medication administration exams unless otherwise agreed with the examiner.
Leave your bags, coats, phones and other belongings on the side of the classroom.
3. Exam duration
The duration of exam retake sessions is three hours. The exam begins when the supervisor gives permission to open the exam envelopes. Students who arrive late will be admitted in the first 30 minutes of the exam.
The supervisor will specify the end time of the exam. You are not allowed to leave the exam room in the first 30 minutes of the exam.
The supervisors will give practical advice at the start of the exam session (e.g. bathroom breaks).
4. Assessment
Once the lecturer has evaluated your exam, the grade can be found on MyDiak.
Undelivered assignments
Complete and submit all pending assignments as instructed by your lecturer. If any assignments are pending 6 months after the end of the module, you should draft a plan to complete them and submit it to your study guidance counsellor. Your study guidance counsellor will approve it and add the plan in your contracts on MyDiak.
The assessment period is 1 month from the submission deadline. You should try to avoid submitting assignments late as changes to degree content and regulations may make it difficult.
