NB.

• Always indicate the date and course code(s) in the heading. If there are more than two course codes, you can enter them in the field Information to the administrators. That way, all registered students can be pulled from Ladok and Exam Services will not risk missing anyone.
• Always indicate one or two alternative exam dates. At busy times such as the end of a semester, several people may request the same date.
• ALNARP: All exam-related information such as what aids are allowed, when a teacher will be present in the room, and the phone number of the teacher responsible for the exam must be listed in the field Information to the administrators.

After the booking deadline, Exam Services will compile all requests and make preliminary bookings of exam halls.

They will then email a booking confirmation to all requesters through SLU:s central room booking. Make sure to check your booking in TE Exam to ensure that all information is correct.

Using the Ladok anonymisation codes for exams has several advantages. The printed codes are easy to read for invigilators and course administrators/course coordinators. Ladok codes are also a requirement if you want to use Inspera for e-exams.   

However, you may not want to or be able to use the Ladok anonymisation codes. If that is the case, Exam Services can help generate similar anonymisation codes and randomly assign them to students, on paper, at the exam. It will only be possible to link a student to a code through the code list the student signs when they hand in their exam paper. If you want help generating such codes, indicate this in your request and in the field for exam information.

When your exam date has been confirmed, you need to create an activity session in Ladok. Make sure to choose the right type of exam, e.g. whether the exam is a resit or not.

When you create the activity session in Ladok, you must add information on alternative exam arrangements, as well as a link to apply for such support. The link can be used by students who have been granted targeted study support; they need to submit an application which Exam Services will then process. You will find the link and further instructions in Annex 2: Create an application for alternative exam arrangements.

Registering for exams is compulsory for all SLU students. The activity session deadline in Ladok must be 10 weekdays before the exam date. Once registration has closed, no more students can be added. For exams close to the start of a semester, email Exam Services: tentamen@slu.se and tentamen.alnarp@slu.se respectively.

As room bookings are only preliminary as long as planning is not finalised, the recommendation is to avoid giving room details in the application. Instead, write e.g. “Location: Ultuna, room information will be available in TE Student at least 5 days before the exam”.  You can also add a link to TE Student. Login page to TE Student for students.

Approximately 5 weekdays before the exam date, the booking of the room displayed in TE Exam/TE Student/TE Viewer is finalised. If there are any last-minute changes, Exam Services will contact you.

Administrators/course coordinators can also subscribe to the Viewer schedule, which means you will see the schedule for the entire course. You start subscribing by clicking “Subscribe” in the top right corner of the screen.

Two or more rooms may be booked for an exam to ensure that it will take all students, or several smaller rooms may be booked if students have applied for targeted study support for the exam. In those cases, Exam Services will divide the students into groups for each room. Information about this will be displayed under the heading Place info in the course schedule. Students will also be able to see what room they should sit the exam in by logging on to their page in TE Student. Students who have been granted targeted study support will also be able to see what kind of support they have been granted for this particular exam. Manual TE Student Step-by-step.
