If an exam is lost, misplaced or similar and the university is responsible for this, students in this situation must be given the opportunity to write a new exam as soon as possible. Please contact the teacher in charge of the course and ask what applies.

Unless there are special reasons, a student has the right to have an exam or other examination corrected and graded after a maximum of 25 calendar days. This must be done at least 14 days before the re-examination.

No, it's not okay! An outline of all the examinations and compulsory teaching must be available at least five weeks before the start of the semester. A list of the main literature must also be available at that time. A final schedule must be communicated at least one week before the start of the course.

Read the syllabus! It contains things that you as a student should know, such as course objectives, how you will be examined and how your performance will be assessed. The syllabus is binding according to the Higher Education Ordinance, what it says cannot be changed during the course. Reading the syllabus is an excellent way to know your rights.

Application and response of admission to courses within the prescribed time is the responsibility of the student. Unfortunately, this means that you cannot claim a place on the course on the grounds that you would have been admitted if you had not forgotten to accept the place. Therefore, you should first and foremost make a late application for the course via admissions.se if this is possible. Another way to try to resolve your situation is to contact the institution offering the course you want to study, after you have made a late application, to explain your situation. For example, you can contact the course director or the study counsellor. Often they have a system of reserve admissions which takes place after the start of the course when they know how many students will be taking the course. They can give you better information about your chances of being accepted as a reserve.

In order for you to be exempted, there must have been special reasons why you were unable to take the credits for which you were awarded a student grant. Examples of special reasons are that you or a close relative has been ill or a close relative has died, that you have a disability which means that your studies take longer or that you have had difficulty completing your studies because of serious shortcomings at school. It is a good idea to attach documentation to your application for exemption to prove the special reasons you are citing. Dropping out of education because you got a job is not typically a special reason for waiving the credit requirement.

When you fall ill, you can keep your student grant. You must report your illness to Försäkringskassan on the first day of illness, and after the eighth day a medical certificate is required. For 30 days, the study grant is paid as usual, but without any credit requirements. From day 31 onwards, the repayment requirement disappears. Do not deregister from the course you intend to take or have started taking. If you deregister, you will no longer be regarded as a student, and you will no longer be able to receive student finance from CSN while you are ill. Regardless of whether you are sick or not, you cannot receive compensation during the summer.

As long as you actually study to the extent that you have indicated in your application, i.e. do not deregister from the course and complete all the compulsory modules, you will not receive a refund for not passing the course. However, you will not be able to receive any more funding until you have passed at least 75% of the marks in the courses for which you have applied for funding, or 62.5% if you are taking your first or second semester.

A student who is caught using unauthorized aids or who otherwise attempts to mislead during an examination may be reported for suspicion of cheating or plagiarism. The report is usually written by the director of studies for the student's department and is then sent to the Disciplinary Board at Uppsala University.

As a student, you have the right to write a statement to the Disciplinary Board, and to make a further statement at the Board's meeting. The Board can acquit or convict. Either a warning is given, which means that you can continue studying as usual. However, you will most likely have to retake the examination. The second action that can be taken is suspension. This means that you are not allowed to participate in classes, exams or other activities related to your studies at the university for a certain period of time. The most common duration of a suspension is between 2-6 weeks but can last up to 6 months.

A suspension also means that the institution notifies CSN of the period of suspension, as the student is not considered a student during the suspension and is therefore not entitled to receive student finance. However, it is up to CSN how they choose to act, the university only has the obligation to inform about the suspension. A suspension decision from the Disciplinary Board usually takes effect immediately. It is possible to appeal the Board's decision in the Administrative Court if the student believes it is incorrect.

If you are reported for suspected cheating or plagiarism, you are welcome to contact the student and doctoral student representative who can assist with help and advice when writing your statement and, if time permits, also accompany you to the Disciplinary Board meeting.

There is no general rule that says you can't change the form of examination. However, if the syllabus says something about the form of the examination, this should also apply to the re-examination. An omtenta may never be more difficult or easier than the regular exam.

No, if all you have left in the course are non-teaching examinations, including exams and assignments, you do not need to re-register for the course. What you need to do is to check the exam or assignment date and then do the exam parts. Please note that you may need to give advance notice that you intend to write an exam or submit a writing assignment.

Well, there is no upper limit to how many times you can rewrite your exam. However, the number of times you have to take an exam to pass must not be limited to less than five. This is regulated in the Higher Education Ordinance. You are therefore entitled to a minimum of five exams in order to pass.

You cannot appeal against a grade, but you can request a review. A re-examination takes place if new circumstances have arisen or if the grade is clearly incorrect. A re-examination can never lead to the grade being lowered. If, after the re-examination, you still feel that the examination was not carried out correctly, you can appeal to the university's grading officers. They can make recommendations to the examiner if they feel that something in the examination process went wrong, but it is still the examiner who ultimately decides the grade.

If you have failed two examinations, you have the right to have another examiner appointed. If there are special reasons for not being able to offer another examiner, you have the right to another form of examination.

If there are special reasons, a student should be given the opportunity to change supervisors during the degree project. The change must be requested from the department.

There is no absolute right to continued tutoring once the course is over. However, sometimes tutors help students who have been delayed, whether or not there is a formal right to do so. All departments and courses should have rules on what applies to tutoring. Contact your department and ask to read the rules that apply there.

If the internship is unpaid and compulsory in the curriculum, you as a student should not pay more than 25% of the additional costs resulting from it. The department must therefore contribute 75% of the travel costs. However, this presupposes that you choose the cheapest possible travel option.

Most courses that include a traineeship have rules that allow those with medical or other special reasons to have a traineeship that allows the traineeship to run as smoothly as possible. The important thing is to get in touch in good time and clearly state the reasons why you are entitled to a particular traineeship. If you suddenly fall ill or have an accident during your traineeship and are unable to complete it, you have the right to do the traineeship at a later date.

The rule is that classes and exams should be held on weekdays between 08.00 and 17.00 unless there are special reasons or the syllabus specifies other times, for example evening classes. In the first instance, you should contact the course coordinator for your course, and if your concerns are not addressed, you can contact the support officer.

There are no rules on how much of the teaching can be compulsory. However, the syllabus must state what is compulsory in a particular course. The total number of hours of full-time study should not exceed 40 hours per week, including both teaching and independent study. If the pace of study is less than full-time for the course you are studying (i.e. third or part-time), the number of hours of study per week will be fewer. The best advice here is to try to have a dialogue with the teachers about what will be a reasonable arrangement. There should always be a reason and a justification for why a particular module is compulsory.

Of course, a teacher should behave properly and not be rude. The ombudsman can help you talk to the examiner and his/her superiors to apologize and prevent it from happening again.

Yes, there is! The Discrimination Act states that higher education institutions must, within the framework of their activities, actively promote equal rights for students and applicants regardless of, for example, disability. If your literacy difficulties are of a permanent nature, this counts as a disability within the meaning of the Discrimination Act, which gives you a right to the educational and other support measures necessary to make teaching accessible to you. One suggestion is to get in touch with your department's study counsellor or the university's coordinator for students with disabilities to talk about the barriers you face in your study environment and what can be done about them. When meeting with the coordinators, you will be required to bring some form of documentation of your disability.

Yes, according to the Higher Education Ordinance, a higher education institution must ensure that you, as a student, are insured for personal injury when the injury has occurred as a result of an accident in connection with higher education in Sweden. You have personal injury insurance through Kammarkollegiet during school hours and to and from university.

If you need support in contacting your institution to explain your situation and, if possible, come up with an individual solution that can make your studies easier, you are welcome to contact the representative for help with this. It can also be good if you can talk to someone about the stress and performance anxiety you experience in student life. The Student Health Service has psychologists and counsellors who all specialize in study-related issues. During their regular opening hours, you can call the reception on 018-471 69 00 to book an appointment.

Uppsala University has a parental policy that states that working and study conditions should be such that parents can take full responsibility for home and children without this interfering with their studies. Departments should make it as easy as possible for students who have children by having good scheduling procedures, so that you as a student can plan the form and time of childcare in good time. To some extent, more individualised arrangements should also be offered, for example when you need to stay at home temporarily to care for a sick child. It may also be useful to contact the institution where you plan to study to discuss your particular situation.

Talking to the counsellors is always a good start. Other people who can be contacted in this matter are the programme director and the director of studies. Decisions on credit transfer can also be appealed to the Higher Education Appeals Board.
