Re-sit exams

A re-sit exam is arranged in August (unless otherwise specified in the course description) in all courses with a final exam if at least one student has registered for the exam.

A student may register for a re-sit exam if:

  • he/she has failed the exam in the course in the same academic year,
  • he/she attended the exam and submitted blank/withdrew during the exam in the same academic year, or if
  • he/she has a legitimate absence for the exam in the same academic year.

Below, the administration refers to Liv Karen Stubberud and Mona Nordaune for courses given by IIK in Trondheim, and the examination office for courses given by IIK in Gjøvik.

How-to (for course coordinators)

Use Fagpersonweb. Search for course and select the correct term from the drop-down menu (Summer <YEAR>).

Use the dedicated form on NTNU Hjelp. For courses given by IIK in Trondheim, please also inform the administration once the change has been approved.

To be allowed to change the examination form to oral exam, there must be a sentence in the course description under 'Further on evaluation' specifying that the examination form may be changed to oral exam if there is a re-sit exam.

The exam date and time are published on the course webpage https://www.ntnu.edu/studies/courses/<COURSECODE>#tab=omEksamen (replace <COURSECODE> by the actual code of the course) by the central administration on July 15. Note that you need to select the relevant study year from the drop-down menu. The exam date and time are also available on TP (select '<YEAR>' Summer' from the drop-down menu; replace '<YEAR>' by the actual calendar year).

For oral exams (for course coordinators)

Inform the students directly about the details of the exam.

You may send them an e-mail directly in Fagpersonweb or export the list of students to Excel from Fagpersonweb and send them an e-mail using your preferred e-mail client. You may also post relevant information on Blackboard, only remember to select the right course room (semester).

You may agree with the students registered for the exam on another date during week 32 or 33 than the one published on the course webpage, but you must have a written confirmation from all the students that the new date is suitable to change the date.

Inform the examination office (Trondheim/Gjøvik) if…
  • all the students have agreed on a new date for the exam, so the date is formally changed and updated on the course webpage and on Studentweb.
Inform the administration if…
  • the exam will be arranged at another date than the one published on the course webpage,
  • you need to book rooms for the exam, and/or if
  • you need invigilators to watch the students waiting and/or preparing for the exam.
