Examination rooms at the university

Examination rooms are located in the A building floor 3. The most usual rooms are A303, A304, A305 and A306. When necessary, other rooms or even buildings can be used. There will be a list with the examinations available at the entrance of A building and on the third floor the day of the examination. This list shows the examinations and what rooms they are held in. 

For some courses, the examination can be split into multiple rooms. In that case, the list will provide names of the students who should be in what room. As previously stated, these lists will only be available during the day of the examination. For the rest of the examinations, the list provides course, level and possible credit, followed by the room and time in which the exam takes place. The publication of these lists can not happen earlier because of possible changes.

Morning and afternoon occasions

Examinations are divided into two occasions per day, Monday through Saturday. The first occasion starts 8:15 AM and the other occasion starts 2:15 PM. Information about the room for the afternoon occasion are put up some time during the morning.

Please note that any student taking an exam has to be in the examination room on time. We always have an extra admission for the exam at 09:00 or 15:00. On Saturdays, late admission is 10:00. Re-exams mainly occur during weekends during the semester. Be aware that there can be exceptions for this.
