Examination modes

A student who has passed an examination may not take the same examination again with the aim of achieving a higher grade. A student who has failed a course or part of a course twice, has the right to make a written request to have another examiner appointed, unless special reasons speak against it (HF Chapter 6, Section 22). Requests for a different examiner are to be made to the Head of the Department of Chemistry.

Other regulations

**Adapted examination: **For students who have a recommendation of support for students with disabilities the examiner may decide on individual adaption of examination modes set out in the course syllabus. Individual adaption of examination modes must always be considered based on the student's specific needs and the framework of the intended learning outcomes in the course syllabus. For more information, see Procedure for support for students with disabilities and Rules for grades and examination.

Students who require an adapted examination, and who have received a decision on their right to support from the coordinator for students with disabilities at the Student Services Office, must request an adaptation from the department responsible for the course no later than 10 working days before the examination. The examiner decides on the adapted examination, which is then communicated to the student.

**Transfer of credits: **Applications for credit transfer are assessed on an individual basis. This course may not be included in a degree alongside another course with similar content. If in doubt, students should consult the study counsellor for the relevant course. Applications for credit transfer should be submitted to the Student Services Office/Examina. Further information on credit transfer is available on Umeå University’s student website and in the Higher Education Ordinance (Chapter 6). A rejection of an application for credit transfer may be appealed (Higher Education Ordinance, Chapter 12) to the Higher Education Appeals Board. This applies whether the entire application or parts of it are rejected.

Transitional provisions

Rules for grades and examination govern what applies regarding retakes when a course has been discontinued or a syllabus has undergone major changes.
