Course re-exams

Reasons for not passing

When the exam team has registered your attempt, they will mark the reason in My Study Activities:

- 'U' means you did not submit for the exam (udeblevet/absent)
- '-3' means you did submit, but you did not go to the oral exam
- '00' means you failed and didn't meet the requirements for acceptance
- '03' means you failed and your result was unacceptable in all aspects.
- 'I' means you failed in context of pass / fail and equals '00' and '-3' on the 7-point grade scale.

Notification about your next exam attempt

Within a week or two from your exam, the exam team will send you an email with info on your next attempt

Check out Exam registration for detailed info on the content of these emails and the process.

If you did submit your project, you will only need to be aware of the new date for your oral exam. Unlike for course exams you will not need to re-submit your project.

Requirements related to project attempts

Always check the course description to see the exam form for the re-exam.

Sometimes the exam format can change and what is required and how you prepare for the exam will change.

If the course has new content you will be examed in the newest content.

Sometimes a set group exam can change into an individual exam and vice versa.

It can also happen that an oral exam becomes an exam submission instead.

Following a course again

Typically for your 3rd exam attempt you need to register for the course again.

This means you also have to follow the course again and pass if there are any mandatory activities or other requirements.

Ask the course manager if it is possible to be exempt from any activities or requirements passed the first time attending.

In some cases you can just read-up on the course by yourself, but always check with the course manager.

For Projects:

- If you do not submit for your first or second exam attempt, then you can continue on the project and submit for the next submission deadline

- There is no requirement to change anything about your problem statement or change the area of interest.

- You can also choose to change your area of interest and start a new project. Remember to update your problem statement and send it to sap@itu.dk

- If you have submitted your project, you cannot submit a new one before the oral exam

- If you fail the oral exam, you will be able to submit a new project again for your next exam attempt

For the Thesis:

For a re-exam with the same format as for the ordinary exam:

- The group can re-submit the exact same exam assignment.

- If the whole group missed the oral exam, the group can continue working on the same assignment and submit a revised version.

- The group can choose to write a completely new group exam assignment. If the group uses material from the first assignment, they need to upload it as an appendice, and reference it.
