As a new engineering student, you must pass the compulsory study start test to be able to continue your studies. The study start test must be completed at the start of the semester and you have two attempts to pass the test.
The study start test consists of completion of the e-learning course How to Uni. While the primary objective of the test is to determine whether you have started your studies at SDU, the purpose of How to Uni is to help you get a good start at your studies.
In How to Uni, you will learn the answers to:
- What kind of place is SDU?
- What do your teachers expect from you?
- How can you get a good start to your life as a university student?
- Which IT systems will you need as a student at SDU?
- Which rules do you need to be aware of?
If you do not complete the course within the stipulated deadline, you will have a second attempt (reexamination). The reexamination also consists of completion of How to Uni.
If you do not pass the reexamination, your enrolment will be annulled. Please note that once you have been disenrolled due to a failed study start test, you cannot be re-enrolled on the same study programme later on, unless the university considers that your prerequisites for completing the programme have improved considerably.
How to pass the Study Start Test
- To pass the exam you must complete How to Uni no later than 4 September 2024, at 23.59. It is possible to complete the test more than once.
