Before the exam
You should make sure well in advance that you are registered for the exam. You do this on SDU Student Self-Service.
For some types of written take-home assignments, an exam assignment is set – usually in the Digital Exam system or itslearning. At the start of the exam, you can download the exam assignment.
If you have problems downloading, contact the exam administrator as soon as possible. Contact information is available under the exam in question in the Digital Exam system or on itslearning.
Submission
Written take-home assignments are submitted in the Digital Exam system or on itslearning. If the exam paper has been prepared in a group, only one person from the group has to submit the exam paper, unless otherwise stated in the course description. If you submit as a group, it must be clear from the paper who has prepared each part of the assignment, so that individual assessments can be given. However, this does not apply to exam papers that will be defended orally.
The paper must be submitted no later than the submission deadline when the exam ends. You can only submit one file, unless otherwise specified. The exam paper must be submitted in PDF format, unless otherwise specified. Find out more about the requirements for your specific exam in the course description and/or on itslearning.
If you have problems submitting in the Digital Exam system, you must contact the exam administrator as soon as possible. Contact information is available under the exam in question in the Digital Exam system.
Your assessment is available in the SDU Student Self-Service no later than four weeks after the submission deadline. The month of July is not included.
