Registration for exams

Check your registrations

When you are registered for classes, you will automatically be registered for the ordinary exam (1st exam attempt).

Always check well in advance of the exam which exams you are registered for, to make sure you are on the right lists, and keep an eye out for potential changes. You can check your exam registrations on the SDU Student Self Service pages and/or in the Digital Exam system.

You can only access the exam if you are registered for the exam, so remember to check your registrations.

Course and Exam Registration for Engineering Programmes 

Ordinary exams are typically held in January during the winter exam period, and in June during the summer examination period, though some may occur earlier.

You should register yourself for all courses and the ordinary exams on your programme on Master of Science in Engineering.  

You can register for courses and ordinary exams via SDU Student Self Service in the registration periods:  

• 20^th – 30^th November for courses and ordinary exams in the spring semester;
• 20^th – 30^th May for courses and ordinary exams in the autumn semester.

Once you have passed an exam, you cannot retake it to improve your grade.

Register for the re-exam

As a rule, you have three attempts to pass each exam.  If you have not used all your exam attempts, you can register for a re-exam.

If you wish to register for the re-exam in the same exam period as the ordinary exam, you must register for the re-exam during the exam registration period, even if you have not yet received your assessment or attended the ordinary exam.

You can see  your used exam attempts and register for the re-exam in SDU Student Self-Service pages.

Go to the SDU Student Self-Service pages.

If a course is offered for the last time, there may be mandatory and automatic registration for the re-exam.

If, due to unusual circumstances, you have used your three exam attempts without passing the exam, you can apply for an extra exam attempt.  

Reexams on Engineering Programmes 

Reexams are scheduled as follows:  

• 7^th February – 7^th March in the winter examination period, and 
• 1^st – 31^st August in the summer examination period.  

To register for a reexam, you must have been registered for the ordinary exam in the same examination period.   

Registration for reexams is voluntary. If you wish to take a reexam, you should register through  SDU Student Self Service during the following registration periods:  

• 1^st – 21^st January for reexams in the winter examination period 
• 1^st – 21^st June for reexams in the summer examination period.  

If you are registered for a reexam but pass the ordinary exam, SDU will cancel your reexam registration.  

Please be aware of the specific rules re. reexams in the Master’s Thesis.
