Exam at your workplace

If you are going to write the exam at your workplace, please copy the following text and hand it over to your superior when you ask for their permission to take the exam at your workplace.

Somali can only be studied at three universities in the European Union. Therefore University of Gothenburg offers net-based distance courses for all citizens of the EU and EEA. In order to arrange exams without students having to travel to Gothenburg, we offer some possibilities to take the exams in a place close to the student's home. One possibility is to take the exam at the workplace, if it is a public institution. In that case someone with a superior position has to be in charge of the exam and guarantee that the exam is handled according to our instructions. That person does not have to survey the exam in person, but may entrust the surveillance to somebody else. The contact with University of Gothenburg must however go through somebody in a superior position.

The teacher in charge of the exam will deliver the exam to the person in charge on the day before the exam. It will be delivered by e-mail as a pdf which then has to be printed on paper. The first page contains all the necessary information about the maximum time for the exam and any books or other materials that are allowed during the exam. The exam can be taken at any time during the day. Computers, mobile phones or other electronic devices are never allowed, and the student should leave all such devices, including their phone, in another room. If that is the case, the student doesn't have to be surveyed throughout the exam, and checking on the student now and then is enough. All answers have to be written on the question form which always has to be handed in to the person in charge of the exam, even if the student chooses not to go through with the exam.

Afterwards, please scan and mail the exam to the teacher at University of Gothenburg. Keep the original until the teacher confirms that the exam has been received. It is also possible to send the exam by ordinary post, but in that case a copy should be kept until the teacher has confirmed that the exam has been received. A copy of the exam may however never be handed over to the student, since different students take the exam on different days during the exam week. All students will receive a scanned copy of their exam once all exam has been reviewed and graded.
