Examinations, Summer 2012
Each semester you need to be enrolled for your examinations. Enrolment for winter examinations takes place in September and enrolment for summer examinations in February. If you are not registered for examinations within enrolment week, you are not allowed to participate in examinations, and you will not get the credits your home university probably requires. All students are personally responsible for their examination enrolment.
As an international student you can take your examinations in Danish, English or in one of the Scandinavian languages. However, to take an examination in a language other than Danish may require an exemption from the Study Board of the department where you are studying and want to take examinations. In this case you have to apply and obtain the exemption prior to enrolment week and the exemption must be forwarded to the examination administration when signing up for examinations.
