If you are sick on the day of the exam and cannot attend, you have to get a doctor's appointment on the same day in order to get a medical certificate. The medical certificate must be given to the Department of Academic Affairs as soon as you feel better.

If you are sick on your exam or if you fail your exam, your first possibility to retake it will be during the 'resits for exams' that are arranged during the following semester. Resits for exams and assessments for courses from the fall semester will be in week 8 the following year. Resits of exams and assessments for courses taught in the spring semester are in week 35 (end of August).

You have to sign up for the retake of an online exam. Please contact the Department of Academic Affairs or International Office for further explanations.
