The right to study ends automatically when you have completed your studies. It can be extended for another consecutive year for students who wish to improve grades or take additional courses, cf. regulations on study programs, and exams at UiA §17.
If approved by the Faculty/ Teacher education unit, you can improve grades after the first year of completing your studies. This includes courses that are not offered as single courses.
After completing the study, registration for courses is done by sending an e-mail to eksamen@uia.no, by the registration deadline of February 1. / September 1. Please also remember to pay the semester fee within the same deadline.
How many exam attempts do I have?
A candidate may not sit for an examination in the same subject more than 3 times (subjects with equivalent academic content are considered the same subject). This applies even if you have been re-admitted to the program. In special cases, a dispensation may be granted for a fourth examination attempt. If you retake the exam, the best grade will remain, cf. Regulations of study programs and exams at UiA §19.
Please note that if you sit for the ordinary examination again, the syllabus and the form of assessment determined for that semester apply.
If a course expires, any remaining exam attempts in the course will lapse after the "phasing-out exams" (extraordinary exams) have been arranged.
New/ postponed examinations
To be eligible to sit a new/postponed examination in a subject, you must have attended the last ordinary examination, or have been granted a valid absence.
All postponed exams will mainly be held with the same form of assessment as the last ordinary exam. there can be exceptions due to practical or professional reasons.
This information is available on StudentWeb.
