Kuvituskuva tietokoneella

Lead paragraph

Students with a valid study right at the Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences can book and take electronic exams that are related to courses they are completing.

Before entering the exam room your identity is verified.

You leave your personal belongings and outer garments in a locker (see "Taking an exam") noticing that you can not take books, papers, note-making supplies, phones, smart watch or other material or devices in the exam room. If you choose not to follow these rules, it is considered as violation of Exam rules and if known before the exam, a valid reason not to let you enter the Exam room.  Violation of Exam rules results failing Exam. This applies also for talking with other students during exam and leaving Exam room even if for few minutes during exam.

If teachers decide to have an 'open book' exam, they should rather arrange the exam in another classroom or in Moodle.

Read exam instructions carefully before the exam and prepare to follow them during the exam.

Exam facilities have recording video surveillance. If you do not follow exam instructions you fail your exam.

Your teachers can give you more information about electronic examinations at Haaga-Helia. You can also contact helpdesk@haaga-helia.fi.
