How to get your support during the examination
On this website, you can read about what is required for you to be able to access your support for examinations such as exams and checklists. As a student, you are responsible for reviewing which routines apply to each support. It is therefore important that you read this page carefully and stay updated as certain routines may be updated during the semester.
Routines for gaining access to support during examinations
Different routines apply to different types of support. Regardless of the routine, you always need to have a valid certificate in Nais (The Swedish Council for Higher Education, UHR) . If your certificate in Nais is issued before 2020, there might be information that is out-of-date in your certificate. There is always up to date information on this website that applies to your support. Please, contact Funka if you have any questions regarding your supports or if your certificate in Nais has expired.
There are three different routines for the supports:
- Support that only requires that you register in time for your examination
- Support that requires several different measures
- -Support with special handling
Registration for the examination is required for all support
Common to all compensatory support is that it is required that the student has registered in time for the examination. Please note that there is no possibility of drop in or late registration for examinations with support.

The learning outcomes of the course always need to be achieved to pass the course.
