Re-sit exams

Re-sit examination may be changed to oral exam if the course description says so. You can decide to change to oral exam when we know how many students have signed up for the re-sit. If you want to change to oral examination, we will have to inform the examination office before July 20th. We will also have to inform registered students as soon as the decision is made. Please, contact examination coordinator at EPT.

Grading: Who can be examiners?

Every semester we will set up a “grading team” for our exams. For courses with very few students, the course responsible may be the only grader.

An external examiner should not have been employed in a main position or auxiliary position at NTNU or not have been as a part time teacher, in the course during the semester. An external examiner should not have been employed at NTNU in the past year (also part time). We are not allowed to use scientific staff employed at Campus Ålesund and Gjøvik as external graders, onlyas internal. We are not allowed to use student assistants as examiners.

Relevant law text (in Norwegian): *Forskrift om studier ved Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet (NTNU) - Lovdata, se § 5,11*

• For written school exams: internal examiner (s) are required, but you are allowed to use external. However, within every 3rd year all courses must have an external examiner in addition to an internal.
