Are you about to take an exam in the exam hall? On this page you will find information on what you need to know before the exam day, how you prepare for an e-exam in the DISA system in the exam hall and what happens on the exam day.
This information applies to all exams that are conducted in the exam hall, regardless of whether it is an e-examination in DISA or paper based.
Please note that social distancing is required, this applies to both fellow students and personnel. If you have any symptoms, you must stay at home.
Routines and procedures are in place in the exam hall to prevent the spread of infection.
As a student, you are responsible for complying with the rules that apply for written examinations at the University of Gothenburg.
The examination hall opens 45 minutes before the stipulated start time. Because ID checks are carried out at the entrance to the exam hall, it is important that you are on time.
The examination hall closes after the stipulated start time. If you arrive at the examination hall after this time you have forfeited your right to attend the examination session.
You must be able to prove your identity by producing a valid photo ID. The invigilator must be able to see your face for positive identification.
Please note that the GU Card and the Residence permit card from the Swedish Migration Agency are not valid forms of identification at an examination.
It is important that it is quiet and calm in the examination hall so that all students can complete their examinations undisturbed. Here are the rules for order in the examination hall:
In addition to these rules, we kindly ask you to avoid perfume and strong scents when taking an exam in the exam hall. The reason for this is that there might be fellow students or personnel who are hypersensitive.
For university-wide examination halls, you can leave the examination hall after 45 minutes.
If you have an acute need to leave the examination hall, you need to alert the invigilator from your seat and leave your seat after you have received instructions about how this should be done, in order to uphold procedures in the examination hall.
Ensure that your PC or Mac has a supported version of the operating system and that your web browser is supported.

Unfortunately you are not able to use your Chromebook for e-exams in the DISA system in the exam halls. If you have a Chromebook, you are welcome to book a loan computer to take your DISA exam in the exam halls.
Ensure that your computer can connect to the wireless network eduroam. Since August 2020 you need to install an updated certificate in order to connect to eduroam – if you have already installed this, no further action is required.
If you have not downloaded and installed the updated certificate, or if you have never connected to eduroam at all, you need to download and install the certificate: Wifi: eduroam.
The lockdown browser starts when you open the exam and it puts your computer in a kiosk mode and all you can do on your computer is to write your exam. Once you submit the exam and exit the lockdown browser, your computer will have full functionality again.
For PC or Mac: Download and install Safe Exam Browser (SEB). Please note you will not need to configure SEB – this is done automatically once you open the exam on the exam day.
We recommend that you download the latest version of SEB for your operating system. You can find information about the approved versions and a download link for SEB at the following link:

If you lack a compatible computer you can book a computer to borrow. A booking is confirmed directly on screen. No automated emails to confirm or remind are sent. The University cannot book a computer on your behalf.
The booking must be done no later than five working days prior to the digital exam. No late bookings are accepted. If you have booked a computer to borrow, you will collect it at the computer support desk in the exam hall.
Safe Exam Browser is installed on the University of Gothenburg's computers. You will need the credentials for your student account to connect to eduroam and to logon to the DISA system. Please make sure that you either know your credentials or bring them to the exam hall.
These instructions are also available in the exam hall.
Start by connecting to the wireless network eduroam. Then follow these steps:
Your text is auto saved every 15 seconds. If your computer was to malfunction during the exam there are spare computers on which the exam will be made available for you to continue. You do not need to book a computer to borrow “just in case”.
When you are ready to submit, please bring your computer and ID-card to the invigilator’s desk. The invigilator again verifies your identity and you may submit. Please make sure you exit the lockdown browser after submission.
When the exam is marked and graded, you find the grade in Ladok. In DISA you access the exam with questions and your answers, marks per question and also any feedback provided by the graders.
Log on to DISA and click on Archive: Login to DISA (external page). You can log in using a computer, tablet or smartphone.
When you have downloaded your exam as PDF file and reviewed the feedback, you can remove the submission from DISA by clicking Remove submission. Please note that this is irreversible and the submission cannot be recovered.
Please contact your department for questions regarding written examinations.
An e-examination, or a DISA exam, is an exam written and graded in a web-based system. At the University of Gothenburg, the system goes by the name DISA.
