An exam visit means that you take an exam for a course of your own university in an EXAM exam room of another university. The exam visit is booked in your own university’s EXAM system using your university’s login credentials.
The exam room has real-time and recorded camera surveillance. When you book an exam time in Tampere University’s or Tampere University of Applied Sciences’ exam room, you accept our rules for electronic exams and surveillance practices. During an exam visit, camera surveillance recordings are handed over to your home university if necessary.
You can check the opening hours and any exceptions for EXAM rooms in the booking calendar of the EXAM system. If there are no available exam times during your exam period, book an exam time at another university offering the exam visit service or at your home university. You can find a list of universities offering exam visits on the page Exam Visit (e-exam.fi).
Please read the instructions below. For questions related to exam visits, contact your home university’s EXAM support.
Instructions for making an exam visit reservation can be found on the page EXAM – Visit Instructions for Students (wiki.eduuni.fi).
