Do you have a digital or paper assessment on campus soon? If so, go through the general checklist below and find out what to consider when taking a specific assessment. This will help you go to your assessment well prepared.
Practical preparation for your assessment
General checklist
- Check your assessment registration in OSIRIS. You can register up to five working days before the day of your assessment. Do you think something is not in order? Then please contact your faculty's STIP.
- Make sure you can identify yourself with a valid identity document (passport, identity card, driving licence or residence permit). A copy, expired identity document or campus card do not count as valid identity documents.
- Has your identity document expired, been lost or stolen? Report this to your faculty's STIP at least 1 working day before your assessment. If you show a police report or appointment at the municipality to an employee of the STIP helpdesk, they will provide you with proof so you can still participate in the assessment.
- Are you making use of a student-related provision such as extra time or a smaller examination room? Then please check well in advance whether your provision has been linked to your assessment registration correctly in OSIRIS. Is your provision not linked correctly? If so, contact your student advisor in time via email or your faculty's STIP.
- Check which tools you are allowed to bring to your assessment, such as a dictionary or law book. Your examiner will inform you about this via Brightspace or email.
- Read the fraud regulations of your faculty. These apply while taking an assessment and can be found in the OER of your programme.
- Make sure you are familiar with the house rules for taking assessments at Radboud University. Here you can read which rules you have to follow and what you may and may not bring along to an assessment. Not adhering to these rules may result in you being denied access to the examination room.
Specific checklists
In addition to the general checklist that applies to all assessments, there are specific things to watch out for when taking a paper or digital assessment. Check the checklist relevant to you below.
- Bring your campus card if you wish to use the lockers in the Comenius building.
- Memorise your student number and password. You are not allowed to use your phone during the assessment, so you cannot access passwords that you have stored on your phone. Without a password, you can not take part in the assessment. Make sure to reset your password well on time if you have forgotten it.
- Check your seat number in your personal timetable.
- Be aware of how taking a digital assessment works. Most digital assessments take place in the Comenius building, but you may also have to take a digital assessment in the sports halls.
- If you are making use of a student-related provision and have to take a digital assessment in one of the halls, then, depending on your faculty, you will receive the assessment location via your personal timetable, via email or via Brightspace one week before the assessment.
- Most digital assessments are taken with the help of the assessment software Ans. Learn more about what to expect of the digital assessment environment.
- Check the assessment location in your personal timetable. Find your table number on the list of candidates outside the hall. Is there no list? Then take place in the hall as instructed by the invigilator.
- If you are making use of a student-related provision, then, depending on your faculty, you will receive the assessment location via your personal timetable, via email or via Brightspace one week before the assessment.
