A course or study component always concludes with one or more exams. An exam may be an assessment, a paper or an oral exam and always falls within an exam period. If you wish to sit an exam, you will need to be registered for it.
First exam
In most cases, you will automatically be registered for the first exam when you register for a course. Always check to see whether you are correctly registered well before the exam registration deadline.
Resits
If you need to take a resit, you will need to register yourself for this opportunity via OSIRIS.
Go to OSIRIS
Please use the Exam Registration manual to register for exams and resits.
Once you have successfully registered in Osiris, you will receive a confirmation email about this. Save this confirmation; it is proof of your registration. If you have not received a confirmation, please contact the Student Information Desk at your faculty.
Please note: If you register for a Master’s course and you have not yet completed your Bachelor’s programme or pre-Master’s programme of study, you will not automatically be registered for the first exam opportunity due to the Hard Cut. You will need to register yourself once you have passed your Bachelor’s exam and you have actually become a Master’s student.
Deadlines
Each faculty has strict deadlines when it comes to exam and resit registration. You can find your exact deadlines below at the respective faculty.
It is possible to register for an exam until the fifth working day before the exam date. This essentially means that students can register for an exam right up until 11.59 pm on the day prior to the period of five working days before the date of the exam. In other words, there are always five whole working days between the registration deadline and the date of the exam. The day on which the exam is held is not included in this period of five working days.
Once the deadline has passed, registration is no longer possible.
Please note: Radboud University’s non-working days will need to be taken into account during the holidays and the Christmas period.
