If a student becomes acutely ill or that unforeseen problems have arisen, it is possible to apply for accommodation for the examination even if the deadline for applying has expired. The medical certificate must confirm that the illness has arisen after the application deadline has expired, or that there has been a worsening of a chronic illness.
If you become acutely ill during the home exam, you can be given extra time. This is regulated by Section 25 of the regulations for studies and examinations at UiT.
For home examinations, additional examination days may be granted in special circumstances if the student documents unforeseen problems of a medical nature, bereavement in the immediate family or other similar misfortunate circumstances that have occurred during the examination period. When the stipulated examination time is more than two weeks, the submission deadline can normally be extended by up to two days. If the stipulated examination time in of a shorter duration, the submission deadline can normally be extended by one day. Students who still do not manage to complete the examination despite the extra time have the right to a re-scheduled examination.
