During your studies

Most take-home exams are published and handed in through either Inspera or Canvas and the choice of administrative exam arrangement is up to the coordinating teacher. Take-home exams can sometimes be anonymous and other times not.

To make sure that you do not miss any vital information concerning examinations it is of utmost importance that you have access to the learning platform Canvas and that you keep yourself updated and informed through the correct course site.

Canvas

In order to participate in sit-in examinations, every student must sign-up through Ladok for both regular- and re-take examinations. Every exam sign-up opens 1 month before the exam and closes determinately 14 days before the exam. We accept no latecomers!

Special deadlines may apply around public holidays, and in such cases, we will provide information on the department’s website and in Canvas.

Grades should be published in Ladok within 3 weeks/15 business days after the final examination for the course in question.

Ladok for students

An obtained grade cannot be appealed according to the Higher Education Ordinance. However, a student has the right to have the result in question corrected or to get a reconsideration, if an obvious mistake has been made during the grading process.

The Academic Writing Service is the English-language service offered by Studie- och språkverkstaden (The Language and Study Centre).

We provide study skills and academic writing support for all students at Stockholm University. Our mission is to make it possible for as many students as possible to complete their studies independently and achieve good results, regardless of their background or circumstances. We are active in developing our pedagogical approaches, which all have the student placed firmly at their centre.

About the Academic Writing Service

Each course at the Department of Psychology has a Canvas site and you become a member just by registering on the course. All course specific information is communicated within Canvas. You will find the course syllabus, schedule, handouts and various learning activities in Canvas, and you can send messages to your teachers and fellow students.

As a complement to the full website you might also want to get the mobile app Canvas by Instructure.

Handouts

It is the department policy that handouts is published in Canvas, and will not be copied on paper. If you need to print it out for yourself, you may do so at your own expense, but please think about the environmental impact before doing so.
