Sisu registration guiding, in different ways

In the academic year 2023–2024, registration for exams arranged during the autumn term began on 1 August 2023 and for exams over the spring term on 1 December 2023.

Registration for an exam closes a week before the exam date. You can cancel your registration two workdays prior to the exam. If you do not cancel your registration, it counts as a taken exam.

Cancellation of registration

If you are registered to the exam, but you cannot attend, please remember to remove your registration from sisu, you can do this until 2 workdays before the exam. Removing an registration is important because in other cases it is counted as one attempt out of tree. If you get acutely ill, after the date on removing the registration is over, and you want no to use one of tree attempts, please send the certificate from a nurse/doctor by protected email to opinto@lut.fi. This can be done also after the exam.

Three exam attempts

You can take an exam three times during a study period. This applies to all exams, irrespective of the way they are arranged.

If you fail to pass the exam on the third attempt, (attempts of exams is not turned no null by enrolling to a new years version of the course) you may apply for another retake from the teacher via a form for applying for an additional retake

Raising approved grades

You have the right to try to raise your grade for the exam once during the three general exam days held during the study period, if it is possible to raise the grade for the course as a whole through the exam. Courses completed at LUT cannot be raised by credits transferred from prior studies.

The limit of three exam attempts pertains to courses arranged from 2021–2022 onwards. Mid-term exam results cannot be raised.
