Exam adaptions - You need a valid Nais certificate
In order for you to be granted an adjusted examination you must have a valid Nais-certificate. If you do not have a valid certificate 10 workdays before the exam period Chalmers is unable to grant you an adjusted examination. If possible you should apply for a certificate before the start of term as the Funka-office are very busy at the beginning of each term.
Register and apply in Nais
First you have to register and apply in Nais
Those who have a valid Nais certificate with approved exam adaptation do not have to make a separate application for an adapted exam to the exam administration/examiner during standard exams, except for home exams and duggor – see “Extended time and adjustments during written exams” for further details.
- You are responsible for ensuring that your Nais certificate is valid.
- Login to www.nais.uhr.se and see which date applies to the Nais certificate.
- If the certificate has an expiration date that is close in time, send an e-mail to funka@chalmers.se.
- If the certificate has expired, an application must be made again.
- Should parts of the granted support not be used on the exam, notify tentamen.stodet@chalmers.se
- You must be registered for the exams in Ladok.

Your Nais certificate and approved adjustments will not be visible in Ladok, but the exam administration have access to this information.
You will receive an e-mail ca. 4 days before the exam, specifying the location and when you need to be there. Tell your examiner where you will be sitting. When you arrive the exam guards will be aware of what adjustments and aids you need and will assist you.

Extended time and adjustments during written exams
Students with special needs may be granted an adjusted examination. We strive to accommodate everyone and find the best possible adjustment. A student can be granted 50% extended time, Text-to-speech software or other aids in the course or exam situation.
- Students who are granted extended exam time and have a valid Nais certificate do not have to apply separately in advance. These students will automatically be given extended time when they sign up for hall exams and remote examinations via Zoom.
- The Nais certificate does not include home exams or dugga. The student must contact the examiner in advance to request any possible adjustments.
- The student should contact the examiner no later than 10 days before the home exam/dugga. The student must be able to show a valid Nais certificate.
