Examination facilities

Last updated on 18 December 2024
Read all about the facility room/private room here: sign in, sign out, location, and rules.

Attention: adjusted deadlines!

Because there are a number of (re)examinations right after the Christmas vacations and the deadline for these falls exactly in the vacations, the application deadline of 14 days has been adjusted. Registration for exams between January 6 and 10 can be done until Thursday, December 19 at the latest.

The facilities room is a low-pressure room* for students with an assigned facility. Here you can take exams in a quiet environment together with up to 14 other students. All faculty participate except ACTA. The rooms are located in the 1G wing of the Main Building. Walk on the first floor toward the 6 elevators, turn right past the elevators, then take the stairs or elevator to the second floor.

*Please note: The hall is stimulus-free, but not completely stimulus-free.

The hall is only accessible to students with the following assigned facilities:

  • Stimulus-free room during exams: You will take all your exams in the facilities room.
  • Digital exam: You take written exams digitally in the facilities room.

Signing In and Signing Out.

Registration for the facilities room is mandatory. You have to sign in separately for each (sub)test , for example for a course with 4 subtests you have to fill in 4 requests. If you did not register (on time), you will not be expected in the facilities room and no exam will be prepared for you. You will be referred to the regular exam location. Here your facilities are not guaranteed and if there is no available space you will not be able to participate until the next exam opportunity.

  • Sign up: Sign up at least 14 days before the exam or retake using the form (GNK students use this form). Example: For an exam on Thursday, Oct. 26, you can sign up until 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 11.
  • Signing out: If you are not going to take the exam, please sign out using the same form you used to sign in. Many arrangements are being made to facilitate the exam including your facilities. By canceling on time, you help us organize education in a more sustainable way.

Confirmation: You will receive a confirmation of your registration no later than 5 working days before the exam (exception: BETA). Did you not receive this? Contact the Education Office and mention your Topdesk application number.

Check your registration: Check in the registration module if you are registered for the (re)exam.
