Student rights and guidelines

Among other things, this section pertains to the University’s responsibility for ensuring that students have access to the resources required to complete their studies. This could include, for example, libraries and study areas. The section also addresses students with a long-term disability and their rights in relation to the accessibility of premises and learning support measures.

This section addresses the rights of students to have their courses and grades entered into Ladok, as well as the student’s obligation to inform the department in the event they are not planning to complete a course or study programme.

This section clarifies how the higher education institution may timetable teaching and exams during the course as well as how that information is to be made available to students. The section also addresses when other information about courses and study programmes such as syllabi, admission requirements, selection rules and information about course literature is to be made available.

This section addresses when information about compulsory components is to be made available as well as what happens if a student through no fault of their own is unable to complete a compulsory component.

This section addresses the overall rules for assessment at Lund University, for example the right students have to resits and anonymous examinations and what happens in the event a written exam is lost. The section also clarifies the student’s personal responsibility to be informed about the consequences of cheating in examinations.

This section clarifies the general rules in conjunction with academic papers such as degree projects and independent projects. This includes the students’ right to receive supervision and teaching on methods, and who is allowed to take on the role of supervisor in conjunction with writing academic papers.

This section addresses information on planning, implementation and follow-up of course evaluations at Lund University.

This section clarifies what students can do in the event the List of Rights is not followed, including what they can do if a solution cannot be found. The section also describes how faculties can request an exemption from specific points in the List of Rights. The permitted exemptions are found below.

The Board of the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) has delegated to the faculty’s dean the power, after a briefing with the management group for first and second-cycle studies and in consultation with the students’ union Teknologkåren at LTH, to take decisions regarding requests for exemptions from four points in the List of Rights.

The chair of the Education Board decides that the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) is granted an exemption from points below in the List of Rights – Lund University Students’ Rights and Responsibilities.

The decision was made on 4 February 2021.

List of Rights 2.3: When credits and grades are available, the department has an obligation to promptly – at the latest 15 working days after the exam – document the information in the student register (Ladok). Reporting is to be carried out no later than 10 working days before a re-sit. In the case of a grade review, the student concerned is to be informed about all material of importance to the decision and be given the opportunity within a set period to make a statement about the material before the decision regarding a change is taken, in accordance with section 25 of the Administrative Procedure Act (2017:900). Changes to grades are to be carried out in accordance with chapter 6, section 23–24 of the Higher Education Ordinance. If exam results are altered, the student concerned must be informed.

LTH requests an exemption from this point according to the following:

Exam results shall normally be reported within 15 days of the exam instance. For courses with more than 200 examinees, the time limit is 22 working days. If a department/division has a total of more than 700 examinees in an exam period, the reporting shall be carried out within 30 working days. These time limits apply on an ongoing basis during the year with the exception of the reporting of pass grades for the autumn semester, which shall be reported by Monday of week 3 at the latest. This is in accordance with decision Reg. no LTH 2010/1106.

List of Rights 3.9: The University is responsible for ensuring that teaching is not timetabled on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays in the Swedish calendar or after 18:00 unless the course was advertised during the application period as an online or evening course. Teaching may be timetabled on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays in the Swedish calendar, or after 18:00, if the teaching is conducted at places that are only accessible on these days or after 18:00, such as at museums and on excursions.

and 

List of Rights 3.10: The University is responsible for ensuring that exams are not to be timetabled to end later than 19:00 on weekdays, with the exception of online or evening courses. Regular exam instances are not to be timetabled on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays in the Swedish calendar.

and 

List of Rights 5.1: The University is responsible for ensuring that for every course/module the following are organised in addition to the regular exam: 

• re-sit five to seven weeks after the regular exam and
• one further exam session for courses completed in the past academic year (catch-up exam).

However, for certain forms of examination, such as placements, the number of examination sessions may be limited to two.

LTH requests an exemption from these points according to the following:

To enable a functioning timetable including study periods, teaching may sometimes need to be conducted after 18:00 on weekdays. LTH schedules regular exam instances on weekdays as far as possible, but when this is not possible Saturdays may also be utilised. The scheduling of exam and re-sit periods determines the length of the period between exam instances. The division of the academic year is decided annually and includes these parts.

The faculty management and the students’ union at the Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts have decided to request exemptions from three points in the List of Rights.

The chair of the Education Board has decided to grant the Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts an exemption from the points below in the List of Rights – Lund University Students’ Rights and Responsibilities.

The decision was made on 24 January 2022.

List of Rights 3.5: The University is responsible for ensuring that course timetables and dates and times of exams and re-sits are available on the course or programme website and student portal where applicable at least one month before the start of the course.

The Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts requests an exemption from this point based on the following:

The Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts requests an exemption regarding course timetables for the secondary school subject teacher training programme as these schedules are individually adapted according to specialisation/subject choice/ensemble combinations. Admission to the programme is only fully completed at the end of July/beginning of August. Even in the case of admission to standalone courses, individual scheduling takes place to a certain extent, which means it cannot be guaranteed that the schedule can be made available at least one month before the start of the course.

List of Rights 3.9: The University is responsible for ensuring that teaching is not timetabled on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays in the Swedish calendar or after 18:00 unless the course was advertised during the application period as an online or evening course. Teaching may be timetabled on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays in the Swedish calendar, or after 18:00, if the teaching is conducted at places that are only accessible on these days or after 18:00, such as at museums and on excursions.

The Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts requests an exemption from this point based on the following:

For course components that take the form of public artistic sessions, there may be a need to allow these sessions to be scheduled after 18:00 and on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. This includes the preparation and execution of theatrical performances, concerts and exhibitions. Placements may also need to be scheduled after 18:00 in some cases, for example for students doing placements at a community school of art and music or students on the Church Music programme.

List of Rights 3.10: The University is responsible for ensuring that exams are not to be timetabled to end later than 19:00 on weekdays, with the exception of online or evening courses. Regular exam instances are not to be timetabled on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays in the Swedish calendar.

The Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts requests an exemption from this point based on the following:

For examinations that take the form of public artistic sessions, there may be a need to allow these sessions to be scheduled after 19:00 and on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. This includes theatrical performances, examination concerts, examination exhibitions and for students on the Church Music programme.

The Faculty Board for the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology (HT faculties) has decided to request an exemption from five points in the List of Rights. A two-year exemption has been requested for all points except point 5.4, with a planned evaluation in the autumn of 2023. Regarding point 5.4, an exemption has been requested for the academic year 2021-2022.

The chair of the Education Board has decided to grant the HT faculties an exemption from the points below in the List of Rights – Lund University Students’ Rights and Responsibilities.

The decision was made on 4 21 June 2021.

List of Rights 3.9: The University is responsible for ensuring that teaching is not timetabled on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays in the Swedish calendar or after 18:00 unless the course was advertised during the application period as an online or evening course. Teaching may be timetabled on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays in the Swedish calendar, or after 18:00, if the teaching is conducted at places that are only accessible on these days or after 18:00, such as at museums and on excursions.

The HT faculties request an exemption from this point based on the following:

Part-time courses are offered at the faculties. Many of the students on these courses are employed, and it would be considerably more difficult for the student groups in general if the exemption regarding evenings and weekends for distance and evening courses, did not also apply to part-time courses.

List of Rights 3.10: The University is responsible for ensuring that exams are not to be timetabled to end later than 19:00 on weekdays, with the exception of online or evening courses. Regular exam instances are not to be timetabled on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays in the Swedish calendar.

The HT faculties request an exemption from this point based on the following:

Exams are normally timetabled on weekdays, but for courses with large student groups, invigilated exams may need to be scheduled on Saturdays for reasons related to booking premises. There may also be occasions when it is necessary for exams to be held outside of the set parameters for students with learning support.

List of Rights 3.11: The University is responsible for ensuring that exams and compulsory components are not to be timetabled later than one week after the end of the spring semester or earlier than three weeks before the start of the autumn semester, unless the students and examiner agree on another solution. Exceptions may be made for summer courses.

The HT faculties request an exemption from this point based on the following: 

The faculties consider that point 3.11 is in conflict with point 5.1, which states that re-sit exams must take place five to seven weeks after the regular exam. For a student who has failed a regular exam at the end of the spring semester on a qualifying course for the autumn semester, the resit may need to be scheduled more than a week after the end of the spring semester if the interval specified in 5.1 (at least 5 weeks) is to be maintained.

List of Rights 5.1: The University is responsible for ensuring that for every course/module the following are organised in addition to the regular exam: 

• re-sit five to seven weeks after the regular exam and
• one further exam session for courses completed in the past academic year (catch-up exam).

The HT faculties request an exemption from this point based on the following: 

The faculties consider that it can often benefit the students if a re-sit exam takes place sooner than five weeks after the regular exam. The faculties also point out that a student who fails an exam at the end of the autumn semester on a qualifying course for the spring semester may need to be offered a re-sit exam earlier than five weeks after the regular exam.

List of Rights 5.4: The University is responsible for ensuring that the student, if the form of examination allows it, is to be anonymised in exam assessment in relation to the teaching staff member conducting the assessment. Written invigilated exams are to be anonymised. However, the examiner must have access to the names of the examinees during the grading procedure before the grading decision is taken.

The HT faculties request an exemption from this point based on the following: 

The faculties will carry out a development project during the academic year 2021–22 that aims to ensure anonymised marking is introduced for all invigilated exams and other forms of examinations where possible. As it is not currently possible to ensure that all examinations are anonymous, an exemption is requested from point 5.4 in the List of Rights for other forms of examination other than invigilated exams.

Following a consultation with the Undergraduate Education Board, the Board of the Faculty of Medicine has decided to request an exemption from six points in the List of Rights.

An exemption from point 5.8 is not required as the point in the relevant part is not binding. An exemption from point 5.9 is also not required as the faculty has stated that the person responsible for regular invigilated exams is present during parts of the exam or is otherwise available to answer questions.

The chair of the Education Board has decided to grant the Faculty of Medicine exemption from points 3.9, 3.10, 5.1, and 6.2 in the List of Rights – Lund University Students’ Rights and Responsibilities as specified below.

The decision was made on 21 June 2021.

List of Rights 3.9: The University is responsible for ensuring that teaching is not timetabled on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays in the Swedish calendar or after 18:00 unless the course was advertised during the application period as an online or evening course. Teaching may be timetabled on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays in the Swedish calendar, or after 18:00, if the teaching is conducted at places that are only accessible on these days or after 18:00, such as at museums and on excursions.

The Faculty of Medicine requests an exemption from this point based on the following:

As the times for clinical training and clinically integrated learning are determined by the healthcare service, they must be scheduled during the working hours of regular healthcare staff.

This applies to the following programmes:

• Occupational Therapy
• Physiotherapy
• Medicine
• Radiology
• Nursing
• Midwifery, and
• Specialist Nursing.

List of Rights 3.10: The University is responsible for ensuring that exams are not to be timetabled to end later than 19:00 on weekdays, with the exception of online or evening courses. Regular exam instances are not to be timetabled on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays in the Swedish calendar.

The Faculty of Medicine requests an exemption from this point based on the following:

To give students with learning support the opportunity to have additional time for written exams, the timing of exams for these students may sometimes take place after 19:00.

This applies to students enrolled in the following programmes:

• Occupational Therapy
• Audiology
• Biomedicine
• Physiotherapy
• Speech and Language Pathology
• Medicine
• Radiology Nursing
• Nursing
• Midwifery
• Public Health (Master’s)
• Medical Science (Master’s), and
• Specialist Nursing.

List of Rights 5.1: The University is responsible for ensuring that for every course/module the following are organised in addition to the regular exam: 

• re-sit five to seven weeks after the regular exam and
• one further exam session for courses completed in the past academic year (catch-up exam).

The Faculty of Medicine requests an exemption from this point based on the following:

When a regular exam takes place at the end of the course and semester, in June for example, the re-sit exam must be scheduled in August, which is why the seven-week limit cannot always be maintained.

List of Rights 5.8: The University is responsible for ensuring that exam feedback is provided in conjunction with the publication of grades after the regular exam session. The feedback on regular exams and invigilated exams should preferably be oral and timetabled.

The Faculty of Medicine requests an exemption from this point based on the following:

Five programmes – Medicine, Radiology Nursing, Nursing, Midwifery and Specialist Nursing already have special systems (not oral) in place for reviewing exams and offering explanations to questions.

List of Rights 5.9: The teaching staff member responsible for the regular invigilated exam is normally to be present at part of the exam or in some other way be available to answer questions.

The Faculty of Medicine requests an exemption from this point based on the following:

The person responsible for regular invigilated exams is normally present during parts of the exam or is available by other means for questions of a general nature concerning how the exam is conducted. This does not however involve answering questions related to the specific exam questions as this may give the students an advantage over others.

List of Rights 6.2: The University is responsible for ensuring that at least one supervisor for academic papers is employed on the teaching staff at Lund University.

The Faculty of Medicine requests an exemption from this point based on the following:

The supervisor must have earned a PhD and have knowledge in the relevant field for these programmes Occupational Therapy, Biomedicine, Physiotherapy, Medicine, Public Health (Master’s) and Medical Sciences (Master’s). The study programmes concerned work in close collaboration with other actors, in particular with healthcare and staff in healthcare who participate in the faculty’s research and teaching. It is therefore necessary that these individuals can supervise first and second cycle students. There are also a large number of researchers with PhDs who are employed as TA staff, but who carry out the same tasks as teaching staff. They can therefore be valuable supervisors in the programmes. Teaching staff from other higher education institutions may be required to assume the role of supervisors for the same reason. 

The Dean of the Faculty of Science has decided, following a consultation with the faculty’s presiding committee and the Faculty of Science Students’ Union, to make a request for exemption from four points in the List of Rights.

The chair of the Education Board has decided to grant the Faculty of Science an exemption from the points in the List of Rights – Lund University Students’ Rights and Responsibilities as specified below.

The decision was made on 24 January 2022.

List of Rights 2.3: When credits and grades are available, the department has an obligation to promptly – at the latest 15 working days after the exam – document the information in the student register (Ladok). Reporting is to be carried out no later than 10 working days before a re-sit. In the case of a grade review, the student concerned is to be informed about all material of importance to the decision and be given the opportunity within a set period to make a statement about the material before the decision regarding a change is taken, in accordance with section 25 of the Administrative Procedure Act (2017:900). Changes to grades are to be carried out in accordance with chapter 6, section 23–24 of the Higher Education Ordinance. If exam results are altered, the student concerned must be informed.

The Faculty of Science requests an exemption from this point based on the following:

The faculty always strives to document credits and grades promptly, but for the few courses with more than 200 participants, this is very time-consuming. The faculty therefore requests that credits and grades be documented in the study register (Ladok) no later than 22 working days after the examination for courses with more than 200 students.

List of Rights 3.9: The University is responsible for ensuring that teaching is not timetabled on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays in the Swedish calendar or after 18:00 unless the course was advertised during the application period as an online or evening course. Teaching may be timetabled on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays in the Swedish calendar, or after 18:00, if the teaching is conducted at places that are only accessible on these days or after 18:00, such as at museums and on excursions.

The Faculty of Science requests an exemption from this point based on the following:

The Faculty of Science requests the possibility to schedule laboratory sessions, study visits, excursions and field courses during weekends and in the evenings in cases where it is not possible for practical reasons to carry out or complete these course components during the day. Students will receive days with no scheduled teaching just before or after teaching that is scheduled for an evening or weekend. The timetable will be adjusted so that the total number of hours corresponds to the announced pace of the course, while allowing for student recovery and an even workload throughout. Students who cannot attend course components scheduled for evenings or weekends will be offered alternatives.

Decisions on scheduling during weekends and evenings shall be made by the faculty board, study programmes board or equivalent, after consultation with the relevant student council. Scheduling for evenings and weekends shall be put in the timetable one month before the relevant course starts, at the latest.

List of Rights 5.1: The University is responsible for ensuring that for every course/module the following are organised in addition to the regular exam: 

• re-sit five to seven weeks after the regular exam and
• one further exam session for courses completed in the past academic year (catch-up exam).

The Faculty of Science requests an exemption from this point based on the following:

1. The courses and study programmes at the Faculty of Science normally follow the period structure recommended at the University, with four periods of 7.5 credits per semester. Studies are normally undertaken full-time or part-time. This means that one or two regular exams are scheduled at the end of the semester. Pursuant to point 5.1 of the List of Rights, re-sits should be scheduled five to seven weeks after the last regular exam. The List of Rights also states in point 3.11 that the University is responsible for ensuring that exams and compulsory components are not to be timetabled later than one week after the end of the spring semester or earlier than three weeks before the start of the autumn semester. For courses with regular exams scheduled for the end of the spring semester, it is impossible to fulfil both points. It has long been the practice of the faculty, in agreement with the students concerned, to postpone the re-sit for the last regular exam of the spring semester until the catch-up period at the end of August. In order to allow two re-sits within one year after the regular exam, an additional re-sit is scheduled later in the autumn semester.
   
   The Faculty of Science requests permission to postpone the re-sit for the last regular exam of the spring semester until the catch-up period at the end of August. This requires an additional exam to be held later in the autumn semester. Decisions on re-sits after the last regular exam of the spring semester shall be made by the faculty board, study programmes board or equivalent, after consultation with the relevant student council. Scheduling of re-sits should be put in the timetable one month before the relevant course starts, at the latest.

2. Several of the courses given by the faculty, especially in chemistry, physics and mathematics, are taught jointly with the Faculty of Engineering (LTH). This ensures a broader range of elective courses, especially those given in the second cycle, which is appreciated by students. Most of these courses are run by LTH and therefore follow their timetables for regular exams and re-sits (Exemptions from specific points in the Light of Rights STYR 2020/1689). In order to support students in the planning of their studies, information about the courses concerned should be presented clearly in all application information. 

   The Faculty of Science therefore requests that for courses taught jointly with LTH, it be possible to organise exams in accordance with LTH’s timetable for exams and re-sits.

3. The Medical Physics programme is the only professional programme at the faculty and the only one with a completely fixed course of study. Twelve students are admitted every year and the courses included have a very high proportion of scheduled teaching sessions. If re-sits were to be scheduled within the recommended period, five to seven weeks after the regular exam, they would clash with teaching in a subsequent course. For courses that stretch over a full academic year (of which there are two on the Medical Physics programme), the department has full control over the timetable for the whole year, and therefore is able to arrange an extra re-sit week in January with no teaching sessions scheduled for that week. In this way, it is possible to avoid timetable clashes.

   For courses in the Medical Physics programme that span a full academic year, the faculty requests an exemption from the requirement for re-sits to be scheduled five to seven weeks after the regular exam, in favour of a dedicated re-sit period in January, when no other teaching sessions are timetabled. This makes it possible to fulfil the fundamental requirement of providing three examination periods per year in a way that avoids clashes with timetabled teaching sessions.

List of Rights 6.2: The University is responsible for ensuring that at least one supervisor for academic papers is employed on the teaching staff at Lund University.

The Faculty of Science requests an exemption from this point based on the following:

The Medical Physics programme is given in close collaboration with the healthcare system and its staff, who participate in the faculty’s research and teaching. In order to ensure there are enough supervisors for the programme’s degree projects, it is essential that these people, often qualified medical physicists, are able to supervisor students by themselves. The faculty therefore requests an exemption from this point.

The Faculty of Social Sciences has decided, following a consultation with the Social Sciences Students’ Union and the faculty’s Education Board, to make a request for exemption from one point in the List of Rights.

The chair of the Education Board has decided to grant the Faculty of Social Sciences an exemption from the point in the List of Rights – Lund University Students’ Rights and Responsibilities as specified below.

The decision was made on 9 May 2022.

List of Rights 5.1: The University is responsible for ensuring that for every course/module the following are organised in addition to the regular exam: 

• re-sit five to seven weeks after the regular exam and
• one further exam session for courses completed in the past academic year (catch-up exam).

The Faculty of Social Sciences requests an exemption from the first point in 5.1 for the following reason:

There are occasions when a re-sit cannot be arranged the required five to seven weeks after the regular exam. When a regular exam is scheduled at the end of the course and the end of the semester, for example in June, re-sits must be scheduled in August and the limit of seven weeks cannot always be met. There may also be other times when it may benefit students to deviate marginally from the stipulated number of weeks and some flexibility is desirable. It could be a case of extending the time between the regular exam and the re-sit in order to fit in with the next course’s scheduled exams. This is done with a clear focus on the needs of the affected students.

The Faculty Board of the School of Economics and Management (LUSEM) has delegated to the Deputy Dean of the faculty responsible for first and second-education, after consultation with all Directors of Studies and in consultation with the School of Economics and Management Students’ Union, the decision to request an exemption from seven points in the List of Rights.

The chair of the Education Board has decided to grant the School of Economics and Management an exemption from the points in the List of Rights – Lund University Students’ Rights and Responsibilities as specified below.

The decision was made on 8 December 2021.

List of Rights 2.3: When credits and grades are available, the department has an obligation to promptly – at the latest 15 working days after the exam – document the information in the student register (Ladok). Reporting is to be carried out no later than 10 working days before a re-sit. In the case of a grade review, the student concerned is to be informed about all material of importance to the decision and be given the opportunity within a set period to make a statement about the material before the decision regarding a change is taken, in accordance with section 25 of the Administrative Procedure Act (2017:900). Changes to grades are to be carried out in accordance with chapter 6, section 23–24 of the Higher Education Ordinance. If exam results are altered, the student concerned must be informed.

LUSEM requests an exemption from this point based on the following:

Exam results should normally be documented within 15 working days after the exam. For courses with more than 200 students, LUSEM requests this be extended to 22 working days. This is in order to give examining teaching staff a reasonable timeframe within which to make a correct assessment of the exam results. LUSEM has agreed, in consultation with the School of Economics and Management Students’ Union, that this point shall be valid for one year and then shall be evaluated before a possible renewal of this exemption request is made.

List of Rights 3.10: The University is responsible for ensuring that exams are not to be timetabled to end later than 19:00 on weekdays, with the exception of online or evening courses. Regular exam instances are not to be timetabled on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays in the Swedish calendar.

LUSEM requests an exemption from this point based on the following:

LUSEM requests an exemption in order to schedule examinations on Saturdays and Sundays for online courses that are aimed at working professionals. In order to meet the needs of students, it may be necessary to schedule exams for these courses at weekends.

List of Rights 3.11: The University is responsible for ensuring that exams and compulsory components are not to be timetabled later than one week after the end of the spring semester or earlier than three weeks before the start of the autumn semester, unless the students and examiner agree on another solution. Exceptions may be made for summer courses.

List of Rights 5.1: The University is responsible for ensuring that for every course/module the following are organised in addition to the regular exam: 

• re-sit five to seven weeks after the regular exam and
• one further exam session for courses completed in the past academic year (catch-up exam).

LUSEM requests an exemption from this point based on the following: 

Point 5.1 states that re-sits must take place five to seven weeks after the regular exam. At the same time, point 3.11 specifies that exams may not take place more than one week after the end of the spring semester or earlier than three weeks before the start of the autumn semester. This makes it impossible to organise a re-sit on an allowed day for courses whose regular exam is in the last four weeks of the spring semester.

This affects several courses at LUSEM. LUSEM would therefore like to request an exemption from point 5.1. for courses whose regular exams take place during the last four weeks of the spring semester. LUSEM requests an exemption that allows re-sits for courses whose regular exams take place during the last five weeks of the spring semester to be held during the last three weeks before the start of the autumn semester.

For the same reasons, LUSEM requests an exemption for courses whose regular exams take place during the period 10-26 November that allows re-sits for these courses to take place no later than 14 January. This is to avoid re-sits having to be scheduled during the Christmas holidays or Epiphany.

List of Rights 5.4: The University is responsible for ensuring that the student, if the form of examination allows it, is to be anonymised in exam assessment in relation to the teaching staff member conducting the assessment. Written invigilated exams are to be anonymised. However, the examiner must have access to the names of the examinees during the grading procedure before the grading decision is taken.

LUSEM requests an exemption from this point based on the following: 

LUSEM is currently implementing Inspera, a tool for digital examinations. LUSEM is one of the first faculties at Lund University to implement this at a larger scale. Inspera can also be used for campus-based invigilated exams and will bring new opportunities for the administration of examinations, including those that are invigilated. LUSEM requests an exemption from anonymous examinations for a period of one year, in accordance with point 5.4 above. This is to allow the continued implementation of Inspera at the faculty, and thereafter to design a model for anonymous examinations compatible with Inspera.

LUSEM has agreed, following a consultation with the School of Economics and Management Students’ Union, that this shall be valid for one year, after which an evaluation will be conducted of how the implementation of anonymous examinations has progressed within the faculty. The School of Economics and Management Students’ Union considers the speedy implementation of anonymous examinations to be a top priority.

List of Rights 6.2: The University is responsible for ensuring that at least one supervisor for academic papers is employed on the teaching staff at Lund University.

LUSEM requests an exemption from this point based on the following:

LUSEM requests an exemption from this point in order to be able to use a wider pool of supervisors, including doctoral students, employed researchers and people with external expertise. None of these groups are employed on the teaching staff, but where they are deemed to have equivalent skills to a member of the teaching staff at LUSEM, the faculty wishes to use individuals from the above groups to provide both an increase in the quality of supervision and access to the skills required to deal with the large volume of degree projects.

List of Rights 7.1: The University is responsible for ensuring that the implementation of course evaluations and the timeframe for implementation of course evaluations are to be such that they encourage responses. Students have the right to complete course evaluations anonymously in relation to the lecturer/examiner.

LUSEM requests an exemption from point 7.1 in the List of Rights for placement courses based on the following:

When students complete placement courses, i.e. VFU, their experiences are individual and linked to their specific internship. It is therefore difficult to conduct a meaningful anonymous course evaluation and much more rewarding to evaluate their overall experience as well as specific aspects of this. LUSEM therefore requests an exemption from the point that course evaluation should be anonymous in relation to the examiner for placement courses.
