Digital exams in exam halls - practical information
Examinations are administered in our exam halls using your own laptop. Exams are digital and use WISEflow. You will need to install a dedicated browser (FLOWlock) on your laptop.
As a student, you are responsible for insuring that this installation is complete and performed in good time prior to your exam and that your laptop can connect to the university's wireless network.
