Home examinations

Home examinations are also called written examinations without invigilation. These also include theses and portfolio examinations. Spring semester 2026 OsloMet will change its exam system from Inspera to WISEflow. You will receive an email with all the information you need. Some exams might still be conducted in Inspera.

    One-person groups

    If individual submissions are allowed in addition to group submissions, select “Create one-person group.”

    Groups with multiple members

    • One group member creates the group.
    • Enter a group name (for example: “Group 1”).
    • Invite participants by searching for their names. Only students registered for the exam can be found in the search.
    • Click “Create group” in WISEflow.

    NB

    • It is not possible to add new members after the submission has been delivered.
    • You cannot be a member of more than one group in an exam.
    • If you are invited to a group but do not accept the invitation, the exam will not be submitted on your behalf. You will also not be able to submit an individual answer, and therefore you will not receive a grade.

    Confirming group invitations

    • Group members will receive an invitation that must be accepted.
    • Accept the invitation by clicking “Execute” in the WISEflow dialog box.

    Submitting the group’s answer

    • When all invitations have been accepted, the submission can be delivered.
    • Only one shared submission is delivered on behalf of the entire group.
    • Any member of the group can submit — not just the person who created the group.
    • Remember: you must always click “Submit”!

    Submission receipt

    • In the submission status view, you can see the time of submission.
    • To receive a submission receipt, click “Send receipt.”
    • Each group member must send their own receipt if everyone wants a copy.

  • Submission deadline, candidate number and delete metadata (author information)

    • You will find the date and time for the release of the assignment and the submission deadline in Studentweb (https://fsweb.no).
    • Normally you shall not write your name on the assignment for anonymity reasons.
    • Write your candidate number on your assignment. You will find your candidate number in Studentweb (https://fsweb.no).

    • To ensure your anonymity, you should also delete metadata (author information) from the files your are submitting. Here are guidelines on how you delete metadata from Word and PDF files. Delete metadata in Office – in Norwegian only.

  • Procedures for unforeseen events

    • You must ensure that you have up-to-date/functioning PC equipment and internet access.
    • In the event of power outages, problems with internet access, fire alarms etc. that prevent you from delivering your answer, you must get a confirmation of this from the internet provider, landlord/housing association, etc. that confirms what has happened. Confirmation must be sent to your faculty no later than one week after the exam day. It will then be up to your faculty to decide whether you will be entitled to a new/postponed exam in the current subject. 
    • Extended time will not be given as compensation for lost exam time due to technical problems with own equipment/network access or similar incidents.
    • If something completely extraordinary happens during the examination and you cannot submit your answer because of this, contact the study administration at your faculty.
