How to fill out an examiner report

Examiner's reports are evaluations of the external examiners you collaborate with during exams. You are advised to fill out an examiner’s report after each exam with an external examiner. The objective of the examiner’s report is to assure the quality of the external examiners and to help the external examiners improve his or her abilities as external examiner. The report deals with the following areas:   

  • The external examiner’s professional match
  • The external examiner’s preparation
  • The external examiner’s behavior
  • The external examiner’s deliberation in relation to the assessment criteria and contribution when given feedback to students


You can fill out an examiner’s report from the last day of the exam or the last date set to discuss the examinee's performance, which is registered in Censor IT. The system automatically sends reminders if you do not complete the report.


To fill out an examiner's report, do the following:

  • Log in to Censor IT.
  • Press ’Indtast Eksaminatorrapport’ in the menu on the right.
  • Select the relevant exam from the overview of missing examiner’s reports.
  •  If you have no comments about the exam, press ‘Tilfredsstillende (ingen bemærkninger)’ i.e. 'Satisfactory (no comments)' and press ‘Indsend’ at the bottom of the page. Alternatively, you can press the blue 'Intet at bemærke' button i.e. ‘Nothing to notice’ at the top of the page.
  •  If you have comments on one or more of the areas, you are asked to assess in the report indicate this by choosing 'Ikke tilfredsstillende' i.e. 'Not satisfactory' by the relevant area. When you have done so write a comment, which elaborates on the point of criticism.
  • General comments, including praising, can be written in the last section of the report.
  • If you assess that the chairman of the external examiners should see your examiner's report immediately, tick the box ‘STRAKSADVISERING.’
  • Finally press 'Indsend' at the bottom of the page.
  • If you ticked ‘STRAKSADVISERING’ an additional window will appear where you must approve the report will be sent immediately the chairman of the external examiners.


If you received an email requesting you to fill out a report for an exam, which is postponed or cancelled contact the ‘Kontaktperson’ of the exam.   

If you discover that you have made a mistake in your report, after submitting it contact Censorsekretariatet who will unlock the report so you can edit it.

Information about the Examiner's Report

The universities have agreed with the Chairmen's Committee of External Examiners to implement examiner's reports. The purpose of the reports is to assure the quality of the work of the external examiners and the Chairmen's Committees.

The reports are filled in after each examination in Censor IT, where also the external examiners' report are available to examiners, exam administrators, the external examiners and the external examiners' secretariat.

Like the external examiners' reports the examiners' report will be collected every three months and sent to a central point of contact in the university, which will distribute them in the university's own systems.

To ensure the utility of the reports on an executive level it is important that a report is filled in each time an examination has taken place. The system will remind the examiner of missing reports by way of automatic mails approximately every two weeks.

The external examiners' secretariat – Censorsekretariatet ­– censorerne.dk – is at the disposal of examiners with regard to technical questions, whereas more general questions are referred to the local management or administration of the university.
