General notes and information

  • You must generally register for all exams you intend to sit in a given semester during the exam registration period. You will not be allowed to sit an exam without a prior, valid exam registration.
  • You can only register for exams or withdraw the registrations (i.e. cancel them without justification) by the deadlines announced below. After these deadlines, you will no longer be able to register for exams; after the withdrawal deadline you will not be able to withdraw the registration.
  • Exam registration and withdrawal for the end-of-semester exams must be done in the Campus Portal.
  • Applications for mark improvement (resitting exams you have passed) are only accepted if your degree programme allows for this. These must be submitted to the Examinations Office during the regular exam registration periods; you cannot register for mark improvement directly in the Campus Portal. Please refer to the information sheet on mark improvement.
  • Information on compensation for disadvantages can be found on our homepage. Please note the deadlines and information given there.
  • Notes on resits during a semester on leave:
    • When you are on a semester on leave (Urlaubssemester in German), you can only resit examinations that you previously failed.
    • You cannot resit passed exams for mark improvement during a leave semester.
  • If any exam or registration modalities other than the standard modalities apply to your exams, these will be announced in the relevant courses, on the chairs’ websites or in Stud.IP.
  • Information on viewing of exam scripts for the centrally organised exams can be found in the tabs below

Problems with registration? Please note the following:

  • In the Campus Portal, exam registrations and withdrawals are processed through the 'EXA' module. Helpful guides and videos on exam registration and withdrawal are available on the EXA management page.
  • You can only register in the Campus Portal if your course/module is listed in Stud.IP under “Module assignments” in the course view. If the course/module is not correctly assigned to your degree programme, please contact the chair and ask them to make the necessary adjustments.
  • Furthermore, you will not be able to register in this way if there is still an open registration from the previous semester. If that is the case, please contact the respective chair directly so that the open registration can be booked.

Do you have any other problems with exam registration or questions? Then please contact the person responsible for your degree programme in the Examinations Office within the deadlines. We’re always happy to help!
