Exam organization

• It is only possible to register for exams during the registration period. The exact registration period and information about exam registration will be sent to your student email address. Any registrations submitted after the registration period has ended will not be accepted.
• You will not be automatically registered for exams. That means you must also register for any repeat examinations in the following semester during the registration period online in C@MPUS.
• If a second exam /repeat exam date is offered during the same semester, it is not possible to register via C@MPUS (because the registration period has expired). If this is the case, please register using the form "exam registration / replacement form" at the examinations office. If you only wish to reschedule your exam date, i.e. if you would rather take the exam on the second date instead of the first date for which you have already registered, please send us a message using the contact form with the following information: Exam name, exam number, name of the examiner and the second date offered for the examination.
• If any issues arise during registration please contact the person responsible during the registration period.

You may register for term papers, Bachelor thesis or Master thesis at any time, in accordance with the relevant examination regulations.

• To register your Bachelor or Master thesis please use the form available in C@MPUS under "my applications".
• To register for term, research or semester papers special registration forms exist. They are published on our website. You may also receive them from the responsible staff member in the examination office.

Forms
 

• You may withdraw from your exam registration online via C@MPUS, provided you comply with the withdrawal deadline of seven days before the exam. This is only possible if the examination date has been determined and the examinations in question are student assessments or examinations in the categories “PL”, “USL” and “BSL”.. Withdrawing from your exam registration online is not possible if the examination date has not been determined. In this case you must complete a withdrawal form which is also available in C@MPUS (app "my requests").
• If you fail to comply with the withdrawal deadline, or if the examination is a repeat examination and requires a signature from the examining board, the completed withdrawal form and an explanation must be signed by the examining board and submitted to the examination office. Please be aware that this type of withdrawal can take several days to be processed.
• In the case of LBPs (examinations that accompany the course and are spread throughout the semester), you must submit your withdrawal application either during the examination registration period or it must be approved by the examining board. You can find out which examinations are LBPs by reading the examination regulations.
• In the case of illness, you will need a medical certificate stating that you are unable to take the exams. The medical certificate, together with a completed withdrawal form, must be submitted to the examination office no later than 3 days after the examination, e.g. via our contact form.

Please note that the examination office cannot retrieve digital sick notes directly from your health insurance provider.

• The cancellation form should be completed with the help of your transcript of records which you find on C@MPUS. The correct name, number and the date of the examination can also be found there. Please be aware that we cannot process incomplete withdrawal forms.
• If you successfully withdraw from your exam registration, this will appear in your transcript, with the reference:
  „withdraw/t“ = withdrawal within the deadline
  “ill” = withdrawal due to illness
  “withdraw/p” = withdrawal approved by the examining board

• The head of the examination committee is responsible for the recognition of previous achievements. The recognized achievements are recorded by the examination office.
• The recognized achievements are marked on your certificate.
• We need the module or examination number and the allocation of the curriculum in order for us to be able to record the recognized achievement.
  
  

• Changes to the examination regulations can only be undertaken for study programs where the students are currently enrolled, as long as new examination regulations have been published.
• If the examination regulations are changed for modules that have not yet been completed, these must be completed in compliance with the old examination regulations and not the new ones. The modules will be altered in accordance with the new examination regulations as soon as all parts of the module and assessments have been completed.

• You must register for any required module online via C@MPUS.
• Required modules can usually be repeated. How often they may be repeated is published in the admission regulation of your Master's program according to which you were admitted. You do need to have passed the required modules when you register your Master’s thesis; if you fail to do this, your study program admission expires and this will result in de-registration. 
• If the required modules are not visible in the registration template, please inform those responsible at the examination office immediately so that they can activate the required modules. Please be aware that even in such cases it is still not possible to register after the registration deadline has passed.

More information on the required modules (Auflagenmodule) and on how often they can be repeated is published in your Master's admission regulation.

• The Center for Higher Education and Lifelong Learning is responsible for registering and recording interdisciplinary key skills credits.
• If key skills credits are not recorded by the Center for Higher Education and Lifelong Learning, the key skills credits can, in exceptional cases, be recorded with a certificate of academic achievement at the examinations office.

In some study programs, additional modules can be recorded on the degree certificate (the number varies depending on the examination regulations). The additional modules must be recorded in the system, so they must be registered as such. Please contact the relevant person at the examinations office during the examination registration period to do this. Additional modules that have not been recorded, or any other achievements must be approved by the examining board before they can be recorded on your certificate.

If you're nearing the completion of your Bachelor's degree, you can begin Master's modules within your Bachelor's program, even before formally enrolling in the Master's program. Whether and to what extent you can take Master's modules in advance can be found in the examination regulations of your Bachelor's study program (tip: search for the term "master").

Master’s modules taken in advance will be automatically transferred  - whether passed or failed  - only after the Bachelor’s examination has been successfully completed and the final documents have been issued. However, if the module to be taken in advance can be applied to multiple areas, you must contact the Student Services and Examinations Office Service Desk to specify your preferred assignment. The results are recognized automatically.

If you fail a Master's module taken in advance, you will be required to retake the exam. This is based on the examination regulations of the Master's program to which the module is assigned.

• Every graduate receives a degree certificate if they successfully complete their study program.
• You must apply for your certificate (Bachelor‘s and Master‘s) at the examinations office. The application is integrated into your thesis registration form and available in C@MPUS under "my requests" as soon as you have reached a certain number of ECTS. Please submit both together.
• The processing period for the final certificates is approx. 6 to 8 weeks after your final grades have been recorded.
• Certified copies can be made only from the original graduation documents.
