Examination procedure

Information for examiners

The written examinations have been divided into non-centrally organised exams (also referred to as decentralised exams), which are organised by the examiners themselves, and central exams, which are organised by the Examinations Office.

Students should use Stud.IP or visit the relevant examiner's website to inform themselves about non-centrally organised exams.

The Examinations Office provides information exclusively on all central exams. Students can find information on central examinations on the Examinations Office's semester-related information webpage, which provides information on exam dates and seating plans.

Here is a checklist [German content] with the most important points and step-by-step instructions for your in-person examination.

Central examinations

The Examinations Office informs the chairs for whom it organises exams centrally of the relevant dates and deadlines.

Non-centrally organised exams

Please announce the exam format during the registration period, so that students can still decide whether or not they wish to sit the respective exams at this time.
Please submit a room booking.
Announcement of exam date and venue: This should be done at least four weeks before the date of the (first) exam
Please publish the seating plans(only matriculation and seat numbers; no names!) in advance on your website and on Stud.IP.
Leave sufficient time between successive exams.
It is recommended that you have one invigilator for every 50 candidates.

For central examinations, the Examinations Office will attach clearly visible seat numbers to the desks to help students find their seats quickly. Students can look up their seat numbers in the seating plans announced on the semester-related information page.

For non-centrally organised examinations, you must attach clearly visible seat numbers to the tables yourself, unless the room is also used for centralised examinations and the seat numbers are thus already attached.

Rules for exam candidates:

You are only permitted to have the following items on your desk: writing utensils (no pencil cases), proof of identity (this should be placed at the outer edge of the desk), any other officially permitted exam aids, paper handkerchiefs, snacks and drinks.
You may place your personal belongings in a closed, non-transparent bag next to your desk. During the exam, you must not pick up or open your bag.
If you urgently need something from your bag, you must ask the invigilating staff for permission first. If you are caught handling your bag without permission, you will be failed for cheating. This also applies if you have a mobile phone in your bag that is switched on, even if the bag is closed.
While the exam is in progress, only one person is allowed to leave the room on a toilet break.
