On this page, you will find information on exam organisation, dealing with attempts at cheating, and exam authorisation.
The written in-person examinations have been divided into decentralised examinations (organised by the examiners) and centralised examinations (organised by the Central Examinations Office).
Students should check Stud.IP or the examiners’ websites for information on decentralised examinations.
The Examinations Office is responsible for organising centralised examinations. Students can find information on the examination dates for centrally organised examinations under ‘Semester-specific information’.
From the 2024/2025 winter semester onwards, seating plans for centrally organised examinations will be published via Stud.IP under ‘99997 Sitzpläne der zentral organisierten Prüfungen’.
Here you will find a checklist of the most important points and step-by-step instructions to ensure your in-person examination runs smoothly.
The Examinations Office distinguishes between two types of examination organisation.
With centralised examination organisation, we take full responsibility for organising your examination. In addition to coordinating dates and rooms, we also handle the printing of examination papers and arrange invigilation, amongst other things.
In addition to this comprehensive examination organisation, we handle the coordination of dates and rooms for all other examinations at the Faculty of Economics within the framework of the fixed examination timetable. For these examinations, we have already set both the examination dates and the room allocations. The rooms will be unlocked and locked by the invigilators on the respective examination day. Responsibility for other aspects of examination organisation (such as the allocation of invigilators, the printing of examination papers, the recording of marks, the right to inspect marks, etc.) lies with the examiners.
For centralised examinations, the Examination Office will attach clearly visible seat numbers to the desks to help students find their seats more quickly. Students can find the seat numbers on the seating plans published via Stud.IP.
For decentralised examinations, you must attach clearly visible seat numbers to the desks yourself, unless the room is also used for centralised examinations and the seat numbers are already in place.
Only writing materials (without a pencil case), ID cards (to be placed at the outer edge of the desk), authorised aids, tissues and food and drink may be kept at the desks.
Personal belongings must be kept in a locked, opaque bag next to the desk. Access to these items is not permitted unless agreed with the invigilator. Unauthorised access will be treated as cheating. This also applies to mobile phones that are switched on and located inside the locked bag. Transparent bags must be left at the side of the examination room.
During the examination, only one person at a time may use the toilet.
For centrally organised examinations, we handle the recording of marks, access to results and archiving.
For decentralised examinations, you, as the examiner, are responsible for recording marks in EXA (instructions: Help on Examination Management, German content). The department itself is responsible for access to results and archiving for decentralised examinations.
