A summary of the main measures
Here is a checklist with the main measures for the examination process and what you as a student have to keep in mind at the exam.
Good to know
You must wear an FFP2 mask when entering or exiting the University buildings. Wearing a mask during examinations (FFP2 or surgical/medical masks) is recommended.
A minimum distancing requirement of 1.5 mapplies throughout the grounds of the University of Passau. You must also observe the minimum distance of 1.5 m in all public areas, such as corridors and hallways, when entering and leaving rooms and buildings and during group work in studios/workshops (art education), auditoriums (music education) and sports halls (physical education).
Only the following items are permitted 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, spare face masks, paper handkerchiefs , snacks and drinks.
You may place your personal belongings in a closed 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.
All examination rooms are cleaned on daily basis. Disinfectants are available.
The hygiene rules and the coughing/sneezing etiquette must be observed.
Dress warm! The examination halls/rooms have to be ventilated regularly.
It is essential that you check the examination date and seating plan for central examinations in advance.
You can find the exam schedule for central examinations on the semester-related information page.
From 11 February 2022 onwards, you will also find the seating plans for central examinations there. Be sure to inform yourself in advance of the location of your desk, so you can go straight to your desk after entering the exam venue rather than having to look for it first. Our aim is to avoid any queuing, crowding or clustering of exam candidates to keep the covid risk to an absolute minimum.

If an examination room has two access doors, you have to designate separate entrances and exits.
Your identity will be checked when you are seated at your desk. As we have to ensure the greatest possible distance when conducting this check, we ask that you place your identity document close to the edge of your desk. Students and invigilators have to be wearing masks during the identity check. However, the invigilator may ask you to remove your mask briefly to allow him or her to ascertain your identity, in which case you must comply.
Rule-of-thumb for ventilation: Open the windows for 5 minutes every 45 minutes, unless sufficient ventilation is ensured by technical means. Meeting rooms: every 20 minutes, open the windows for 3 minutes in winter, 5 minutes in spring/autumn or 10 minutes in summer.
Only one person may visit the lavatory at any one time and must wear an FFP2 face mask.
If you are an international student and are currently abroad and affected by travel restrictions, please contact the programme coordinator for your degree programme or your faculty administration (Dean's Office) if you have any questions about the examination format. Luise Haack of the International Support Service will help you with any questions you may have about entering Germany or finding accommodation.
Insofar as contact restrictions pursuant to the Bavarian disease control ordinance remain in place, pregnant students may only attend in-person examinations if special protective precautions are taken. Pregnant students should immediately contact the Diversity and Gender Equality Section.
- You must not enter the University buildings if you are ill on the day of the exam and exhibit symptoms of a covid-19 infection or unspecific symptoms of illness, or if you have been placed under quarantine. In those cases you are banned from entering the premises.
- If you have had contact with someone who has had a confirmed covid-19 infection in the 14 days immediately preceding the day of the examination, even if that person does not show any symptoms. EXCEPTION: You are allowed to sit the examination if you are fully vaccinated and have received a booster jab, even if you have had contact with someone with covid-19 in the previous 14 days.
- If you are not entitled to sit the exam or otherwise have official business with the exam.
Invigilators must monitor compliance with the entry ban. If you have any further questions, please contact the Examinations Office.
Here you will find external contacts for further information.
