You have to register in advance to set a date for viewing your exam scripts. Please note that the procedure described here only applies to the centrally organised exams listed in this PDF file. If your exam is not listed you should enquire directly with the Chair or professorship to arrange an exam script viewing appointment.

As a first step, sign up for exam script viewing in Stud.IP, course code 99998. These registrations are open from 19 October to 1 November 2020. Please make sure you do not miss the deadline, as late registrations are not accepted. Once you have registered for the Stud.IP course entry, you have to pick a specific date under the 'Appointments' tab.

The exam script viewing period for this semester is currently scheduled to take place from 16 to 26 November in room JUR 147b (Juridicum Building, Innstrasse 39). However, please be aware that this may change because of the ongoing coronavirus situation. Also, as the number of places for exam viewing has been reduced due to the current coronavirus measures, we ask that you only register for exam viewing if you really need to (e.g. because you are in your last semester at Passau). If you do not urgently need to view your exam script this semester, you can register to view it at one of the next opportunities in May or November next year.

To have your exam scripts reserved for a future script viewing period, please proceed as follows:

  1. Contact Ms Ossada, asking her to reserve your exam script from summer semester 2020. This will ensure that your script will be retained, rather than sent on to the archives.
  2. Register for exam script viewing in May 2021 using Stud.IP, as described above (course code 99998, remembering to set the correct semester).
  3. When registering in Stud.IP, write under 'Comments' that this is for an exam script you had reserved from summer semester 2020.
