First, check whether the linked exam appears in the campus portal. You can find this under “Course organization” – “Exams/events of my orgunit” for the respective semester in the “Examinations” tab. The exam has the title and course number of the corresponding course in Stud.IP.
It is possible that the linked exam for a course in the campus portal is divided into two grade lists due to your assignment of exam and coursework in Stud.IP. Whether the work is an exam or coursework is specific to the degree program and is anchored in the study and examination regulations. The campus portal separates exam credits (gold star icon) and course credits (silver star icon) into separate grade lists.
In addition, you can compare the module assignments in Stud.IP and the individual exams in the Campus Portal. The individual exams can be accessed in the Campus Portal under “Course oganization” – “Exams/events of my orgunit” by clicking on the title of the linked exam for a course (“Show details for linked exam xy”).
If you are missing module assignments for the degree programs in Stud.IP, add the information there if necessary and check whether you have activated the “Release for transfer” function under “Basic data.”
All changes made after the deadline must be reported to EXA Management by email, as changes to courses are transferred to the campus portal, but exams are not automatically created or updated.

Typically, in the Campus Portal, the grade lists combine students from all courses of study. Therefore, it is also referred to as the 'common grade entry list' or 'coupled examinations.

This means that the module allocations/allocations of the examination numbers of all courses of study are combined in a common examination for the course. In the Campus Portal, these coupled examinations are always displayed under the Stud.IP event number and the Stud.IP event title (menu item 'Course organization' - 'My exams/events' - tab 'Examinations (/Substitution)').

The Campus Portal is only accessible within the university's internal network for the roles of examiner substitute and examiner. If you are working from home, you will need a connection via Citrix or VPN.

If it is not possible to open the Campus Portal, we recommend trying a different browser (recommendation: using the Google Chrome browser). If you are unable to do so after several attempts, please contact the ZIM-Support.

You can find information and instructional videos about the Campus Portal on the EXA-Management-Website.

Since it is possible for examiners to conduct multiple examinations on the same day and potentially at the same time (e.g., written exams), omitting the specific time eliminates a scheduling conflict error message. The system would not allow an examiner to conduct multiple examinations at the same time. However, conducting multiple examinations in one day is permissible. Entering the examination date is sufficient to establish the legal validity of the assessments.

In the Campus Portal, examinations are exclusively found under examination numbers. However, in the event portal Stud.IP, one searches by event numbers.

Currently, coupled examinations are generated in the Campus Portal based on the events created in Stud.IP. Therefore, these comprehensive examinations can be found in the menu item 'Course organization' - 'My exams/events' - tab 'Examinations (/Substitutions)' under the Stud.IP event number and the Stud.IP event title.

Some features of the Campus Portal may be limited when using the "Mozilla Firefox" browser. Therefore, we recommend using the "Google Chrome" browser. "Google Chrome" is the standard browser at HISeg, ensuring that all functions work perfectly.

Entering the examination date is necessary for recording achievements. Only then do the study or examination achievements become legally valid, and consequently, the completion can be determined or the date can be used for necessary assistance calculations. Therefore, it is advisable to enter the examination date before completing the final grade entry
