Checklist for participation in examinations and compulsory coursework
FOR EXAMINATION – to be respected and observed
>> CHECK 1: REGISTERED before the deadline (GER)?<<
Unregistered participation in retake examinations—including assignments and other work during the semester—is not permitted.
You can find explanations on the “Exam registration and deregistration” procedure and “Tips”; if you get stuck, read our FAQs.
-> If you cannot find an examination number in your study planner, you can find it in our examination number overview.
The examiners or academic advisers are responsible for questions regarding the content of examinations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>> CHECK 2: SAMPLE COVER SHEET completed in full and submitted?<<
... for written examinations, term papers, essays and other written work during the semester: include this as the first page of the written work.
... for presentations and other oral examinations or compulsory coursework: hand in to the examiner immediately before the examination.
Your grade cannot be recorded in the examination system without the information from the sample cover sheet, so you (and we) will have to put a lot of effort into obtaining your grade afterwards.
If the grading is urgent, e.g., due to graduation, BAföG (financial aid), etc., please indicate this (with reason + the externally set deadline) on the sample cover sheet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>> CHECK 3: : SWORN STATEMENT attached? <<
Must be included as the last page of every written paper—except for written examinations (Klausuren)—in both the digital and print versions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>> CHECK 4: Enrolled?<<
You must be enrolled at the time you submit an examination. Otherwise, your achievement will be invalid.
This also applies to retake examinations.
This means: If you submit your thesis after the official end of a semester (in winter semester: after 31 March, in summer semester: after 30 September), you must re-register for the following semester regardless.
