4. Notification of number of participants and types of compensation for disadvantages
Lecturers inform the E-Examination Centre of the final number of students, possible types of compensation for disadvantages and (optional) how many people from the chair will be able to help set up and/or clear away the examinations (not applicable for computer room).
up to 15 June 2025
Compensation for disadvantages with extension of examination length
If there will be compensation for disadvantages with an extension of the examination length of more than 18 minutes, you must please book a separate room (ideally at Ernst-Lohmeyer-Platz) and organise separate invigilation.
Examination laptop(s), replacement device(s), instructions for students, and a handout for the examination invigilator can be collected in the examination room whilst it is being set up. The devices and information sheets can be returned when the main examination is being cleared away, or arranged separately.

Information for students
Inform your students
It is important that you inform your students that they need to log in to the examination platform Exam once in order to register for the examination course. They must also be informed that they will need their central username and password for the University of Greifswald on examination day.
Students can do this by taking the following steps:
- Go to: https://exam.uni-greifswald.de
- Click on “Shibboleth login” and enter their central username and password.
We recommend that you provide this information in class as well as in an email circular sent via the self-service portal HIS, and in your Moodle course via the announcement forum.
7. Setting up, holding and clearing away the e-examination
Arrival time: arrive at the examination room 30 minutes prior to the start of the examination
