FAQ - Coursework
on topics such as registration, module supervisors, counting of attempts, dates and deadlines ...
The following information is of a general nature and does not replace students' obligations to cooperate, such as reading the relevant examination and study regulations.
When and where do I have to register for the exam?
Registration is possible at any time, i.e. regardless of the examination registration period, online via the self-service portal.
Registration should take place when the coursework has already been (fully) completed or is about to be completed.
Who is responsible for recording my academic achievements? Why can't I choose my lecturers?
For each degree programme, module supervisors are appointed by the institutions for each semester. For technical reasons, only two people can currently be mapped in the system. The results of the coursework are therefore collected by the module supervisors and finally recorded in the self-service portal when the coursework is completed.
Why am I not being credited with credit points even though I have passed the examination(s) and coursework?
There can be various reasons for this. Sometimes it is simply due to the software, which only updates itself at certain intervals. However, the Central Examination Office can help you here. A short email or phone call is often enough.
If the examination in question is a partial achievement or coursework, no credit points will (yet) be awarded for it, depending on the examination and study Regulations. However, as soon as you have passed all parts of the module, the credit points will be credited to you automatically.
Seminar, proseminar, exercise, lecture. What do I have to register for in order to have my credits recognised? What will I be examined on?
Registration for the module examinations follows the procedure described above. You will receive credit for successfully completing the module examination (including all partial performances and/or coursework). The examiners are responsible for determining the contents of the examination, so we recommend that you consult and clarify the attendance of the individual lectures with the respective lecturers.
Where and when can I find out the current exam dates and rooms?
In contrast to module examinations, the examination dates and rooms for coursework have not yet been entered in the self-service portal. They are therefore announced by the lecturers in the courses, by e-mail and/or on the internet pages of the respective institution. There is no separate information about examination dates, e.g. by e-mail.
How can I deregister from the coursework?
Cancellation is possible at any time, i.e. regardless of the examination registration period, online via the self-service portal.
