Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Registration is possible online via the self-service portal during the examination registration periods. The registration periods are cut-off periods. The exact deadlines can be found on the University of Greifswald's homepage. Other examinations and/or marked coursework are an exception to the services you must register for. Here, registration is carried out in accordance with the respective Fachprüfungsordnung (Subject-Specific Examination Regulations) by the examiners via lists of participants, etc. Details can be found in the respective Fachprüfungsordnung (Subject-Specific Examination Regulations).

As the registration deadlines are cut-off periods, it is no longer possible to register after the deadline.

A user ID with password is required for examination registrations via the self-service portal. Please note the correct selection of the module (the module name can be found in the Prüfungsordnung (Examination Regulations) for the respective subject/degree course) and the examiners. You can view the status of the exam (registered) in the self-service portal. If any problems arise, please contact the Central Examination Office immediately by email, telephone or in person.

Registration for the module examinations follows the procedure described above. You will receive credit for successfully completing the module examination (including all partial performances). 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.

Registration for a final examination (cross-modular examination or defence of the thesis) is only possible if all admission requirements have been met. As a rule, registration for the final examination is not tied to the regular examination registration period, unless the Fachprüfungsordnung (Subject-Specific Examination Regulations) provide for this for special reasons. If you intend to register outside the regular registration period, please complete this form and submit it to the Central Examination Office in good time before the exam.

The examination dates and rooms will be coordinated, set and entered into the self-service portal after the examination registration period has ended and can be viewed online from this point onwards. Students must inform themselves about the examination dates in the self-service portal. There is no separate information about examination dates, e.g. by email.

Whether an admission requirement exists for an exam is determined by the Fachprüfungsordnung (Subject-Specific Examination Regulations) valid for the degree course in question. The rules also specify whether admission is by notification. If this is the case, the student can collect the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies from the Central Examination Office until shortly before the exam.

It is no longer possible to register for an exam once the exam registration phase has been completed. This exam can therefore not be taken in this semester. If the exam is taken without registration, it is ineffective and the exam result is cancelled.

You can cancel incorrectly registered exams online during the registration process. If the registration procedure has already been completed, please contact the Central Examination Office immediately after becoming aware of the incorrect registration. Under certain requirements, it is possible to withdraw from the exam.

During the ongoing registration process, you can cancel registered exams online and register for other exams. This is not possible thereafter. The exam only does not have to be taken if you effectively declare your cancellation.

Additional courses are module examinations from other degree courses that can be taken additionally upon request. Additional courses must be requested and registered in writing at the Central Examination Office during the application period. When submitting the applicant, the origin (degree course/Examination Regulations) and the exact module name must be stated. The registriation request form for additional subjects must be submitted at the latest with the application/registration for the last examination and/or marked coursework of your degree course.

If you are at least provisionally enrolled on a Master's degree course, you can also take the module examinations for this Master's degree course. However, if you are not yet enrolled on a master's degree course, it is not possible to complete master's modules, as the requirement is generally a successfully completed bachelor's degree programme.

The examiners are ordered by the examination board each semester. If several examiners have been ordered for a module examination, students have a choice. However, it is permissible to change examiners and assessors at short notice for objective reasons. There is therefore no entitlement to a specific examiner.

A change of examiner can be requested informally in writing. If possible, this should be submitted to the Central Examination Office by the end of the registration period.
