Exam registration/electronic student account (StudIS)
How and when do I register for exams?
Please use the StudIS portal to register for coursework and performance assessments. Registering via the LSF or ILIAS does not also register you for the exam. Please use the LSF and ILIAS only to sign up for seminars.
Exam registration in the winter semester takes place between 1 December and 15 January, and between 1 May and 15 June in the summer semester.
To register for coursework or performance assessments via StudIS, you will need a TAN list that you can obtain from the Student Service Centre (SSZ).
Do I need to register for presentations and term papers as well, or just for exams?
The subject-specific provisions set out in your examination regulations (attachment B for the major, attachment C for the minor) have detailed information on the exam components you must complete in every module. These are composed of both coursework and performance assessments. If the only requirement in your course is one piece of coursework, e.g. an ungraded presentation, you do need to register for this piece of coursework during the registration period, even if the presentation is held before the registration date. This is the only way to make sure that the completed performance assessment is saved to your electronic student account. If you are required to complete both a piece of coursework (e.g. a presentation) and a performance assessment (e.g. an exam or term paper), you only need to register once for both.
How can I withdraw from an examination?
You can only withdraw during the registration period. After 15 January and/or 15 June, you will only be permitted to withdraw from examinations if you can produce a medical certificate.
My courses have been assigned incorrectly in StudIS. Can I move my accounts?
Yes, you can move achievements in your electronic student account if the relevant course was also offered in the module that you want to move it to. To have your electronic student account updated, please consult with our departmental student advisor, Dr Daniel Hütter, during office hours.
Where can I obtain a certified copy of my transcript of records?
To obtain a transcript of records, please contact Susanne Müller in the departmental office (H211) or consult with Dr Daniel Hütter (H201) during office hours.
Master’s thesis/final oral examination
When and where should I register for the master’s thesis?
To register, please contact Mr Nuber in the Central Examination Office (C 402).
The registration period to have your master’s thesis examined in the winter semester is 1-15 July.
If you want your master’s thesis examined in the summer semester, you need to register between 1 and 15 February.
What are the requirements for registering for the master's thesis?
You must have completed half of all required coursework and performance assessments. To document this, please use the form you can obtain from Dr Daniel Hütter during office hours.
How long do I have to write my master’s thesis?
The writing period is four months. In special cases, you can request to have this period extended by another two months.
If you register for your master’s thesis by 15 July, the writing period starts on 31 October and ends at the end of January.
If you register by 15 February, the writing period starts on 30 April and ends at the end of August.
