-
Registration for study achievements (coursework): before submitting the first (partial) assignment
You must register for coursework (e.g. compulsory submission of exercises, practical assignments, assignments, seminars, project work, possibly also as a prerequisite for examinations) via unisono before submitting the first (partial) assignment. Registration is activated in unisono from 01.10.2025 to 21.03.2026. As long as you are not registered for the coursework, you cannot and may not submit any work! Please clarify any problems directly with the responsible chair. Please check the module descriptions (see below!) to see in which modules you have to complete a study achievement. -
Registration for written examinations: until 14 days before the exam
Registration for written examinations runs from 01.12.2025 until 14 days before the written examination (unisono calculates to the exact time!).
Please note different deadlines for examinations in modules that are imported from other degree programs. Information on this can be found at the examination office of the exporting degree program.
The deadlines mentioned are hard; registration after the deadline is only possible in justified cases of hardship by submitting a written application to the Examination Board!
-
Registration for oral examinations: until 7 days before the exam
Registration for oral examinations (online registration in unisono and subsequent coordination of a date with the examiner) must take place at least 7 days before the examination date (preferably well in advance!).
Important: Registered oral examinations that will no longer take place in the registered semester must be deregistered no later than 8 days before the end of the semester. Exam registrations that are not taken will not be carried over to the following semester and it is no longer possible to deregister or re-register. In this case, you will automatically be marked as " not present" (this means a grade of 5.0).
-
Deregistration: until 7 days before the exam
Regular deregistration from exams (i.e. without a medical certificate) is possible in unisono up to 7 days before the exam. Please note that the unisono system calculates this deadline based on the actual time of the exam.
-
Cancellation due to illness: until 3 working days after the exam or immediately in case of final theses (medical certificate and withdrawal form)
In the case of exams: The withdrawal form in case of illness must be sent to the Examination Office in writing or by e-mail (PDF) together with a medical certificate no later than three working days after the examination. If submitted by post, the date of the postmark applies.
In the case of final theses: The illness must be reported immediately to the Examination Office in writing or by e-mail (PDF) together with a medical certificate.
Please note that the Examination Office cannot accept electronic certificates attesting inability to work.
