   It is important to get registered for each exam, each academic achievement and each exam prerequisite (please see no. 6) through unisono in good time. Exam prerequisites can be found in unisono under the number of the relevant exam-SL; for example, 803030-SL. It might be helpful to make screenshots of the messages (for example of the registration confirmation or errors) while signing in through unisono. These registrations should be done separately from the registrations for the respective lectures. It means that a registration for a lecture is not a requirement for an exam. Study credits can be only booked provided an online registration has been done and a respective mentor’s approval has been submitted in time.

2. Registration for written exams

   Registration for written exams should be done through unisono from June, 29^th 2020 up to and including July, 15^th 2020. Should you face any technical problems with the registration please contact the responsible examination office immediately on the next working day.

   Improvements for the written exams held by the Department Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and also by other departments or faculties have to be registered during the above mentioned registration period in the responsible examination office personally.

3. Registration for oral exams

   Registration for oral exams has to be done online through unisono seven days prior to the date of the relevant exam at the latest! After the online registration students should contact the responsible examiner in order to agree on an appointment.

It should be filled out and signed by both a mentor and a student. Further information and the forms can be found on the homepage of the examination office Computer Science: the list of mentors in Computer Science and mentor’s approval. The next deadline for the submission of the mentor’s approvals is on June, 18^th 2020.

6. Exam prerequisites

   Please ask the responsible teachers at the beginning of each term whether there are any certain exam prerequisites (Prüfungsvorleistungen).
