Exam registration in ZEuS using a TAN

With the integration of exam management for all students of the University of Konstanz, a TAN wir be required for any exam registration in ZEuS.

Please note:

Please do not throw away your TAN list containing unused numbers at the end of a semester. The lists will remain valid for semesters to come. You will not be directed to generate a new list by the way described below as long as all numbers are not used up!

TAN generation

Please go to one of the two TAN terminals at the entrance of the Student Service Centre (SSZ) on level B4. There you can generate and print out a new TAN list using your UniCard. The SSZ opening hours are Monday to Thursday from 9:30 to 14:00 and Friday from 9:30 to 13:00. Please note the maximum number of persons allowed in the SSZ area under the current pandemic conditions (posted on the door).

If you cannot come on campus, you can use the online contact form and tick the box for "unblocking a blocked TAN list for ZEuS". This way you can request that your TAN generation numbers be reset in order to generate a new TAN list. Please note that we can only process your request if it is sent from your university email account and you provide your student ID number. The same opening hours apply as for the TAN terminals in the SSZ.

Requests submitted after hours and on weekends and holidays will be processed on the next working day. For this reason, please make sure that you have a valid TAN list well before the registration deadline for your exams.
