Introduction

Once you have selected your courses and decided to complete a performance assessment, it’s time to think about exam registration.

Typically, you can complete a performance assessment in every course you attend. You can register during the exam registration periods set by the respective departments and institutions. An overview as well as information about the exam periods is available on the page Exam registration periods - overview. You will only need to register yourself for exams you wish to complete in the next semester if you are not automatically registered via implicit or mandatory registration. Just like with course registrations, you can register for any and all exams during the applicable registration period. If this is the case, you will see a Register ZEuS icon Anmelden.png or Withdraw ZEuS icon Abmelden.png button next to the exam or exam format, depending on whether you have already registered for the exam. Once the registration period has ended, the corresponding buttons will become unavailable.

Please continue reading to find how to register for exams using ZEuS and which additional options are available. Read the Cancel or change your exam registration - overview article to learn how to withdraw from exams you have already registered for.

There are no examination regulations available for visiting and exchange students. Please register exams via the study planner with module plan in the Additional Qualifications (and there "Further Qualifications").

Different registration processes

Depending on which registration process is intended for an exam, there are various ways to register:

  1. Registering for exams as a student: Exam registration with admitted status, combined with various options

Please note:
A TAN is necessary for examination registration. Read the Exam registration using a TAN article to learn more about where and how to generate a list with valid TAN numbers.
  1. Implicit exam registration: Registering for a course automatically registers you for the corresponding exam.
    → see article Registering for exams - implicit registration
  2. Mandatory exam registration: Students are registered for an exam by the relevant administrative staff.
    → see article Registering for exams - mandatory registration

All articles include detailed step-by-step instructions on how to complete the individual registration processes.

Cancelling an exam registration

You can cancel your exam registration during the registration period, or switch to another exam option. Switching is possible if your department offers various exam formats, e.g. written and oral, or if you are allowed to register for several exam periods at the same time (main and supplementary dates).

Read the Cancel or change your exam registration - overview article to find out more about this.

Registration status

Contrary to course registration, your registration for exams doesn't pass through different processing status. Having registered, the status becomes and stays admitted. Have a look at the glossary on examination management to get an overview of all possible status.
