There are two types of examinations at the WiSo Faculty: the module examination and the course examination. The difference lies in whether the course is without or with a participant restriction. In the following, we present the examination registration for both types.

Important: Information on examination law (such as the examination procedure, permitted aids or inspection) can be found on the WiSo Examination Office website. Further information can be found in the respective examination regulations for your degree programme.

1. Module examination: examination registration for courses without participant restriction

For examinations of courses without a participant limit (usually lectures), you register via the module examination. All information for this type of registration can be found in the picture-click instructions of the central KLIPS support (please select the view for desktops or mobile devices accordingly):

• Registering for exams
• Deregistration from exams
• Switching exams
• Exam results
• Recognition

Advice: Please also take a look at the general instructions for using KLIPS - in particular the new planning tool (bookmark) will give you a better overview of your studies if you have set it up properly.

Some modules (usually module examinations) have several examinations to choose from. These either relate to different courses within this module or to alternative examination dates for a course. In KLIPS, these examinations are listed in the slider and are difficult to distinguish from one another.

Example: The EM Current Topics in Economics has four courses. You must pass the exam in one of them in order to complete the module. The examinations for these four courses take place in parallel on the same day, in the same room and at the same time. The screenshots show that the exam details in the slider can easily be overlooked. There is a high risk of registering for the wrong exam. This applies equally to the slider on the mobile device and on the desktop.

If you click on the module name instead (in the example EM Current Topics in Economics), you will be taken to the much clearer list view.

In the following screenshots, all exams are listed one below the other in the list view on the mobile device or desktop. All the necessary information (examiner and course title) can be seen at a glance. The correct exam can be identified more easily.

Important: We strongly recommend that you use the list view and not the slider.

Registration for courses with participant restriction (usually seminars) takes place via the course and not via the module examination. The reason for this is that a fixed place is required for exam registration (in contrast to courses without participant restriction). Follow the instructions below to successfully register for an course examination.

Note: Please also take a look at the list view recommendation described above for a better overview of exam registration.

Select the “My Degree Programme” section.

There are several ways to register for an exam:

1. Via the list view on the right-hand side (recommended for the desktop view).
2. Via the new schedule tool (bookmark). To do this, you must first mark modules and examinations that you will/would like to take during your degree programme. Please see the instructions of the central KLIPS support on organising bookmarked courses/examinations.
3. Via the study programme areas if you scroll further down (recommended for mobile devices).

Note: Depending on your personal preference, you can use the list view or go via the study programme areas, regardless of whether you are using a mobile device or a desktop. Below we present the list view on the desktop, which technically works just as well on a mobile device.

The path via the study programme areas is shown below (3).

In the example, we would like to register for the examination of the core module Marketing II in the elective area of the core and advanced section of Business Administration. To do this, we click through to the course - the Project. CM Marketing II is a seminar and has a limited number of participants.

Once we have selected Project, we are at the course level. Here we find all the necessary information about the exam: the exam date, the time and the examiner.

Note: Modules (here: CM Marketing II) can contain several courses (in our example there are five seminars, which can be viewed by scrolling). However, only one seminar can be passed in order to complete this module. Therefore, there can only ever be one fixed place. In our example, we see that there is a fixed place in the seminar ‘Marketing Application’. This means that you can only register for an exam for this seminar during the registration period.

We click on the ‘Go to exam registration’ button below.

Here we can see all the important information about the exam at a glance. We can also see the registration and de-registration deadlines.

Important: Once the deadline has passed, it is no longer possible to register for or deregister from an exam.

We can also see in the fold-out information field that we are in the right place and can register for this exam. If you use the slider in the next screenshot, you will see a negative example of an attempt to register for CM Marketing II via the module examination. The fold-out information field here refers to the registration path via the course.

Advice: Always look at the additional information each time you register for an examination - regardless of the registration type.

Click on the ‘Register’ button to register for the course examination.

Two message windows will appear if the exam registration was successful.

To do this, we click through to the course - the Project. CM Marketing II is a seminar and has a limited number of participants/seminar seats.

Alternatively, we can also use the search bar and then select the Project to the right of the list.

Once we have selected Project, we are at the course level. Here we find all the necessary information about the exam: the exam date, the time and the examiner.

Advice: Always look at the additional information each time you register for an examination - regardless of the registration type.

Click on the ‘Register’ button to register for the course examination.

Two message windows will appear if the exam registration was successful.

The exam de-registration on the mobile device is shown below. The de-registration process is the same on the desktop.

Click on ‘Exam Dates’ to see an overview of the exams you have already registered for.

Make sure that you want to deregister from the correct examination.

Note: Please note the deadline for deregistration - once this has expired, it is no longer possible to deregister from the exam at a later date.

If you have decided to deregister and this is still within the deregistration period, click on ‘Go to exam deregistration’ and confirm by clicking on the ‘Deregister’ button.

Two message windows will appear if the exam deregistration was successful.

Use the calendar as a reminder: Enter all registration and de-registration deadlines for exams in your private calendar immediately after you have been allocated a fixed place. Electronic calendars with push notifications help you not to miss any important deadlines.

Individual exam registration: You have to register for each exam yourself. A fixed place in a course does not mean that you are automatically registered for the exam.

Do not exhaust deadlines: Register or deregister in good time - do not wait until the last minute. Technical problems such as internet failure or device errors can otherwise lead to deadlines being missed. It is not possible to register or deregister after the deadline.

Plan your examination phase early: Many modules offer alternative examination dates in the same semester. Use these to organise your examination phase individually - whether compact or with longer intervals. Please note: These are not resit dates, but options. It is not intended to take both dates in one semester.

Check registration: After each examination registration, check in the system whether you have registered for the desired and correct examination date (under ‘Examination dates’). You can also visually check whether exam dates overlap in the schedule planner in KLIPS.

Know the difference between a module and a course: A module can contain several courses. Example 1: the BM Mathematics has the courses lecture, tutorial and tutorial, which must be taken individually. Module (CM Mathematics) and lecture (Mathematical Methods) also have different titles in this example; in some modules, however, the module and course titles are identical. Example 2: A module can have several seminars as courses. You have the choice and must complete a distinct number of lecture in order to complete the module - not all of them.
