FAQs

How and when do I register for exams?

You must register for all exams.
This includes exams held throughout the semester (e.g. during seminars). The dates for registration will be announced in good time on the Examinations Office's website (see Examinations).

Registration for and withdrawal from all Bachelor's exams as well as those for MA Near and Middle Eastern Politics and Economics is available for students from these degree programmes only in the self-service area on the LSF/QIS portal >>> here.

After registering for an exam, please make sure that it has been processed successfully. Objections at a later stage shall not be considered. If you sit an exam that you have not registered for, it will not be marked.

For further information on marking or registering for exams with TAN lists on the LSF/QIS portal, please refer to the Examinations Office of Department 10 >>> here
How do I register for exams if I am not on the MA Near and Middle Eastern Politics and Economics course or I minor in it?

Those enrolled in other CNMS master's courses as well as those who minor in MA Near and Middle Eastern Politics and Economics must register by signing the lists that circulate in lectures during the registration period.
How do I get or create a (new) TAN list?

The dates for collecting the PIN/TAN list required for online registration will be announced on the examinations office's website (see Examinations).

If you experience any problems registering or generating a new TAN list, please watch the following video >>> here
What happens if I can't sit an exam?

If you register for an exam but fail to sit it, you will receive a grade of "unsatisfactory" unless you can provide compelling grounds for your absence (such as illnesses for which you have doctor's report or, in the event of repeat cases, an official medical certificate).
The report or medical certificate must be promptly submitted to the examinations office together with the application for withdrawal. An accepted withdrawal will be noted down in the mark sheet as RAN ("Rücktritt anerkannt", or withdrawal accepted).

You can download the application form for withdrawal here >>> PDF.
Please note that you are not automatically registered for resits. Registration takes place via the appropriate department or representative.
Where can I collect my exam results (if the subject is my minor)?

Results are usually available for collection from Mrs. Michaelis-Braun (Room 00A33) in the examinations office.
If your studies involve a major in another department, you will need to pick up your certificates in your respective examinations office.
Where can I get my transcript of records?

Have you checked the system (QIS/LSF) to see whether all of your transcripts have been recorded yet? If so, there shouldn't be a problem!
If transcripts are missing, please contact the department(s) in question to make sure that the grade(s) and transcript of records are sent to you as soon as possible.
For more information, see the Examinations Office's website >>> here.
How do I convert the grades I got while studying abroad and get them accredited?
