Exam Enrollment

All students at Marburg University use the Marvin system to register for examinations and coursework (Studienleistung) towards the end of a course. So regardless of how a course is graded or passed, students need to register for examination, which includes written and oral exams, and also projects, presentations, write-ups etc. Passing the coursework (Studienleistung) is usually the prerequisite for examination and requires a dedicated registration - so do not forget to register your coursework! During the exam registration period, students can register for only those courses that are accessible to them in Marvin. For this reason, students need to make sure that a course is accessible to them at the beginning of the semester (see course enrollment).

The exam registration period starts a few weeks before the examination phase starts. The core examination phase is usually in the last two weeks of February and the last two weeks of July, but individual exams may be schedules a few days before or after that time period. The official registration periods are also announced via email. All students (local and exchange) have to register for the exams. After the registrations, the course instructors will check, if the registration requirements (Prüfungsleistung) has been achieved - if the requirements (usually homework submission or project deliverables) are not met, the registration will be rejected.

If the registration is not possible in Marvin (for example, due to technical issues), please send an email to the examination office (Prüfungsbüro), so we can register you manually. The email should, then, list all the exams that you want to take and a few details that are required to make the registration. Use the following listing for your email to specify these details:
