REGISTRATION AND DEREGISTRATION FOR ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS AND TEST PERFORMANCES

Registration and deregistration for academic achievements and test performances in the summer semester 2023:

Registration for the internship module examination: continuously possible
Registration and deregistration for examinations and mandatory academic achievements: from April 16, 2023 until June 15, 2023
Registration and deregistration for all retake examinations: from August 1 until October 16, 2023

!Please note that there might apply different deadlines for classes of other study programmes.

How do I know, if I need to register for an examination?

The academic achievements and test performances are regulated mandatorily in the module list of the examination regulations.

Please note: In the case of import modules, it is NOT the examination regulations in which you are enrolled that apply, but the one from which the import module originates. You can find a list of every examination regulation on the respective Website of the Philipps-Universität Marburg.

Furthermore, you can consult the mandatory academic achievements and test performances for each module on the MARVIN platform under “My studies” à “Planner of studies with Module plan”, when pressing the the title of the module you are interested in. In the tab “Basic data”, under “Prerequisites for awarding credits (type of assessments)”, it is noted whether and which test performances are mandatory in order to complete a module.

Course achievements, that are noted in this category, must be registered module-related and like examinations. Please mind the (department-specific) deadlines.
How do I register for an examination?

For an accurate description on how to register for an examination via MARVIN, please visit the central website for examination management with MARVIN. Please mind, that there might be differences regarding the regulations and deadlines of other study programme’s import modules.

If different exam numbers can be selected for the same module in MARVIN, the general rule is as follows:

Variant A = number 1 at the end
Variant B = number 3 at the end
Variant C = number 4 at the end

Which variant is relevant for you in which module depends on whether you attend a lecture with a final exam (variant A), a seminar with a final exam (variant B) or a combination of lecture and seminar with a final exam (variant C).

An exception to this rule is the module "Einführung in die geschichtswissenschaftliche Forschung". Here, please register for 2 course achievements as well as one examination achievement.
How do I deregister from an examination?

The deregistration follows the same procedure as the registration (see FAQ "How do I register for an examination?").

Generally, the deadlines for deregistration comply with those for registration. You can find the precise dates on this site above the FAQ.

In principle, you should deregister from all exams that you do not wish to take after initially registering, in order to avoid problems in the following semester.
Which deadlines must be considered when registering for examinations?

All deadlines for the registration of examinations can be found on this site above the FAQ.
What do I need to consider regarding retake dates and examination attempts?

If you would like to participate in the retake date, it is mandatory, that you have initially registered for the regular first examination date in due time. Subsequently you must register autonomously again via MARVIN during the period for registering for the second examination date.
The requirements for participation in the retake date can be found in the PDF "Übersicht Prüfungsanmeldung - wie und wann".
Do I have to take test performances / academic achievements for a certain module in the same semester?

If you don’t pass all of the required test performances / academic achievements of a certain module within one semester, although it is designated according to the module description, it can delay the period of study. This is because not every module is offered in every semester (cf. rotation specification in the module description).
When and how do I receive my mark?

Your examination result is automatically visible after the entry of the academic achievement in your online overview of marks (examiners enter the examination result either themselves in the examination administrative system or they forward it for that purpose to the authorized secretariat).
How do I receive a (new) TAN-list?

TAN lists are allocated by the HRZ. You can find further information for this purpose in the TAN list instruction of the HRZ.

REGISTRATION AND DEREGISTRATION FOR COURSES

Registrations for courses take place via MARVIN and are NOT examination registrations. You can find further information concerning the examination registrations in the FAQ “Registration and deregistration for test performances and academic achievements”.

Registration and deregistration for courses in the winter semester 2023: From October 1 until November 2, 2023

!Please note that there might apply different deadlines for classes of other study programmes.

How do I register for a course?

To find out exactly how to register for your classes through MARVIN, please visit the university's YouTube Channel. Here you will find a corresponding instruction video.

Please note that there might apply different rules and deadlines for classes of other study programmes.
How do I deregister from a course?

The procedure of deregistration is the same as for registration (see FAQ “How do I register for a course?”).

Usually, the deadlines for deregistration correspond with the registration deadlines. You can find the accurate dates on this site above the FAQ.

If you decide not to attend a certain course after you already registered for it, you should deregister from a course, to prevent problems regarding the registration in the following semester.

MARVIN only admits exactly as many course registrations per module as are to be passed in this module in accordance with the examination regulations, regardless of whether you have actually attended a course or not, or whether you would like to attend another course or repeat an attendance of the course.
Which deadlines do I need to consider for the course registration?
All deadlines for course registration can be found on this page above the FAQ.
What happens, if I missed the registration deadline for a course?

Unfortunately, registration is foreclosed after the expiration of the deadline.

If the lecturer agrees, you can still attend the course.

Course registration is independent of exam registration. If you are not registered for a course, you can still register for examination and/or mandatory test performance during the valid deadlines.

You can also enter the corresponding ILIAS-course, as far as you know the password. Of course, this only applies if the course registration is actually denied based solely on the elapsed deadline.
What can I do if I cannot register for a course?

If you cannot register for a course, please check the following:

A) Is the deadline for the course registration still running?

All deadlines for course registrations can be found on this page above the FAQ.

If you missed a deadline, a course registration is not possible anymore.

Further information can be found here in the FAQ “What happens, if I missed the registration deadline for a course?”

B) Are you allowed to attend the module to which the course is assigned?

For students of the M.A. International Criminal Justice:

Please check, if the module appears in the module list of the examination regulations and if it is possible for you to attend the course.

If it is an import module, please check whether you can sign up for it. A corresponding list can be found in attachment 3 of the examination regulations.

C) If you are permitted to attend the module, but cannot do so for other than the above mentioned reasons, please contact the iCM-coordinator of the study programme, who provides the course. For the M.A. “International Criminal Justice” please contact ma-icj@staff.uni-marburg.de.

Be sure to specify:

-          Description of the problem; with screenshot

-          Your matriculation number

-          Course number and title of the module in which you want to attempt the course
May I attend courses that are not designated according to the examination regulations?

Courses that are not provided in modules that are available for you according to the valid examination regulations cannot be contributed to your curriculum and participation will neither be certified nor shown on your Transcript of Records.

Generally, you cannot register via MARVIN for courses that you are not required or allowed to take for your curriculum. However, if the lecturer agrees with your attendance you can attend the course without obligation.

DOCTOR`S CERTIFICAT

If you cannot attend an examination for health reasons or submit a paper by the due date, send a doctor’s certificate to the examinator, that attests your incapacity for work.

Please note: If you withdraw from the first examination attempt/date by the use of a doctor’s certificate, you will be credited with the attempt (notation in MARVIN: ATT = Doctor’s certificate).

HOWEVER: You are not automatically registered for the second examination attempt/date. You must register within the stated deadlines. If you cannot attend the second attempt either, you need to send an attest for your incapacity for work once again to prevent the registration of a failed attempt.

INTERNSHIP

The compulsory internship in the Master "International Criminal Justice" is an important component for your qualification and profile building.
