Registering for an examination
If you no longer need to take the courses but still need to take the exam or re-sit, you can also register separately for the exam in question. Attention: register for the test and not for the course. This also applies to expired courses for which only a resit is offered. In Osiris, you can arrange registration and deregistration for all written examinations that appear on the examination timetable: both for the examinations scheduled during the examination period and for those that are held during the semester.Because registration is linked to an examination date, the period in which you can register also differs. For each examination, you can register for that examination via Osiris 40 calendar days before the start of the examination until no later than 14 calendar days before the start of the examination. It is still possible to register for all exams in the regular exam weeks at the same time because the registration periods partly overlap.
For each exam (including interim examinations) you have to register to be allowed to take part in the exam.
- You can register from 40 calendar days until no later than 14 calendar days before the examination.
- You can only deregister via Osiris and until the day before the exam.
Information for current students, including links to educational systems, announcements, etc. is available on the webpage from Student Services Contact Center.
