Examinations in the summer semester 2025

Online registration for repeat examinations (only in case of illness or failure of the module)
01.04. to 15.04.2025

Online registration for the regular examinations of the summer semester 2025

01.05. to 27.06.2025

This deadline also applies to almost all examinations in sub-subjects, supplementary areas and subject areas from other faculties. For the so-called "early examinations" at the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics, please register directly on 01.05.2025. This will also ensure that you meet the registration deadline for the Faculty of Business and Economics.

Online registration for preliminary examinations in the BA degree program Sociology (PO 2016) and in EB Sociology)
01.05. to 15.05.2025

Based on the experience of previous semesters, we would like to urge you to register as soon as possible after the start of registration. Shortly before the deadline, inquiries pile up and processing times increase , meaning that there is often no time left for any necessary consultations with examiners or further clarification. It is also no longer possible to correct any mistakes you make when registering for examinations.

Deregistration of registered examinations

Examinations that have not yet been taken can be deregistered via the respective platform (see below)until 27.06.2025 .

After that, any registered examination can be deregistered by decision of the Examination Committee up to three working days before the actual examination date, details can be found here.
However, this is only possible via selma/HISQIS for written and oral examinations; for all other examinations, there is a form on which the examiner must confirm the agreed date.

Withdrawal due to illness

If you fall ill for an examination and the 3-day deadline for deregistration has already passed, please submit an application for withdrawal to the Examination Committee immediately (i.e. without culpable delay) (informally for written work such as seminar papers etc., via form for examinations with a deadline such as written examinations, oral examinations etc. ) and enclose the completed medical certificate. Please send both documents by post to the Examination Office, address: TU Dresden, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Academic Affairs Office, Examination Office, Helmholtzstraße 10, 01069 Dresden. Alternatively, you can drop the documents in the letterbox opposite the Examination Office door.

Deadline extension for written assignments

The deadline for submitting written assignments is the end of the semester at the latest - i.e. 31.03. or 30.09. The examiners can also set shorter deadlines. If an extension is necessary due to serious problems, longer absences due to illness or similar, please speak to the examiner first. An extension of up to four weeks is possible via the examiner. If possible, submit evidence to confirm the circumstances that have occurred. The Examination Office must be notified of this extension if the deadline of 31 March or 30 September is exceeded. Please submit the completed form signed by the examiner to the Examination Office.
If a four-week extension is not sufficient, a justified application for an exception must be submitted to the Examination Committee - again with supporting documents. The application must be made informally and submitted via the Examination Office.

General regulations for registering for examinations:

• Register ontime and in full! On time means that registration must take place before the examination is taken. Exceptions are examinations that have taken place before the start of registration. Preliminary work, ungraded examinations, presentations, minutes etc. must also be registered - not just written and oral examinations. Always compare your registrations with the module descriptions.
• Only register for the examinations that you really want to take! An examination that is registered for but not taken will be given a grade of 5.0 and cannot always be repeated.
  Do not register for an examination with an examiner other than the one you wish to take! If this examiner is not listed, please check with him/her first. It is possible that an examination was overlooked when registering the offer. In this case, the examiners can add it to the online registration.
• If an examination cannot be found in the regular online offer (this also and especially applies to repeat examinations) because it is not offered in the current semester or is not offered by the desired examiner, this examination can be registered in writing after consultation with the examiner and his/her confirmation that he/she is willing to take the examination. Please use the form published on our website and have the examiner sign it (digitally). Please then email the form as a scan to the Examination Office. It is also possible for the examiner to email the form to the Examination Office and indicate their consent in the email.
• This form can also be used if, in exceptional cases, special arrangements are made to take examinations that are not offered.
• After completing your registration, be sure to check that it is complete. In selma, you must first register the module, then the course and finally the actual examination. Under no circumstances should you forget the last step, as this is a common mistake!

If you encounter difficulties when registering (exam not available, system does not allow registration, etc.), please contact the Examination Office immediately!

Erasmus students cannot and do not have to register for examinations online via HISQIS or Selma because they are not bound by specific examination regulations. They acquire certificates of achievement ("Scheine") for their achievements, which are confirmed on the transcript of records by the Erasmus representatives of the faculty at the end of the Erasmus stay.

Regulations for repeat examinations

Students who have failed a first examination attempt in compensable modules due to insufficient performance can only repeat this examination if the entire module was not passed due to the grade of 5.0 awarded here. It is therefore only possible to repeat such an examination if all grades for the module have already been entered and if the module grade is worse than 4.0. The examination regulations exclude retakes to improve grades, with the exception of very rare free attempts (see examination regulations).

Students who have failed a module for the first time in accordance with the above regulations must retake all (!) failed examinations within one year of completing the module. If the module is not passed after taking all repeat examinations, a second repeat examination can be taken. This can (and must!) also be registered for online. It is no longer necessary to apply for an exception. If no second resit examination is taken or this is not passed, the module is definitively failed. The course of study in this subject can then not be continued.

Entering grades

The examiners enter their grades directly in selma/HISQIS. If grades for examinations from previous semesters are still missing, these are not yet available in the Examination Office. If necessary, ask the examiners yourself.

You can request grade certificates with stamp and signature (for applications etc.) by e-mail from the Examination Office.
