Deregistering from a module with a concluding exam is usually possible until 10 days before the exam date. The detailed deregistration deadlines for each exam can be found in our exam schedule.
For almost all deregistrations, FlexNow must be used. Procedures may differ only in the case of oral exams (see below).
Each successful deregistration triggers a confirmation e-mail to your RUB mail account. More information on the use of FlexNow and support in case of technical problems can be found on the FlexNow website.
The exams office will only deregister an exam for you if you can prove technical difficulties which made a deregistration impossible. In this case, please write us an e-mail within the deadlines from your own RUB mail account stating your name, matriculation no. and the exam in question including the credited module (mandatory course, elective course, etc.) and a screenshot of the error message to informatik-pruefungsamt@rub.de. Mails that reach us after deadlines have expired cannot be considered.
Deregistering and then registering again for the same exam date
A deregistration in FlexNow is final and cannot be annulled by you. If you have deregistered an exam by mistake, contact us within the deadlines for registration and send us an e-mail from your RUB mail account, stating your name, student ID no and the course in question to informatik-pruefungsamt@rub.de. After the registration phase has ended, we will no longer correct such mistakes.
Deregistering and then registering for another exam date of the same course
Registering another exam date of the same exam after deregistering an exam is only possible after 10:00 on the following day due to technical reasons.
Exams are deregistered via FlexNow on your own.
For the exact deregistration deadlines, please consult the exam schedule.
Oral exams can be deregistered via FlexNow on your own if you are still within the deregistration deadlines. After the deregistration deadlines have expired, deregistrations are processed by the exams office. In this case, send an e-mail from your RUB mail account to the exams office, stating your name, student ID no and the exam to be deregistered. We also need a confirmation e-mail from your examiner specifying the exam date (or that no oral exam date has been scheduled yet), please get this confirmation in advance and forward it in your deregistration request. Without this information from the examiner, we cannot process your request.
All exams with continuous assignments during the semester that constitute the exam in question (= “semesterbegleitend”) can be deregistered via FlexNow during the first four weeks in the beginning of the semester.
Block seminars and block practical courses during the semester breaks can be deregistered up to ten days before the course starts.
For detailed deadlines, see the exam schedule.
After the registration period has ended, a one-time change from the first exam to the resit exam or vice versa is allowed, but no later than 14 days before the first exam date and done via the exams office. Please send an e-mail to the exams office from your RUB mail account no later than 14 days before the first exam date, regardless of whether you want to switch from the 1st to the 2nd exam date or vice versa.
For detailed deadlines, see the exam schedule.
