Registration for Examinations

In order to be entitled to take part in an examination you have to be registered for it. You can decide for each examination whether to take it during the first or second examination period.

Information on this can be found in the Deadlines and Examination Dates datasheet , which is issued by the Examination Office for each semester.

Each examination period has its own registration period, within which you can register in FlexNow.

In the faculty 09, two examination periods are defined each semester:

• The first period lasts two weeks and extends from the last lecture week to the first week of the non-lecture period.
• The second examination period is in the last two weeks before the start of lectures in the following semester

Students can choose between the first or the second examination period. Please note that you must register independently in FlexNow for each examination, including repeat examinations (medical certificate, failed, exam not taken)

Justus Liebig University offers various courses to enhance your professional and interdisciplinary skills.

These courses can be recognized as one profile or one additional module as long as the courses are completed with an exam. For recognition one or several course certificates with a total of 6 CPs have to be handed in to the examination office.

Registration for attendance and examinations must be completed directly with the lecturers, as it is not possible to register for these through FlexNow.

Here is an overview of the available courses:
