Regulations for the summer semester 2024 (Update 14.05.2024)

Dear students,

Registration for all examinations in the Bachelor's and Master's degree programs in Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering/Environmental Engineering and Resource Management in the summer semester 2024 is possible in FlexNow from 15.05.2024 to 15.07.2024.

An extended registration deadline of 14 days before the examination date applies for written examinations with preliminary examination results (PVL). In justified exceptional cases, registration can also be carried out by the Examinations Office within this period. To do this, please send an email to pruefungsamt-bi@rub.de stating the examination(s). Please only use your RUB e-mail address for communication with the Examinations Office, otherwise your request cannot be clearly assigned.

Cancellations of examinations are possible in the summer semester 2024 up to 7 days before the examination date. Cancellations of examinations accompanying lectures are generally not possible (see guidelines for examinations point 4 (3)).

Another important recommendation: You will receive an automated confirmation email from FlexNow for each examination registration or deregistration. Please check this carefully and also check your data sheet in FlexNow regularly.

The following general rules apply to exam viewings:

• Exam inspections are only possible by prior appointment. A group is usually set up in the relevant Moodle course for students who wish to register for the exam inspection. If there are a large number of registrations, those students who have not passed the examination will be given priority in the allocation of appointments. The chair may also set a later date for the inspection of passed examinations, as grades may be changed at a later date. The relevant announcements of the chairs via Moodle must be observed.
• The duration of the examination is limited to 15 minutes. Questions must be submitted in writing and will be answered by email after the examination. The chairs may make different arrangements.

Applications for theses can be submitted by e-mail to pruefungsamt-bi@rub.de, stating the name of the supervising chair. The possibility of issuing the topic, which can also be done by e-mail if necessary, must be clarified with the supervising Chair. Please use only your RUB email address for communication with the Examination Office. Alternatively, you can also receive the application for the issue of a thesis topic during the office hours of the Examinations Office.

The submission of theses has been newly regulated by the RUB (AB 1556). As soon as the completed and signed application has been returned to the Examinations Office, you will receive an e-mail from the Examinations Office on how to proceed:
