Dear students,

registration for all examinations in the Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes in Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering/Environmental Technology and Resource Management in the summer semester 2023 is possible in FlexNow from 15.05.2023 until 15.07.2023. Registration for the special date on 02.06.2023 already ends on 19.05.2023.

For examinations with preliminary examinations (PVL), an extended registration period applies until 14 days before the examination date. In justified exceptional cases, registration can also be carried out by the Examination Office within this period. To do so, please send an e-mail with details of the examination(s) to pruefungsamt-bi@rub.de. Please only use your RUB email address for communication with the Examinations Office, otherwise your request cannot be assigned without doubt.

Cancellations of examinations are possible in the summer semester 2023 up to 7 days before the examination date. Withdrawals from examinations accompanying lectures are generally not possible.

The free attempt rule has been abolished.

Another important recommendation: Every time you register for or deregister from an examination, you will receive an automated confirmation e-mail from FlexNow. Please check this carefully and also regularly check your data sheet in FlexNow.

The following general rules apply to exam viewings while the RUB is operating under Covid 19 conditions:

• Examination viewings are only possible if an appointment has been made in advance. To register for the exam viewing, a group is usually set up in the corresponding Moodle course in which students can register who wish to attend the exam viewing. If there are large numbers of registrations, those students who have not passed the exam will be given priority when appointments are made. The chair can also set a later date for the viewing of passed exams because grades can be changed later, if necessary. The relevant announcements of the chairs are to be observed via Moodle.
• The duration of the exam viewing is limited to 15 minutes. Questions must be submitted in writing and will be answered by e-mail after the examination. The chairs may make other 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:
