Examination registration period for the summer semester 2026
Examination registration period summer semester 2026: 01.06.2026 - 30.06.2026
Examination period summer semester 2026 (written and oral): 13.07.2026 - 30.09.2026
A timely registration is required for each performance (examination or ungraded coursework). Examination registration is only possible during the registration period set by the Examination Board.
In principle, all examinations must be registered online via TUConnect. Check your entries via the course of study in the transcript of records. You can find instructions on how to register for examinations in the TUconnect university portal on the GITZ website.
If online registration is not possible, you can also register for examinations in writing during the registration period. You can find the relevant form on the homepage of the Examinations Office or in the boxes in front of the Examinations Office.
No examination registrations will be accepted outside the above-mentioned registration period, even upon request!
The Institute of Educational Psychology also provides information on registering for the core modules in Educational Psychology.
Information for oral examinations
Please note the following circumstances: As the dates for oral examinations must be arranged independently with the institutes, a fictitious examination date is stored in the online system for the online registration of oral examinations. This date marks the first day of the examination period and thus the day from which oral examinations can take place in the respective semester. An examination date must then be agreed with the institute offering the examination. This date does not have to be communicated to the Examination Office. The Examination Office also no longer needs to be notified of a postponement within the examination period in consultation with the institute. Please also note the changed modalities regarding exam cancellation below.
Registration to retake examinations within the scope of the free attempt regulation (grade improvement)
Improvement attempts within the scope of the free attempt regulation must be registered in writing with the Examination Office during the examination registration period.
Passed examinations can be repeated once in accordance with Section 13 (2) of the APO. The better result shall then apply. However, it is only possible to retake passed examinations if the examination was taken within the standard period of study and the retake takes place in the examination period after next at the latest.
Please note: If you are at the end of your degree programme, i.e. you have completed the work required to pass the degree programme, you can only attempt to improve your grade if you notify the relevant examination office within two weeks of passing the last examination (publication of the grade in the online portal / notice board / information from the examination office).
Please inform the Examinations Office if you withdraw from a voluntary repeat examination online so that the original examination result can be displayed for you again. You will not receive a separate confirmation of your cancellation via the online portal.
Registration of additional examinations
Additional examinations must be applied for and registered with the Examination Board during the registration period (seeform on the homepage of the Examination Office)! Certificates submitted at a later date will not be recognised as additional examinations!
According to § 18 (1) of the General Part of the Examination Regulations for the Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes at TU Braunschweig, you are permitted to take additional examinations as long as you have not yet completed the examinations and coursework required for graduation. Students from Bachelor's degree programmes can acquire a maximum of 36 credit points from Master's degree programmes in this context.
In accordance with §18 (2), the result and the number of credit points achieved will be included in your certificate upon request, but will not be included in the overall result. Please do not fail to apply for this at the latest four weeks before taking the last examination required to successfully complete your degree programme!
Please note: Unfortunately, it is not possible to withdraw from additional examinations via the online system!
Cancellation of written examinations is possible up to the penultimate day before the examination date.
The cancellation of term papers, portfolio examinations, written assignments etc. is possible until 15 February in the winter semester and until 15 August in the summer semester.
In both cases, deregistration takes place via TUConnect.
Please inform the Examinations Office if you withdraw from a voluntary repeat examination online so that the original examination result can be displayed for you again. You will not receive a separate confirmation of your cancellation via the online portal.

What do I need to consider when registering and submitting a thesis?
In order to be admitted to register for the final thesis, you must have completed at least 130 LP (Bachelor of Social Sciences) or at least 72 LP (Master OGB, MuK, DiKuM, Sowi) of the examinations or coursework required to successfully complete the degree programme. You can find the registration form in the forms for examination matters (>Examination matters: Registration and deregistration).
You must complete the registration form yourself, have it signed by the first assessor and then submit it to the Examinations Office.
Please note the following information:
If you fall sick during the processing period, you must submit a sick note to the Examinations Office to extend the submission deadline. The sick note must be submitted to the Examinations Office no later than the third working day after the illness is recognised. The day of diagnosis counts as the first working day. Please note that a medical certificate from a specialist is required for the third and each subsequent sick note (see notes on sick notes for final theses [german])
If you wish to submit an exception request for an extension of the processing time for your thesis, please note that your justified exception request must be submitted to the Examination Office in good time before the actual processing deadline, as the Examination Board must decide on the request. The application must contain the consent of the first examiner (by signature), otherwise it cannot be recognised.
The thesis must be submitted in electronic form:
To do this, upload the thesis via TUConnect. The upload date is the submission date! No printed copies will be submitted to the Examination Office. However, the examiners may request printed versions of the thesis. You should clarify whether this is the case directly with the assessors. The deadline for submitting the printed version to the reviewers is five days from the upload date (Section 14 (7) sentence 4 APO).
In the event of technical problems (e.g. upload process), please contact your examination office before the submission deadline (by email).
The title of the thesis must match the registered title when the thesis is submitted:
In the event of a title change, the "Application to change the title of the thesis" must be submitted to the Examinations Office by email up to 7 days before the thesis is uploaded (including the signature of the first examiner). Please use the template sent to you.
You will receive all further information from us after registration in the document "Information sheet for submitting the thesis".
Submission of the final theses
Final theses (Bachelor's or Master's thesis) are uploaded to TUConnect. Submission by e-mail or on data carriers is not applicable. The date of submission is the upload date of submission to the Examination Office.
Bound copies no longer need to be submitted to the Examination Office. Examiners can request the submission of a printed copy within 5 days of the upload date. In this case, the submission will be made to the examiners.
An automatic plagiarism check is carried out.
You can only upload one PDF document (the declaration of independence must be included). To do this, convert your work as a PDF document directly from your word processor or use the print function. Please do not scan!
For data protection reasons, you may remove the personal data "surname", "first name" and "matriculation number" from the electronic version of your thesis before uploading it.
The maximum file size is 150 MB. If necessary, please reduce the resolution of images/drawings in the file.
Notification of illness during the processing time of the thesis
