Registration in TUMonline - please keep deadlines in mind!
Please keep deadlines in mind and register in time! If you have problems registering for exams, please consult your TUMonline brochure or the website www.it.tum.de/it/tumonline/. If you still have problems, please contact the secretary of the examination board of your degree program directly by email before the end of the registration period.
You can find this information under your degree program and under Contacts for Examination Matters.
Late registration for exams is not possible. If you were not registered for an exam, neither the ECTS points nor the grade will be credited and you will have to repeat the exam.
Midterm and early exams ( i.e. after block courses)
These usually have separate registration periods and are announced well in advance. Students who are registered for the midterm exam in TUMonline are automatically registered for the final exam. All others must register for the final exam in TUMonline themselves.

Each TUM semester is divided in lecture period and lecture-free period. Exams of the Department of Informatics normally start around the end of the lecture period until the third week of the lecture-free period (incl. Saturdays!) at the latest. Retake exams (taken by students who fail the first time) are usually held at the beginning of the next semester, either in the last three weeks of the lecture-free period or in the first week of lectures. From the TUM semester dates (here), prospective exam periods of TUM Informatics can be derived.
Due to the large number of exams and rooms required, the general timeframes given on this website are subject to change. Please check the exact dates of the examinations for your individual courses. The examination dates are issued during the first few weeks of the course.
Please take a look at the information below to learn more about exam registration, deadlines, and withdrawal guidelines. Note: If you do not register for an exam via TUMonline, the credits will not count towards to your ECTS account.
Deadlines
You can deregister from the exam via TUMonline until the end of the registration period. This does not apply if you are obliged to retake an exam. Registration for written exams can be cancelled up to 7 days before the exam.
Be aware that a 5,0 will be shown in your grade report if you do not cancel in time.
If the examination regulations of your program allow for other withdrawals (e.g. early withdrawal), please contact your secretary of the examination board, see Your Contacts for Examination Matters.
If you encounter any problems deregistering from an exam, please contact your secretary of the examination board immediately, see Your Contacts for Examination Matters.
Withdrawals for Medical Reasons
The following degree programs do not restrict the number of times an examination can be repeated:
- Bachelor's in Informatics
- Bachelor's in Informatics: Games Engineering
- Bachelor's in Information Systems
- all Master's degree programs lasting 4 semesters
Therefore, you need to provide medical evidence of your inability to sit an examination only in exceptional cases, e.g. if you envisage problems obtaining sufficient credit points during your program. If you cannot sit an examination due to illness, you need to provide a medical certificate as soon as possible to prove you were unable to take the exam. You should keep this medical certificate safe until the end of your program as you may need to present it to the examination board. If you are uncertain whether a medical certificate meets the regulations, please check with the academic advising Informatics.
See also the requirements for the medical certificate on the university page about withdrawing from examinations and the list of approved medical examiners.
For information on the transfer of credits from your previous studies, a consecutive degree program, or from an exchange semester abroad, please visit the page "Transfer of Credits".
