Oral exam policy for master course DaIS - given in summer term 2017:
exam has to be completed (last chance) by 14th of Feb 2019

Oral exam policy changed

Due to the enourmous extra effort caused by cancelling exam appointments,
I decided to join the official system and allow for exam registrations only
during the official periods and after registration in PAUL.
Look for the next possiblity to register in PAUL.

A registration for an exam appointment is only possible after you are registered for the exam in PAUL. 
An exception from this rule needs a specific reason
(e.g. being an exchange student on visit of Uni Paderborn
 or previous agreement with me of a different exam date).
If you think, your case is an exception, please send and email and name the reason for an exception.

The detailed process for exam registration is decribed here . 

For exam registration, please choose one of the shown exam dates below and use the email link given  here under exam regulation 2017 and send this email to stb@upb.de.

The next possible exam dates (and preferred dates for office hours):

• Tue, 29.01.2019
• Thu, 31.01.2019
• Tue, 12.02,2019
• Wed,13.02.2019
• Thu, 14.02.2019 (last possible date for an exam about DaIS summer term 2017) 

Further exam dates in April/May 2019 (not for DaIS) will be announced by the end of March 2019.
