Registration Period and Deadlines

Here you will find an overview of the examination dates (sorted in the Bachelor/Master/KLIMA tabs). The overview is without guarantee. Please also check the examination dates, time and room in unisono.
In special cases (e.g. oral examinations) you will also be informed by your lecturers.

1^st Registration Period for the Winter Semester 2026/27: 
21.12.2026 – 21.01.2027

2^nd Registration Period for the Winter Semester 2026/27: 
To be announced!

During this period, you must register for all coursework and exams you plan to take in the 2026/27 winter semester. Please also remember to include any coursework you have already completed during the semester!
If you wish to take the second exam date (PL only), you can only register for it during the second registration phase (to be announced!).

Registration for coursework and examinations:

You can register for coursework and examinations via unisono. You can find instructions here.
Credits will be posted and displayed in your student account (unisono) once they have been completed.

Registration for the retake or second exam date:

As in previous semesters, students can choose the second date as their first date for exams, oral exams, and written tests for which a second date is scheduled, and register for it (though only during the second registration phase). However, if you take advantage of this option, you will not be entitled to another attempt in the same semester! Only if you take the first date and fail, do not show up, or report sick with a doctor’s note (the withdrawal form must be submitted to the Examination Office by the deadline!) may you take the second date as a retake.

Withdrawal deadlines:

If an examination date is specified in unisono, withdrawal is possible up to one week before the examination date via unisono. If no examination date is specified, withdrawal is possible until the end of the semester (31.03. or 30.09.). 
Note: Please note the regulations for withdrawal due to illness (see §18 RPO-B or RPO-M).

Repeating examinations and illness:

Withdrawal due to illness demands a doctor's certificate and the "Withdrawal from coursework and examinations" form (see download area) must be completed, signed and emailed or sent to the Examination Office within three days of the examination date. We reserve the right to request the original documents if necessary. You should therefore keep these!

Please contact the respective lecturer for information on retake dates.
Note: For registration of retake dates, see "Registration period and deadlines".

Retaking Coursework and Examinations:

Coursework may be repeated an unlimited number of times; exams within a module may be retaken twice (exception: the new “free attempt” rule). If an exam is taken during the final permitted retake attempt, registration for the exam must be done exclusively through the Examination Office. To do so, simply contact the Examination Office by email during the registration period. We would like to point out that, in the event that the third attempt is also unsuccessful, there is the option of a supplementary oral exam (Section 11, Paragraph 2). To do so, a request must be submitted through the Examination Office within two weeks of the exam results being announced! Coursework and/or exams that have already been passed cannot be retaken.

Free Trial Policy:

A new policy on free retakes has been in effect since the 2025–26 winter semester. Students in all bachelor’s programs are allowed three free retakes, and those in all master’s programs are allowed two. Specifically, this means that if a student fails an exam, they can use one of these flexible “jokers” to have the failed attempt removed from their record. To do so, please submit an informal request by email to pruefungsamt@psychologie.uni-siegen.de within four weeks of the announcement of the exam results. This is particularly useful when taking a final exam attempt, for which the new rule grants an additional, final attempt if the exam is not passed. However, there is no option to improve one’s grade, as the additional attempts apply exclusively to exams that were not passed.

Late Registration for Courses:

Courses can only be added retroactively through the Examination Office, provided the instructor agrees. To do so, instructors must provide the Registrar's Office with the student's name, student ID number, degree program, and module, as well as the type of course (SL and/or PL). Please forward the relevant email to us if necessary!
