- In which module does the course belong?
- Times of the course: Are there any preferred times? Exclusion times when the event should not take place?
- How many listeners/participants are expected (number)?
- Does the course require tutorials or does it have a large-scale exercise?
- Are there admission requirements for students to register for the course? A limited number of participants?

Exam planning / exams
Written exams
The Department of Computing Science department is responsible for planning examinations for the compulsory courses in the degree programmes. All other written exams and examinations must be requested by the lecturers themselves via the registration tool in Stud.IP
Exam administration
In Stud.IP under the menu item Campus, the Forms tab and the Exam administration for lecturers file, you will find information on how to access an overview of the exams for which you are the first or second examiner, how to grade the exams displayed and how to download grade overviews as Excel or PDF files.
Notification of examination dates
A short guide on how to submit the desired examination dates to the Examinations Office as an examiner can be found at uol.de/studium/papierlos
It is also possible to enter deputies who can coordinate the examination dates for the examiner.

Modules
A course always includes a module. Students study modules, not courses. The examination regulations only contain modules, but not the courses that belong to the module.
In Computing Science, most courses are anchored in the module of the same name. The "placeholder modules" (Special Topics/Current Topics...) offer the opportunity to offer seminars and other courses that do not take place regularly but are currently topical.
To be able to offer a new regular course, it makes sense to create a new module. To anchor a new module in a degree programme, the associated examination regulations (PO) must be amended. The inclusion of a new module in the PO and the associated module description must be approved by the responsible committees of the Department (StudienAG and DPR) and the School (Study Commission and FKR). As new POs only officially come into force in the winter semester, it usually takes a year before a new module can actually be offered in a degree programme.
Where can I find: Examination regulations - Forms - Module certificates
Examination regulations and forms can be found via the university link:
Studies --> Study programmes --> the subject you are looking for --> the degree you are looking for
the tab: [Profile] [Apply] [Examinations]
Do I need a test authorisation?
Examiners are applied for once using the form for the teaching assignment. In Computing Science, the examination authorisations are valid until revoked. See also below (Do I need a teaching assignment?). Teaching staff who are not employed in a teaching position will automatically receive a teaching authorisation after notifying the Dean of Studies Office of the start of their work. Please contact your Office for this.

Guest lecturers
Guest lecturers have the possibility to apply for a guest login in Stud.IP. All you need to do is send an informal proposal to the Stud.IP admin, stating the lecturer's name, email address and date of birth, as well as the course. See also here: Guests of the university
