Examination Week
Course examinations (Lehrveranstaltungsprüfungen, LVP exams)
Course examinations (Lehrveranstaltungsprüfungen, LVP exams) are held three times per semester during WU’s centrally organized large-scale exam weeks (see the academic calendar). You can only take a course examination if you have signed up for it in advance. You can sign up for course examinations even if you haven’t attended the corresponding course.
Students have to sign up for course examinations via the LPIS system during the applicable registration period. All students who sign up during the appropriate registration period are guaranteed a spot in the exam. Without exception, students who have not properly signed up will not be admitted to course examinations. Please note that WU’s no-show policy applies.
Please Note
Please don’t contact academic units or the Examinations Office and ask them to cancel your registration after the end of the registration period. Such requests cannot be accepted.
Exam Schedules
The examination schedules contain both a general overview of all examinations taking place in the examination week and separate examination schedules for the BA WISO 19/BA WIRE 16 curricula and the new BA WISO 23/BA WIRE 23 curricula.
The different plans can be accessed by using the buttons at the top of the PDF or by scrolling.
If you have started your studies in winter semester 2023 or have changed to the new curriculum, only the BA WISO 23/BA WIRE 23 curriculum is relevant for you. If you started your studies before winter semester 2023/24 and did not switch to the new curriculum, you have to follow the examination schedule BA WISO 19/BA WIRE 16.

Please Note
Be sure to write down the exact time and location of your exam. If you go to the wrong location, you won’t be able to take your exam.
No Show
If students do not attend an LVP exam without proper deregistration, they will be barred from re-registering for the same exam for a period of 10 calendar weeks from the exam date (No-Show). They do not lose an attempt.
Exceptions to this rule are only made for valid reasons (e.g., employer confirmation, medical certificate, childcare responsibilities for children under 14 years old…) for not appearing at the exam.
Currently, it is not possible to submit confirmations.
“No-Show” confirmations can be uploaded until the start of the registration period for the following exam week (i.e., until Monday, 2:00 PM, 2 weeks before the start of the exam week). Late submissions will not be considered!
Please note the Examination Regulations and the Guideline on the Administration of Examinations and the consequences of misconduct (in German) issued by the Vice-Rector for Academic Programs and Student Affairs. You can find the information here.
