E-Assessment & Testcenter
Current situation
UPDATE 05.10.2021: Face-to-face exams in the test center are possible in compliance with the 3G-rule (control at the entrance to the anteroom of the test center). The corona protective measures in the current version apply. The spacing rule is waived, so a maximum of 120 seats can be filled. If the number of students is lower, the seats with the largest possible spacing will be filled (e.g. every second seat = 64/56 or every third seat = 48/40/32). There will be no more intermediate cleaning, but students will be given the opportunity to clean their workstations themselves with a cleaning cloth provided.
