E-exam rooms

Our three e-exam rooms are located on the Grifflenberg campus. During the exam period in the semester break, ZIM provides up to 153 exam workstations per time slot for the delivery of your e-exams@uni. The workstations are distributed across the three rooms as follows:

• L.11.22/27: 75 exam workstations
• T.09.01: 48 exam workstations
• T.09.20/23: 30 exam workstations

While room L.11.22/27 is available throughout the year, the rooms in building T expand the available exam capacity shortly before and during the semester break. Depending on the cohort size, all exam rooms can be used simultaneously – including multiple consecutive sessions – making it possible to conduct even large first-year exams efficiently in a digital environment. At full capacity, up to five exam sessions per day can be held, allowing for up to 750 individual exams.

Each exam workstation is equipped with a client, monitor (with individually adjustable brightness and screen position), a wired keyboard with a German layout (“QWERTZ”), and a mouse. All clients operate in a controlled exam environment without internet access. For exams involving audio or video content, exam workstations can also be equipped with headphones if required.

Room L.11.22/27 is the largest of our three e-exam rooms, accommodates up to 75 examinees and is available throughout the year. It is particularly suitable for large cohorts and is frequently used for exams with multiple consecutive sittings. Separate entrances and exits allow the flow of examinees to be managed efficiently while avoiding unnecessary physical encounters. Before the exam, the designated waiting area for examinees is located at the point where buildings L, M and N meet (“Kern LMN”) on level 11.

During the lecture period, L.11.22/27 is used not only for regular exams but also for placement tests, assessments and central exam inspections.

L.11.29

Connected to room L.11.22/27 via an internal door, room L.11.29 provides up to four exam workstations for students with compensation for disadvantage. It can accommodate individual requirements, such as extended exam time or a quieter exam environment. To make use of these workstations, please inform us at least one week before the scheduled exam date.

T.09.01 and T.09.20/23 (48 and 30 workstations)

→ Room plans of T.09.01 (PDF) and T.09.20/23 (PDF)

While room T.09.01 can fit 48 examinees, room T.09.20/23 accomodates 30 examinees and is primarily used for smaller exams, including catch-up and repeat exams with lower participant numbers. As a pop-up exam room, T.09.01 is set up separately in mid-January and early July, expanding our e-exam capacity together with T.09.20/23 towards the end of the lecture period.

The two rooms are located directly opposite each other and are separated only by a corridor, allowing both rooms to be supervised with minimal invigilation staff. As in L.11.22/27, the flow of examinees can be managed efficiently by using different stairwells, helping to avoid unnecessary physical encounters. Before the exam, the designated waiting area for examinees is located at the point where buildings S, T and U meet (“Kern STU”) on level 09.
