Prüfungsamt Exam Registration and Deregistration

• The courses offered can be found in heiCO (see the link on the right; ‘L’ = lecture, ‘SE’ = seminar). 
• (De-)Registration and the notification of results take place in heiCO (see the link on the right).
• The first and second exam period (lecture exams) at AWI are independent from each other, including a respective (de-)registration period. For written exams, deregistration is possible until three days before the exam day; for alternative exam formats applies: end of registration = end of deregistration.
• ATTENTION: For seminars, the following applies from winter semester 2026/27 on: The allocation of seminar seats will continue to take place as described in the respective course text. After receiving a seminar seat, an exam registration in heiCO will be necessary from now on (see above).
• After the end of the respective period, (de-)registrations are not possible anymore.
• During a leave of absence, taking an exam is generally not possible (see also the AWI FAQ via the link on the right).
• Students who are unable to attend an exam due to illness must submit a medical certificate to us at the Exam Office within three days of the examination, incl. the matriculation number and the name(s) of the affected exam(s). Certificates submitted later cannot be considered. Anyone who misses an exam unexcused will receive a grade of 5.0 (= fail).
• The medical certificate must certify incapacity for examination and bear the practice stamp and the doctor's signature; certificates of incapacity for work ("Arbeitsunfähigkeitsbescheinigungen") cannot be accepted. Please note that a medical certificate affects all exams within the attested period.
• The current status of the lecture exams and information on the exam review offered by the examiners can be found on the 'Correction Status' page.
• Please note the additional information and manuals below.

In addition to the information above, the following applies to all students enrolled in an AWI study programme:

• To register for AWI exams, use the ‘My Degree Programme’ tile; for registrations for exams at other institutes, use the ‘Interdisciplinary Exam Registration/Deregistration’ tile. Please always register with the Economics account (not the one of the combi or parallel studies) and the desired module and make sure to select the correct variant for exams with different ECTS credit points.
• Exceptions:
  • B.Sc. Economics 100% students can register for most IPW and MWI exams (module ‘Interdisciplinary Perspectives’) also with ‘My Degree Programme’. Please note the requirements for exam participation as described in the module handbook, without which registration will not be possible.
  • B.Sc. Economics 50% or 25% students register for exams of their other subject with ‘My Degree Programme’ as well, by choosing the respective study programme.
• You can use the ‘My Exams' tile to check your registrations and to deregister.
• When registering for exams at other institutes, the available curriculum context will often only be ‘free registration’. The exam result will then be visible to you in your account, but will not be automatically recorded in your curriculum; please contact us at the Exam Office for this final step (freedom of choice for courses outside our faculty: interdisciplinary module, additional courses or have them removed).
• With the 'My Achievements' tile, you can generate an electronically signed transcript of records.
• Use the links on the right to find manuals from the heiCO team and the AWI FAQ with, among other things, the most common heiCO error messages. If you have any questions, please check there first and then contact us at the Exam Office.
• Contact in the event of problems (please add a screenshot) or missed deadlines can only be answered if it takes place immediately and with us at the Exam Office.
• Additional notes:
  • Achievements at other institutes from the pre-heiCO period can be submitted to us at the Exam Office as a written certificate (‘Schein’).
  • In the module ‘Interdisciplinary Perspectives’ of the B.Sc. Economics 100%, no courses can be used that correspond in content to one of the compulsory modules (e.g. 'Descriptive Statistics' at MWI).
  • B.Sc. Economics students cannot use M.Sc. Economics courses for their study programme.
  • Please also refer to the corresponding Moodle forum posts for information on exam registration for ‘Key Competencies for an Effective Study’ and 'Teaching Economics: New Media'.
