Procedure of an eExam
First Steps
Are you being tested for the first time by an eExam and have questions about it? Then visit our information event. We will answer your questions and give you a virtual introduction to the premises, the exam software and the procedure on exam day.
With our demo exam, you can familiarize yourself with the format and the software at your leisure, so that you can concentrate fully on the exam on the day of the exam.
Accessibility Accommodations
Accessibility accommodation is also possible for the e-exam. It is important to submit your application for accessibility accommodation to the relevant examination authorities well before the respective examination date.
As a rule, the accessibility accommodation is granted in the form of an extension of the writing time and/or an extension of the examination time by the actual breaks.
Should there be a need for a separate examination room and individual supervision as part of the accessbility accommodation, there is the possibility of providing this.
eCampus offers to design the workplaces according to the requirements of students with disabilities and to adapt them specifically to their needs. For this purpose, please contact us (eklausur@uni-bonn.de) or the persons in charge (studierenmithandicap@uni-bonn.de) for students with disabilities or chronic illnesses so that we can initiate everything necessary.
Workplaces for students with a visual impairment are also available for the eExams. They allow flexible magnification of the screen content in steps of 1x-50x.
What happens if...
Usually, the first step is to contact the instructor. You can send an email or contact your examiner in person to ask for the necessary information. Sometimes information about the eExam may already be available in the course material or in the respective course on eCampus.
The Uni-ID is also used to access the eExams.
As a student, you will automatically receive the Uni-ID together with your semester documents. If you have forgotten the corresponding password in the meantime, you can reset your password yourself at:
If you cannot find your login data by the start of the eExam at the latest, the local support will provide you with a login account that is valid for the respective exam.
In this case, you should immediately inform the examination supervisory staff. You will then receive instructions on how to proceed.
Virtual Collaboration
The ViCo-Project offers you a variety of platforms on which you can collaborate with your fellow students on exciting projects. Here you can use modern tools and technologies to exchange ideas and develop solutions, from "Annotations of Media" to "Scientific Computing" to "Virtual 3D Learning Worlds".
Media Center: the Creative Workshop for Students!
At the MNL Media Center you will find everything you need to create professional videos for presentations, projects and other purposes. The staff there will be happy to help you use the technology and assist you in filming, editing, and producing your videos.
Using eMedia
You have around-the-clock access to an extensive collection of ULS e-journals, e-books and databases. These eMedia can be accessed both within the university and conveniently at home.
The day after you have activated your Uni-ID in GOsa, you can log in to eCampus with your Uni-ID and the corresponding password.
Personal data (surname, first name, etc.) are transferred from GOsa to eCampus and cannot be changed in eCampus. If you need to make changes, you must contact the Identity Management at the HRZ (idm@uni-bonn.de) accordingly.
Please note that only the first official first name is displayed in eCampus and you can define your own salutation.
You cannot change your password in eCampus. If you want to change your password, use the change-password-form on the website of the HRZ.
Most study programs use BASIS for course registration (voucher procedure). If you have been admitted to a course via BASIS, you do not have to additionally register for this course on eCampus - you will be automatically added to the corresponding course.
For BASIS-independent courses, the responsible instructors determine their own registration procedure and communicate it to their students.
You can find all the courses you are a member of in the main menu "Personal Workspace/My Courses and Groups".
Your courses are not all on the dashboard automatically, but once you add your courses to favorites, they will appear on the dashboard.
You do not need a Uni Bonn ID from us to access the corresponding courses. You can access released eCampus courses directly via the Cologne or Düsseldorf learning management system. To do this, the Bonn instructors must unlock the eCampus course for this purpose and give you the password for it.
The day after you have activated your Uni-ID in GOsa, you can log in to eCampus with the Uni-ID and the corresponding password.
You have to tell your instructors your Uni-ID, so that they can manually add you to the eCampus course. Only then will you have access to the corresponding course content.

You will receive eCampus notifications to your eCampus mailbox and/or your Uni mailbox (webmail). Please check your Uni mailbox regularly.
The external e-mails will only be sent to your university mailbox.
Students from partner universities (University of Cologne, Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf) who participate as course members in eCampus courses cannot currently receive notifications via eCampus in the mailbox of the respective learning management system. The course administrators have to use other ways, like the main course page or the timeline, to inform these students of their courses about the activities.
If the course administrators create a group for you within a course and add you as a group administrator to this group, you can use all functions for your work within this group. For example, you can create folders and upload files, create glossaries and wikis or use H5P elements for your presentations.
The eExams are currently held in the gymnasium at Nachtigallenweg 86, 53127 Bonn. The waiting area is outside in front of the entrance on the forecourt.
