Midterm Registration and VIPA/FlexNow Registration

Written on 24.11.2025 10:57 by Robin Ohs

Please read this message carefully until the end! If you miss the exam registration, you cannot take the exam and thus will not be able to pass the course.

Dear students,

The Programming 1 midterm exam will take place on Saturday, December 06. 
To participate, please register for this exam on your personal status page no later than Saturday, November 29, 23:59.

Registration is open to everyone participating (as there are still two more mini-tests to come), but recall that you must have accumulated at least 40 points from your best 5 mini-tests by the time the exam takes place. Students who do not reach this threshold will be deregistered by us once this is clear.

Exam registration only takes place in dCMS. A registration in LSF or VIPA/FlexNow is neither sufficient nor necessary! (Economics-related students, do read to the end of this email!)

All technical difficulties that may arise when registering in the dCMS must be reported to us before the registration closes. 

Please keep in mind that passing the midterm exam (or its retake on December 20) is a prerequisite for admission to the final exam (or its retake).

The midterm exam is expected to start at 09:00 in the morning and will take about 90 minutes. We will announce further details in due time.

Special note for students enrolled in economics-related degree programmes

For many economics programmes, the registration deadline for the final exams is already on Friday, November 28, at 15:00 (see here). Make sure to register in time in the FlexNow2 portal, as you will otherwise not be able to take the final exams, even if you pass the midterm exam. 

For study programs using LSF, the registration will be open until one week before the respective final exam takes place.

For any clarifications, feel free to reach out to us in the forum.

Kind regards,
Your Programming 1 team
