Stor­age of ex­ams

If you do not have a place to store the exams on your premises, you can have the exams stored at the Central Examination Office.

The exams must then be packed separately in empty copy paper boxes, labelled according to semester, exam name and, if applicable, exam date. The examination name, semester and examination date (if applicable) must be labelled on one of the front sides and on the top of the boxes. This is the only way they will be stored by the Central Examination Office. Please make an appointment with the ZPS for storage. The boxes are stored in the examination archive near lecture theatre C2.

Stor­age of elec­tron­ic checks

The ZIM has created a digital exam repository for this purpose. You can find it in the ZIM service portal.
