    Registration is done via the Electronic Guide Card. You can find a guide to the registration process of the final theses on the homepage of the Instituts für Wirtschaftsinformatik. The registration does not take place directly via FlexNow.

Registration in SAP

  • all degree programmes

    Once you have arranged supervision for your final thesis with a supervisor, you can register your thesis in SAP.

    To do so, shortly before your intended start date, register your thesis using the SAP app "Final Thesis (Registration)". Please enter a proposed thesis title and select your first examiner. Confirm your entries.

    Your first examiner will then review the registration, amend the final thesis title, and approve it in SAP. The official processing period begins once the Examinations Office has granted final approval.

    Important Information

    • The registration quarters displayed in FlexNow are not legally relevant for the registration of your final thesis in SAP.

    • Therefore, please register your thesis only shortly before the actual start of your processing period.

    • Before registering, ensure that you have agreed on the supervision of your thesis with a supervisor.

    • In particular, in Business Administration, many departments operate application and allocation procedures before assigning supervisors. Please make sure to obtain information about these procedures well in advance.

    Note on "Leitkarte"

    With the introduction of the SAP registration process, the previous registration card (Leitkarte) is no longer required and has been discontinued.

More information about theses:

  • Completion of the thesis during the course of study (bachelor's degree programmes only)

    Students in our Bachelor's degree programmes have the option of a processing period of 12 weeks, provided that the thesis is taken during the course of study. In-progress means that at the time of the topic collection not all other examination and study achievements have been taken and graded. Please put the appropriate cross on the lead card and submit a grade summary (not older than 3 days) as well. The chair will review the application and determine the processing deadline.  Submission of the application after picking up the topic is excluded.

  • Submission of the thesis

    The final theses must be submitted to the examiner in due time. Late submission will result in a grade of "not sufficient" (5.0). The thesis has to be handed in completely, especially including the declaration in lieu of an oath and the declaration of consent for the plagiarism check (both included at the end of the thesis).

    Theses must be submitted digitally only (with the exception of Bachelor's theses for examiners in law and political science). Please use the Thesis Uploader for this purpose.

  • Thesis evaluation

    The duration of the evaluation is specified in the respective examination regulations. Please refrain from asking questions before the end of the evaluation period.

  • Extension of the processing time (e.g. in case of illness)

    The application for an extension of the processing time must be submitted to the examination office at least 5 working days before the end of the processing period, including the proofs. The possibilities of an extension are defined in the respective examination regulations.

    The proof for an extension due to illness must be a certificate of incapacity for examination. A certificate of incapacity for work does not meet the requirements for an extension.

  • Return of the topic

    The return of the thesis topic is possible once. Information on the deadlines to be observed can be found in the respective examination regulations.

  • Inspection of the final thesis report

    To view the report of your thesis, please contact your supervising chair. They can provide you with access to the report during the debriefing of your thesis.
