FlexNow is one of two IT systems used to manage exams at RUB. It consists primarily of ...a website. Exam offices also use FlexNow’s Windows applications. FlexNow is primarily used by three groups of users:
Students: For students, FlexNow is a website—the so-called student interface—that allows them to register for exams or withdraw from them. Students can also view their grades and obtain a tabular overview of their grades as a PDF document. Information on which RUB students can use FlexNow can be found on the "FAQ" subpage, which can be accessed via the main menu on this page.
Examiners: The term "examiners" refers both to instructors who grade exams (managed with FlexNow) and to their deputies, who enter the exam results provided by the examiners. Examiners and deputies also use the FlexNow website. These users can generate lists of exam participants for an exam using FlexNow, and can enter individual grades as well as upload entire grade lists. To access FlexNow as an examiner or deputy, a corresponding application must be submitted. Further information can be found on the "For Attendants" subpage in the main menu of this website.
To log in to the FlexNow website, please click the "Login with mobile phone App" button below. However, two-factor authentication must be enabled for your RUB login ID to log in. Introductory documentation can be found after clicking the gray "Instructions & Privacy" button below the prominent login button.
Examination Offices: Staff in the examination offices of the engineering faculties, the Faculty of Computer Science, and the Faculty of Economics at Ruhr University Bochum (RUB) primarily use the FlexNow modules rather than the FlexNow website. A module is a program that functions like a program installed on your own computer. It allows you to view and modify the academic progress data of individual students and groups of students. It also enables the creation of numerous printed documents, such as certificates. To access FlexNow as an examination office employee, you must submit a corresponding application. Further information can be found on the "For Attendants" page in the main menu of this website.
