Submission of Term Papers via Prüfungs-ILIAS
Starting in the spring semester 2026, all term papers can be submitted via Prüfungs-ILIAS.
The digital submission of term papers will be transferred from the normal ILIAS platform to Prüfungs-ILIAS. This is to relieve the workload of ILIAS and to ensure that you can now find all examinations in one place in Prüfungs-ILIAS. Security precautions, performance, and the connection to the digital student file are also better ensured by using Prüfungs-ILIAS.
You set up your course(s) in Prüfungs-ILIAS at pruefung.uni-mannheim.de. All examination courses for which you are registered as a course admin are displayed here.
Step-by-step instructions on how to set up a course can be found in the Quick Guide.
Important steps
How is the course created in Prüfungs-ILIAS?
After Student Services have created the examination with the term paper as examination form in Portal², a corresponding course is exported to Prüfungs-ILIAS. The responsible examiners are stored here as course admins. If additional people need access, they can be added by all course admins.
After registering for the exam and the term paper as examination form during the exam registration in Portal2, the students will see the examination course in Prüfungs-ILIAS the next business day.
Who sets the submission deadline?
You set the individual submission deadlines in your modules yourself and communicate them to the students. Please note: Students are able to change their upload until the deadline is reached. So please start downloading the submissions only after the deadline is over.
How do I handle deadline extensions?
In some cases, students need more time for their paper, e.g., due to illness or for similar reasons. You may set these individual extended deadlines at your own discretion in Prüfungs-ILIAS. For the steps required to do so, please see the Quick Guide.
How do students have to confirm that they have completed their term paper independently?
The declaration of originality is part of the submission process. By completing Step 1 in Prüfungs-ILIAS, students confirm that they have completed their paper independently. In this step, a text box including a passage to this effect is displayed. Students no longer have to submit a separate signed printout of the declaration of originality.
Where do I find the submitted term papers?
In your exam course, click on “Step 2” and then on the “Submission and grades” tab. All term papers are stored there and can be downloaded as often as you like. To do so, navigate to the very right. Click on “Actions” and then on “Download submission.”
How do I deal with problems?
Contact the Digital Examinations Team at any time if you have any problems with the setup: e-pruefunguni-mannheim.de.
If students are unable to view the examination course, please refer them directly to the responsible Student Services advisor.
