1 to 16 April 2023: System freeze for implementation of EXA-P

The University of Mannheim will transfer its current examination management software (POS) to the campus management system Portal² in April 2023. During this process, all examination details (grades, coursework, etc.) will be migrated as well. From 1 April until 16 April 2023, the data will be migrated from the old system to the new system. All relevant (previous) systems will be “frozen” and some of them will be shut down. More details...

Tips for a quicker Internet connection on campus:

  • Do not use personal hot spots since they diminish the bandwidth and thus disrupt the entire network.
  • Turn off the wireless on your device, when you have taken your seat, and wait a moment. As soon as you turn the wireless on again, your device can connect to the nearest access point.

Planned maintenance work

In order to offer you fast and secure services, we regularly modernize our software and hardware. To this end, software and hardware developers provide updates, which we check and carry out swiftly, especially where critical vulnerabilities are involved. In addition, we renew, exchange and extend server and network components. In order to be able to react quickly and flexibly, we determine adaptable time frames for maintenance. This allows you to make any security-related changes swiftly and to plan for potential downtime. Of course, we aim to keep disruptions due to maintenance work to a minimum.
