PSSO: Online Examination and Student Services

At TH Köln, examinations are managed in two systems: Online Examination and Student Services (PSSO) and the campus management system (CaMS). Depending on your program, the examination management is handled either in CaMS with the new feature or still in PSSO.

You can use PSSO to register for or deregister from examinations and print certificates/confirmations and transcripts of records yourself, without contacting the Office of Student and Examination Services.

Please note: The examination management is being moved to the campus management system (CaMS) step by step.
Some programs are already using the new examination management feature in CaMS, while all others are still using PSSO. In the timeline and cluster overview, you can check if your program has already moved to CaMS.

Examination management in PSSO

In the examination services section (called 'Administration of exams'), you can register for and deregister from an examination and verify that you are properly registered for an exam. You also receive information on exams that you have registered for and have the option to print a transcript of records.

If the examination management for your program has already moved to CaMS, these functions are now available for you there.

Student administration in CaMS

Go to TH Köln's campus management system (CaMS) to update your contact information, get information on fees and payments, or if you need a certificate of enrollment or BAFöG certificate. 

TH Köln's examination management is being moved to the campus management system (CaMS) step by step.
Some programs are already managing their exams in CaMS, while all others are still using PSSO.

In PSSO, teaching staff and examiners can enter results of examinations and coursework themselves and generate grade overview reports.

1. Overview of examination registrations
Information such as the number of students currently registered for an examination can be useful when preparing an exam. It helps to determine what room size is required or how much time is needed.

2. Entering grades and results
PSSO facilitates and accelerates the transmission of exam results. You no longer need to send the file listing all grades/results to the Office of Examination Services after entering the grades into the system.

Students can access PSSO with their campusID once they have activated it.
Teaching staff and examiners have their access activated by the responsible Office of Examination Services. As soon as their access is granted, they can log in to PSSO with their campusID.

Please note:
As of mid-November 2025, logging in to PSSO is only possible with the campusID and the activated multi-factor authentication (MFA) method.
This applies to students as well as teaching staff and examiners.

General information about your campusID and help with problems regarding login details, passwords or the MFA can be obtained from our Campus IT.
