- Exam registration and cancellation
Exam registration takes place during the official registration period via Primuss (please note the information e-mail from the study centre).
It is possible to withdraw from an examination in accordance with the regulations up to the eighth day before the examination. The system is blocked from the seventh day before the examination.
Please note: ‘If there is no effective withdrawal after this date and the student has missed the examination for reasons for which he/she is responsible, the grade “fail” is to be awarded’.
- Deadlines and dates for basic and orientation examinations / re-examinations
If basic and orientation examinations are not taken for the first time in the required semester as specified in the respective study and examination regulations, the examinations not yet taken are deemed to have been failed for the first time (i.e. the examination is automatically graded with a five). This marks the start of the repeat examination process.
From the winter semester 2024/25, the first repeat examination (second attempt) will generally take place after a maximum of twelve months (= after two semesters).
The second resit examination (third attempt) must be taken within a period of six months (= after one semester) after the result of the assessment of the previous resit examination has been announced.
Please note: There is no automatic exam registration. The examination must be registered for during the regular registration period. If the examination is not retaken on time, a 5.0 (= five within the deadline) is automatically awarded.
Even if not all examinations have been taken for the first time at the end of the standard period of study, a grade of 5.0 will be awarded (= five within the deadline)!
If you fall ill after the cancellation period of a registered examination, a medical certificate is required. Only the following certificate may be accepted: Certificate
The medical certificate must be issued by a doctor on the day of the examination at the latest. The original of this certificate must be submitted to the Study Centre within three working days (Mon-Fri) of the examination. If another certificate or the certificate is submitted late, a grade of 5.0N (administrative five) will be awarded.
