A make-up examination is an examination that could not be taken on the regular examination date due to no fault of the exam taker and may therefore be made up. The possibility of making up the examination is limited to the official date of the corresponding make-up examination. If you are also or still unable to attend on this date, the possibility of taking a make-up examination expires even if the (second) absence is not your fault.

If courses offera repeat exam as standard (e.g. exams),the make-up examination will take place on the repeat examination date .

In courses that do not offer repeat exams by default, make-up examinations are usually given during the first two weeks of the lecture period in the following semester. A make-up examination may be oral or written. The date will be determined by the Dean of Studies' Office. The Dean of Studies' Office will determine admission to the make-up examinations.

Students who miss more than five examinations during their studies—whether due to an "NE" (unexcused absence) or an excused absence followed by a make-up examination—permanently lose the right to participate in further make-up examinations. This regulation applies for the entire duration of the degree program. Students who are absent from a make-up examination without prior notice also forfeit their right to any further make-up examinations. Students with a long-term/chronic illness or other health restrictions are exempt from this rule. In these cases, we expect you to bring this to the attention of the Dean of Studies` Office at an early stage. Alternatively, you can also contact the StoB center first.
