Exams

By booking a module you are bindingly registered for the exam. If you do not take the exam, it is considered as failed!
In the event of illness, you can submit a request for cancellation up to a maximum of five working days after the date of the exam.

Exam dates

In general, you can find the exam dates in the online course catalogue and your instructor will inform about them accordingly.

Retakes

In our compulsory lectures, a retake is offered in the same semester. If you did not pass the exam on the first date or were unable to take it, you can register for the retake exam in the same semester. You need to register yourself within the registration period. Information on the registration period can be found in the course catalog. If you do not wish to take the retake exam, you can book the module again in a subsequent semester.

Important: Whoever fails an exam twice in one of the compulsory modules will be barred from all subjects that contain that module as a mandatory module.  

In the case of elective and compulsory elective lectures, there is no possibility of repeating in the same semester. In case of failed attempts in compulsory elective lectures (subject areas of communication science), you may re-book the module in the following semester. Elective lectures (Further Subject Areas in Communication Science; Research Areas in Communication Science; Research Areas in Communication Science) are offered once and must be substituted. 

Exam clashes

If the exams for two modules take place at the same time you can submit a request to cancel one of the modules outside the cancellation period. Please use the app "my requests" in the student portal and provide the relevant details in the course catalog, including the module number and the title of the event.

If your request is granted, your registration for one of the two exams will be canceled and you can register for the repeat exam in the module in question, if a repeat exam is offered in the same semester. In this case the first exam does not count as a failed attempt. If no repeat exam is on offer, the module will be canceled and you will have to book it again the following semester.

Procedure for withdrawing from examinations due to illness

In the event of illness you can submit a withdrawal request up to five working days after the date of the assessment. Please use the app "my requests" in the student portal.
The subsequent assertion of reasons for absence, that relate to an assessment that has already been taken, is generally excluded.
