Binding Directives

• The "Binding Directives to the Examination Schedule" (PDF, 50 kB) are always a fixed component of the examination schedule.
• As a basic rule, only take examinations if you are in perfect health. Otherwise you are accepting the risk of failing as you would not be in any way entitled to a cancellation.

Before the start of the examination session:

Withdrawal

• Up until Sunday at midnight (24:00 hours) one week before the start of the examination session through myStudies.
  ATTENTION: The latest deadline for deregistering has been postponed by one week as of Summer Session 2009!
  
• Please note:
  For all session examinations rescheduled to an earlier date outside of the examination session: no later than two weeks before the examination date in question.
• See also "Withdrawal"
  

Once the examination session has started:

• The next steps (e.g. whether other examinations are taken or not) are discussed with the Examinations Office by telephone.
