In the event of illness, you must submit a sick note stamped and signed by your doctor (Krankschreibung) to the Faculty Service Office immediately – i.e., within the three days following the examination. If a sick note is not received by the Faculty Service Office in time, you will be required to submit a medical certificate (ärztliches Attest). To ensure that a conclusive and specific certificate is submitted, the Examinations Committee will provide you with a form to give to your doctor. Please ensure that the certificate is filled out correctly, and especially that it contains the practice stamp and the doctor's signature.

In general, the decision about whether an illness is a valid justification for not attending an examination will be made by the Examinations Committee.

In the event that an examination must be interrupted due to illness, special conditions apply. More information can be obtained from the Examinations Committtee.

In the case of a supplementary oral examination, an oral examination, or a colloquium, the examiner must be informed that the examination cannot take place due to illness.

If you fall ill while preparing a presentation or a take-home essay/exam, you can apply for an extension of the submission deadline. You will need to submit your request to the Examinations Committee and provide a medical certificate (ärtzliches Attest).
