Teaching and examination law
Exam results define the success of your studies, which is why exams are part of everyday life at universities. As a result, there are some questions which are asked frequently:
- What do I need to observe when withdrawing from an exam?
- Which rules apply when retaking an exam?
- What are the special requirements for multiple-choice questions?
- What are my rights when reviewing your results?
- How can I appeal an exam ruling?
- What needs to be considered concerning compulsory attendance?
For faculty and subject-specific questions, the student councils are the first point of contact.
