The Rectorate of the RWTH decided to continue the complete free attempt regulation for the winter semester 20/21. The regulation states that students who do not pass an exam will not be given a failed attempt, provided that the exam has been taken and no cheating attempt has been made.The only change in the winter semester is that it will no longer be possible to cancel exams immediately before an exam, but 24h in advance.

In the future, we will continue to work together with the RWTH and the student councils to constantly improve the situation for students. A look at the upcoming exam phase shows that now the topic of exams under hygienic conditions and the learning room situation at the RWTH are getting more and more important. Also, examinations should not be made more difficult in general by a free trial regulation.
