Special rules for first-year exams

There are special rules for withdrawal from courses included in the first-year exam on your degree programme.

• Check if your exam is a first-year exam

Special rules for the first semester of Master’s degree programmes and supplementary subjects

Since you are not enrolled on your Master’s degree programme or supplementary subject by the deadline for withdrawal in the previous semester, there are special deadlines.
In the second semester of your Master’s degree programme or supplementary subject, the normal deadlines apply.

• First semester in the autumn semester: 5-10 August
• First semester in the spring semester: 1 February at the latest

Special rules for Master’s and Bachelor’s degree students in International Business Communication enrolled in 2016 or earlier

• Master’s and Bachelor’s degree students in International Business Communication can withdraw from the ordinary exam (first exam attempt) up to 2 weeks before the examination date. 
• It is not possible, however, to withdraw from the second or third exam attempt once the registration period has expired.

As a Professional Master’s degree student, single-course student or part-time student you will be registered automatically for exam(s) in the course(s) you are taking. However, as a Professional Master’s degree student, single-course student or part-time student you are allowed to withdraw from an exam registration and re-register for it in another semester. Please do so in the exam check and registration periods:

• 15-28 February
• 15-30 September

Please always check within these periods that you have been correctly registered for exams.

Withdrawing from exams on time

What is the deadline for withdrawing from an exam registration?

• You may withdraw your exam registration up to a week (7 days) before the day of the exam.
• In the case of written exams, ‘the day of the exam’ counts as either the day you were supposed to submit an assignment on topic of your own choice or the day the assignment formulation for a set assignment is to be released.
• In the case of oral examinations that are distributed over several days, the deadline for withdrawing your registration is a week before the first day oral examinations in the course take place, regardless of the date scheduled for your particular examination.
