We recommend that you regularly check that all achievements registered and entered in your campo account are correct and report any discrepancies immediately to the relevant point of contact in the Examinations Office by email, stating your student registration number and a brief description of the problem.
Students must register correctly via campo in order to take examinations.
Please note that you must withdraw from an examination properly if you do not intend to attend the examination after registering for it. If you are unable to sit an examination due to illness, you require a medical certificate from a doctor. Further information for the degree program is available in the valid version of the degree program and examination regulations.
Enrollment in the relevant degree program is a requirement for participation in a (resit) examination.
We would urge you to only take part in examinations if you are not showing any symptoms of illness. We would ask anyone with symptoms associated with Covid-19 (acute, unspecific general symptoms, a loss of taste and/or smell, respiratory symptoms irrespective of severity) to get tested before attending the examination.
You will be required to submit a doctor’s certificate if you have symptoms of illness. Further information about the requirement for a doctor’s certificate is available on the relevant websites of the Examinations Office for the relevant degree program (Degree programs of the Faculty of Engineering / Degree programs of the Faculty of Medicine / Degree programs of the Faculty of Sciences / Degree programs of the Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Theology / Degree programs of the Faculty of Business, Economics, and Law without Law / Law / Teaching degree programs GS/MS / Teaching degree programs RS/GY/BS).
Please note:
- Doctor’s certificates issued via tele/online medical services (e.g. after a video consultation) are not valid for withdrawing correctly from an examination. We can only accept certificates issued by a doctor who has carried out an examination of the student in their medical practice in person.
- Doctor’s certificates must be submitted in the original (in paper form).
In the event of a coronavirus infection on the examination day, a rapid test taken at an official test center on the day of the examination replaces the need to submit a doctor’s certificate. If a coronavirus infection has been confirmed via a PCR test before the examination day, this positive PCR test replaces the need to submit a doctor’s certificate. A positive PCR test is valid as proof of an infection for 10 days.
The rules for terminating an examination are stipulated in the relevant examination regulations. You can withdraw from an examination via campo within the deadline stipulated in the examination regulations. It is not possible to withdraw after the examination has begun.
The provisions governing terminating an examination after the examination has begun are stipulated in the relevant examination regulations. Students may require a medical certificate from an official medical examiner to terminate an examination if this is stipulated in the examination regulations.
Rules governing examinations for State Examinations are stipulated in the relevant examination regulations and announcements from the examination authorities.
