De-registration from an exam
You can only de-register from an exam if you have a valid reason for not taking it (for instance due to illness).
Resitting an exam
For exams with mandatory registration, the following regulation applies:
If you fail an exam or do not take an exam you are registered for without a valid reason, you need to resit the exam at the earliest opportunity. As a rule, you will be registered by Student Services (mandatory registration). The mandatory registration will be renewed until you either pass the exam or fail the exam with no option to resit.
For exams with self-registration, the following regulation applies:
If the next possible examination date is in the same semester (alternate examination dates in February or August), you will be registered by Student Services (mandatory registration). This applies to exams taken in an elective module in Business Administration (Wahlbereich BWL). If the next possible examination date is in the following semester, you must register for the exam yourself via the student portal.
