• Notices (last updated on 28.10.2013)
  

1. What should I do in case of illness?

If you are unable to appear for an examination due to valid reasons, you will need to comply with certain requirements.

You must notify the Examinations Office (Prüfungsamt) in writing of your reasons for not being able to take the examination within three working days of the examination. The written statement is to include your name, address, programme of study, enrolment number, the examination you missed, and the date of the examination.

In case of illness, a medical certificate must be submitted in the original (not by e-mail/fax); it must generally be based on a medical examination conducted on the day of the missed examination. If the medical certificate is in the form of a printout, make sure it includes the doctor’s stamp. Upon request, the University can also provide a template (as a PDF file) that can be used by the doctor. 

2. What information needs to be included on the medical certificate?

The kind of medical certificate that only confirms your inability to work or take the examination will not be accepted.

In the medical certificate, the doctor should describe the health impairment (pain, fever, disorder, difficulty concentrating) concretely enough that the administration or board of examiners is able to make a decision on this basis. In case of a visit to the doctor’s office or outpatient treatment, the reason for not being able to take the examination must be evident (e.g. bed rest, demonstrated inability to make it to the examination or take the examination without considerable difficulty or without making your condition worse). The type of illness you have is not decisive.

Alternatively, with your permission the doctor may include a diagnosis in the certificate (as opposed to a detailed description) in order to clearly demonstrate you inability to take the examination.

Exam stress, fluctuations in one’s schedule, and other short-term psychological complaints are not taken to be considerable impairments to taking an examination.

A medical certificate from any established doctor generally suffices. However, in some cases, the Examination Office may require an official medical certificate.

If you are treated in a hospital on the day of the examination, you will need to submit a certificate issued by the hospital.

Approval of the medical certificate is then documented in the examination administration system; you will not receive any separate notification.

3. What about medical confidentiality?

By requesting a certificate demonstrating your inability to take an examination, you waive your right to medical confidentiality with regard to the required information. That is a key difference between a medical certificate that demonstrates your inability to take an examination and the kind of certificate that is submitted to one’s employer.

For this reason, you should be aware that limiting or omitting certain information may be to your disadvantage. It is therefore in your own interest to ask the doctor to include the actual circumstances that prevented you from taking the exam as precisely as possible. Doing so gives the administration or board of examiners a better basis for approving your request.
