Instructions for registering and deregistering examinations

Leave of absence

No first examinations may be taken during a semester's leave of absence. Exceptions apply in the case of leave due to maternity protection/parental leave or care of close relatives. However, participation in repeat examinations is possible. In these cases, registration is made via the examination administration, since direct registration via TUMonline is not possible.

If you miss to register for an exam in time it is possible to register subsequently. In this case please complete this form, ask your examiner to sign it and hand it in to the Examination Board Master Research on Teaching and Learning.

For repetitions § 24 APSO applies. Thereafter, module examinations can be repeated as often as desired, taking into account the study progress monitoring.

In the case of illness, you can withdraw from examinations. Please be sure to read the information provided by the TU München.

In order to avoid disadvantages, you should always obtain a certificate immediately and submit it to the examination administration as soon as possible. Please pay attention to the the requirements for medical certificates in case of acute illnesses.

In the case of the Master's thesis, the processing time is suspended for the duration of the illness stated in the certificate. Please therefore also inform your supervisor. Special regulations will be published on the page of the examination board.

For further information, please chek the information provides by the TUM Center for Study and Teaching under special attention of the requirements for the medical certificate.

Since 01.01.2018, the Maternity Protection Act (MuSchG) also applies to female students during their studies.

During the maternity protection period (usually 6 weeks before the birth until 8 weeks after the birth, in exceptional cases longer) there is a relative ban on examinations. This means that pregnant students and nursing mothers do not have to take part in examinations during this period. Pregnant students and breastfeeding mothers may also be exempted from other compulsory attendance events (seminars, excursions, laboratory work, internships, etc.).

There is no obligation to report pregnancy or breastfeeding, but this is recommended. Further information can be found here: www.tum.de/en/studies/support-and-advice/children-care-of-relatives/maternity-protection-parental-leave
