New Regulationc concerning Exams in times of pandemics

Hey folks,

some of you wrote to the examination board in connection to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic. Acting on those requests, the following regulations have been made:

1. The summer semester 2020 does not count towards the 15 month deadline to repeat failed exams. To be precise: The days from April 1st, 2020 to September 30th 2020 will not be counted.
2. There have been several requests concerning the possibility to participate in written exams online, without having to be physically present in Magdeburg (be it for health concerns or for travel restrictions). Unfortunately, this will not be possible due to both legal and organizational reasons. Physical presence will therefore be required to participate in written exams.

Exceptionally this semester, if you are absent from an exam for whatever reason, this will be counted as a withdrawal from the exam, meaning that this exam attempt will then not be counted. There is no need to provide any justification for this.

Cheers,

Dominik Weitz
student member of the examination board
