Examinations

All examinations, including internships, seminars and excursions, must be recorded in the Campus Management System (CAS) must be registered.
There are various forms of examination:

• Written examination (graded, two retakes possible)
• Oral examination (graded, one retake possible)
• Examination of another type (graded, one opportunity to resit, usually consists of various examination components such as a test, minutes and a presentation)
• Coursework (always ungraded, usually practical, but can also be oral or written)

If you are unable to register for an examination, please contact Dr. Urszula Weclawski at least one week before the examination date.

Important Information on Participating in All Types of Assessments

Assessments include written exams, oral exams, examinations of other types, and coursework. In order to participate, students must register online in the student portal within the deadlines set by the examiners. If participation in a registered assessment becomes impossible, students must withdraw from the respective assessment within the designated deadline. The following must be observed:

Written Examinations:

A failed examination may be re-examined once. If the re-examination is also failed, an oral re-examination will follow. Withdrawals without providing a reason are permitted up until the exam papers are handed out. Withdrawal can be made (1) via the student portal (CMS) until 24:00 (midnight) on the day before the exam, or (2) directly before the exam, either in person with the examiner or via the student email address (xxxx ∂does-not-exist.student kit edu). If option (1) and/or (2) are not met, a medical certificate may be required (e.g., in the case of illness of the student, a child under the student’s sole care, or a dependent in need of care). Withdrawal from a scheduled oral re-examination must be submitted in writing to the examination board and must be properly substantiated.

Oral Examinations:

A failed oral examination may be re-examined once. Withdrawals without providing a reason must be made at least three working days in advance via the student portal (CAS). If the three-day deadline is not met, the reason must be submitted to the examination board immediately in writing and credibly substantiated. In the case of illness of the student, a child under the student’s sole care, or a dependent in need of care, a medical certificate may be required.

Examinations of another type:

An examination of another type may only be repeated once. Such examinations can consist of multiple components. The overall grade is calculated based on the performance in each individual component (see modules and partial assessments). If the examination consists of several components, it is considered passed if the overall grade is at least "sufficient" (4.0). This means that the examination must be passed as a whole, and not necessarily in each individual component. Withdrawals without providing a reason must be made at least three working days in advance via the student portal (CMS) and by email directly to the examiner. If the three-day deadline is not met, the reason must be submitted to the examination board immediately in writing and credibly substantiated. In cases of illness of the student, a child under their sole care, or a dependent in need of care, a medical certificate may be required.

Coursework:

Coursework may be repeated multiple times. Withdrawals without providing a reason must be made at least three working days in advance via the student portal (CMS) and by email directly to the examiner. If the three-day deadline is not met, the reason must be submitted to the examination board immediately in writing and credibly substantiated. In cases of illness of the student, a child under their sole care, or a dependent in need of care, a medical certificate may be required.
