Your study regulations specify how long you can withdraw from an exam without giving a reason. If this period has already passed, you can only withdraw in the case of illness. If you are suffering from a severe psychological strain that makes it impossible for you to take the exam at this time, it is possible to withdraw from the exam with a medical certificate.
You can find information about this on the websites of your examination offices or in your study regulations.
If you are experiencing a crisis, we recommend that you seek help. You can find appropriate resources here.
If you are on sick leave for at least six weeks, you have the option of taking a leave of absence from your studies. Your enrollment status is then suspended. You will not attend classes or take exams.
Please note! A leave of absence can affect your residence permit and your financial support for your studies. Therefore, it is recommended that you seek appropriate guidance in advance.
