FAQs

What are the rules and deadlines for examinations/re-examinations?

Exam registration and deregistration

Examination registration takes place during the official registration period via Primuss.
Proper withdrawal from an examination is possible up to the eighth day before the examination. From the seventh day before the examination, the system is blocked.
Attention: "If there is no effective withdrawal after this date and the student has missed the examination for reasons for which he/she is responsible, the grade "not sufficient" is to be awarded".

Deadlines and dates for repeat examinations / foundation and orientation examinations

The first repeat examination (second attempt) usually takes place after a maximum of six months (= in the following semester). The second repeat examination (third attempt) must be taken within a period of twelve months (= after two semesters) after the result of the assessment of the previous repeat examination has been announced.
Please note: There is no automatic registration for the examination. The examination must be registered for during the regular registration period. If the examination is not repeated in due time, a deadline five is automatically assigned.

For an overview of the foundation and orientation examinations of a degree programme, please refer to the respective study and examination regulations.
If these are not taken for the first time in the required semester, you will automatically receive a deadline five. This is when the process of retaking examinations begins.

Even if not all examinations have been taken for the first time at the end of the standard period of study, you will still receive a deadline five!

Case of illness

If you fall ill after the withdrawal period of a registered examination, a medical certificate is required. Only the following certificate may be accepted:

The certificate must be issued by the doctor on the day of the examination at the latest. The original of this certificate must be submitted to the Study Centre within three working days (Mon-Fri) after the examination. If another certificate or the certificate is submitted late, the grade 5.0N (administrative five) will be awarded.

See Higher Education Law: Framework Examination Regulations of the Bavarian Universities (RaPO), General Examination Regulations (APO) of the DIT, Study and Examination Regulations (for each degree programme).

What happens if I fail an exam for the third time?

You have three chances to pass an exam, when you sit it for the third time you are required to pass otherwise you cannot continue on your chosen course and will be deregistered. You could possibly begin another degree course at DIT, or start to study at another university. The examination committee will decide if you can begin another degree course in a higher semester or if you must start from the beginning. All this depends of course on your legal obligations if you are not an EU citizen. Please be aware that for every application an individual application must be made.

We recommend that you contact the International Office and your assistant in the faculty to talk about your options.

You could also use our exam support und psycho social support.

What can I do if I am deregistered after failing my third exam attempt?

You are not qualified to repeat you studies on same course at DIT again.

It is possible to apply at DIT for the first semester and a higher semester for other degree programmes (during the application deadlines)

If you wish to change to a degree programme at another university, please contact the university of your choice directly to find out whether a change is possible.

If you have not sent an application during the application deadlines, please enquire at DIT or other universities about an extended application deadline.

I would like to change universities. What do I need to consider?

Changing universities in Bavaria is no problem with regard to the course of studies and the examination regulations in the same degree programme.

However, the prerequisite is a timely application for enrolment or admission to the host university and de-registration at the Deggendorf Institute of Technology.

Changing from a Bavarian university to a non-Bavarian university or vice versa will, however, pose problems in most cases. In addition to the recognition of the higher education entrance qualification, difficulties may also arise in the recognition of study periods and examination credits already earned due to the different curricula and the differing examination regulations.

After passing the Bachelor's examination, graduates of the Deggendorf Institute of Technology are entitled to transfer to a university, university of the arts or comprehensive university without restriction to one subject area.

The individual requirements for enrolement in a subject area at the university concerned remain unaffacted.

I am not satisfied with my course. Can I change courses?

Yes, a change of course is generally possible. Please use the regular online application procedure. Admission to the first semester follows after the normal selection process and admissions to higher semesters are only possible when there are free places on the chosen course and all prerequisites are fulfilled.

Any previous exam results will be reviewed and credited wherever possible during the enrolment process.

Contact: international-office@th-deg.de

How long can I study?

If the standard study period is exceeded by more than two semesters, all bachelor's and master's exams for which have not yet been taken for the first time are evaluated as failed due to absence.

We recommend that you sit all the appropiate exams as described in the Academic Regulations, so you don't get behind with your credits.

Contact the International Office and your assistant in the faculty to talk about your options.
