Should you have received an admission, first of all, please let us know if we can support you with the visa by issuing a confirmation letter or asking for an expedited procedure at your visa office.
If you won`t be able to arrive in time due to visa delays, you can start your studies later. In this case please note that you will have to catch up independently or with the help of fellow students.
There are no online or hybrid classes and lectures usually are not recorded. The professors themselves decide whether to record their lectures. You can register for the courses via TUMonline and then ask the professors to send the material or to record their lectures.
In the worst case, a delay can lead to basic hurdles (see Student Guide) not being reached and, without evidence of the delay due to a visa, this can lead to exmatriculation.
You then have the option of submitting a hardship application. You can request that you are granted one or two additional semesters to pass the basic exams. It is important that you can provide the relevant evidence regarding the late issuance of the visa. Please contact us as soon as you can foresee that your late arrival will result in a hardship application.
