In the event of public transport strikes, all examinations will take place as scheduled. As a rule, withdrawal from an examination is not possible.
The Examination Board may approve exemptions in justified individual cases. This requires you to demonstrate that it was objectively impossible or unreasonable for you to make it to the examination on time. In such cases, please document your individual circumstances, e.g., possible (but unreasonable) alternative means of transport or health-related restrictions that prevented you from traveling as a result of the strike.
Should TUM issue different regulations than those outlined here for all degree programs in the event of a strike, then those regulations take precedence.
Please note the following regulations:
- If you miss a GOP exam without providinga valid medical certificate, the examination will be considered taken and failed.
- Failure to attend an examination due to illness:
Should you fall ill and be unable to attend one or more GOP examinations, you can apply for withdrawal by submitting a medical certificate from your physician.
It is important that the certificate verifies your illness on the day of the examination and provides a plausible explanation for your inability to take the examination. A brief summary of the requirements for a valid medical certificate can be found under TUM – Medical Certificates. Please pay particular attention to the section "What information must the medical certificate include?".
- Failure to attend an examination due to other reasons beyond your control:
Only reasons beyond your control will be accepted. This includes illness, accidents, or death in the family. Other reasons are possible.
If you are unsure whether a reason can be accepted, please contact the Secretary of the Bachelor's Examination Board in good time before the examination date. If the event occurs on the day of the examination, please immediately (on the day of the exam) email us at bsei.asa@xcit.tum.de.
- Abandoning an examination
If you have to abandon an examination due to sudden illness during the exam, you have to tell the supervising staff and see a doctor immediately (on the same day) in order to get a medical certificate confirming your illness.
- Attending an examination even though you are ill or have already submitted a medical certificate:
If you take an examination even though you have submitted a request for withdrawal, this will invalidate the request for withdrawal and it can no longer be enforced retrospectively.
If you choose to take part in an examination despite poor health or other circumstances that impair your performance, you cannot subsequently claim that this impairment affected your performance.
In both cases, the examination counts, even if it was failed.
If you have any questions or need clarification on the subject of withdrawing from examinations, please contact bsei.asa(at)xcit.tum.de.
If you have to withdraw from an examination due to illness, proceed as follows:
On the day of the examination, go to your doctor and have your illness confirmed (medical certificate). Please note: Certificates of incapacity for work (Arbeitsunfähigkeitsbescheinigungen) will not be accepted.
The medical certificate must include the date of the examination and clearly state why you are unable to take it. You can find all the important information under TUM – Medical Certificates under “What information must the medical certificate include?”.
If you are ill for a longer period of time, please have this certified by your doctor.
Please submit the original medical certificate and make a photocopy for yourself.
In addition, please enclose a letter (no specific format) in which you provide the following information:
- Date
- Name and address
- Student number
- Title of the missed examination(s) with examination date
As an alternative to this letter, you may use the form for Withdrawing from an Examination.
Please submit the original medical certificate and the letter within 5 working days – either by mail (with the postmark as proof of the date of posting) to
TUM
Bachelor's Examination Board EI
for the attention of Ms. Sabine Mühlthaler Arcisstr. 21 80333 Munich
or drop it in the mailbox of room N2149 (ASA EI, Theresienstraße 90, 2nd floor).
You are also welcome to send us your medical certificate by email to bsei.asa@xcit.tum.de and submit the original certificate at a later time. In any case, you will need to provide the Examination Board with the original medical certificate.
Please note that it may take several days for your medical certificate to be recorded. Please wait at least one week before inquiring about the status of your request.
If you are not ill but are still unable to attend an examination through no fault of your own, please send an email to bsei.asa@xcit.tum.de.
If students in their third semester or higher are unable to attend several examinations and the reason for missing them is not their own fault, they are advised to submit a request for withdrawal from the examination with the required supporting documents.
These documents can be used if, due to these reasons beyond your control, you later find yourself in conflict with the Academic Progress Checks. In the event of such a conflict, you can submit a request for an extension to the Bachelor's Examination Board. The Bachelor's Examination Board reviews these requests on a case-by-case basis and uses the supporting documents to decide whether an extension of the deadline to take the exam can be granted. Should an extension be granted, the maximum duration of studies will be extended by one semester.
If you have any questions, please contact the Secretary of the Bachelor's Examination Board.

Please follow these steps when withdrawing from an examination:
- Immediately submit a written request for withdrawal by email (on the same day as the examination)
- Provide supporting documents: in the case of illness, a medical certificate; in the case of other reasons beyond your control, other supporting documents.
How should the request for withdrawal be submitted?
The request for withdrawal must be submitted in writing, without any specific format, enclosing the supporting documents and providing:
- student number
- date
- missed examination(s) including date
- reasons for failure to attend
via email to msei.asa@xcit.tum.de.
Reasons for withdrawing from an examination:
Only reasons beyond the student's control will be accepted. These include, for example: illness, accidents, or death in the family.
If it is unclear whether a reason can be accepted, this must be clarified in good time before the examination date during the Secretary of the Master's Examination Board's office hours.
If an examination is taken:
If you have to abandon the examination due to sudden illness during the exam, you have to tell the supervising staff and submit a request for withdrawal by email immediately (on the same day). Additionally, you need to see a doctor to get a medical certificate for the exact day of the examination, which must be submitted afterwards.
If you take an examination even though you have submitted a request for withdrawal, this will invalidate the request for withdrawal and it can no longer be enforced retrospectively.
If you choose to take part in an examination despite poor health or other circumstances that impair your performance, you cannot subsequently claim that this impairment affected your performance.
