6. Examination regulations (PO) and change of study program

How do I switch to a new examination regulations?

An informal, signed application is required, which you can either send as a scan via email to the examination office or drop into the mailbox next to the office.

When switching POs, are previous failed attempts carried over, or do you start from scratch in the new system?

Failed attempts remain on record. Only when changing the course of study (not the examination regulations) can failed attempts not be carried over.

I am studying under the old PO 2017 and I am still missing 1-3 math modules – what should I do?

According to the decision of the Faculty Council of 08.1.2025: For Mathe 1, Mathe M1 and Mathe M5 must be taken, for Mathe 2 Mathe M2, for Mathe 3 Mathe M3.

Students who have already taken a discontinued math module but failed it must repeat the module in the form of the new math modules.

Can German studies students be exempted from mandatory courses?

Yes, see SPO Appendix, Item 1, page 23.
