Both documents must be submitted to your examination team no later than five days after the exam date. Certificates created for a fee by online vendors will not be accepted.
Repeated withdrawal from an exam due to illness
Depending on the module examination, withdrawal the day of an examination due to illness is permitted a maximum of two times with a sick note (Gelber Schein). If your doctor only takes electronic sick notes from January 2023, you may be able to obtain and present a replacement certificate or you may already have to have a detailed sick note (Attest) when you first report sick. Should this happen a third time, you must submit a detailed sick note (Attest) or equivalent detailed written statement from your physician in addition to your declaration of withdrawal. Both documents must be submitted to your examination team no later than five days after the exam date. The Attest cannot be issued after the exam date.
The relevant examination board for your degree program will make a decision regarding your inability to take the exam on the basis of the doctor’s information. The rule applies regardless of which attempt (first, second, last) and regardless of whether the withdrawals due to illness are successive.
