Illness
– If you are unable to take the exam due to illness or are unable to meet the paper submission deadline, you must provide a doctor's note to the exam administrator. The study offices are the point of contact for all examinations that do not relate to the final module. For the final module (B.A./M.A.-Work etc.) the examination office is responsible.
According to the letter of the Ministry of Education, Science, Youth and Culture (MBWJK) of 22.12.In 2009, the examination offices are required to proceed as follows: In the case of a first-time illness, a simple medical certificate without further details is sufficient, which only certifies the inability to take the examination from a medical point of view. From the second notice of sickness on, you have the following option: Either you bring an official medical certificate or you present a qualified certificate of the treating physician. Qualified medical certificates must u.A. Include information on the impairment caused by the illness (description of symptoms) as well as explanations of how this affects the examinee's ability to perform. See z.B. OVG Lüneburg, judgment of 15.09.1998 – 10 L 3178/96, KMK-HSchrR/NF 21 C.1 No. 30; VG Minden, GB of 25.01.2000 – 2 K 3874/99, NWVGl. 2000, 232 as well as VG Saarlouis, judgment of 21.05.2001 – 1 K 7/99 – (n.V.).
