Article 13 (force majeure)
§1 Students shall observe strictly the timetable and location set for an examination. In the event of circumstances beyond their control students may ask for an
exam to be rescheduled, provided that the necessary proof can be produced. Any incidence of Force Majeure and a request to re-schedule the exam as a result
thereof, must be reported by the student in writing by e-mail to the lecturer and faculty secretariat at the latest on the day of the exam. To this end the student
must duly and correctly complete the appropriate form. The various faculties shall indicate in their faculty regulations where the form can be obtained.
Original documentation to substantiate Force Majeure shall be submitted to the faculty secretariat within three calendar days of the exam date and, where
applicable, at the latest on the day of the exam in the new exam regulations. In cases of “force majeure” during the first bl ock of exams of the examination period
where it is not possible to reschedule an exam during the same exam period, the Dean may decide in extraordinary circumstances and on the basis of the evidence
submitted, to extend the period of the first block of exams or to grant permission to sit exams in the course units concerned during the second block of exams of
the examination period.
§2 The examiner shall decide whether a re-scheduled exam is organizationally possible and in the event of a positive decision shall set a new exam schedule.
The decision shall be reported to the student within 3 calendar days of receipt of the request to re-schedule the exam.
§3 Examiners shall observe strictly the timetable and location set for an examination. In cases of examiner absence and where examiners fail to send notice of
their absence the exam schedule is cancelled upon completion of a one-hour waiting period. Students shall report these circumstances without delay to the Dean
who, without prejudice to the provisions of article 9 § 4 and following consultation with the students concerned, shall draw up a new exam schedule .
Article 14 (medical certificates)
In the event that the substantiation document as outlined in article 13 is a medical certificate it must be noted that the following medical certificates shall not be
accepted:

Incomplete certificates or certificates containing contradictory information;

“Dixit” certificates (a “dixit” certificate is a doctor’s certificate based on a patient’s health claim rather than a medical examination or diagnosis);

“Post factum” certificates (which are issued after an illness or when the medical consequences of an accident are no longer apparent). A medical
certificate shall be issued on the first day of an illness or accident.
