§ 10
Assessment of examination performances, formation and weighting of grades
(1) The formation of grades for the respective examination performances belongs to the respective examiners. For
the assessment of examination performances the following grades have to be used:
12 3 4 5 -
excellent
good
satisfactory
fair
failed
(outstanding performance)
(performance considerably above the average requirements)
(performance corresponding to the average requirements)
(performance just satisfying the requirements despite deficiencies)
(performance not satisfying the requirements anymore due to considerable deficiencies)
In order to further differentiate the assessment of examination performances, the respective grades may be
enhanced or lowered by the factor 0.3 to intermediate values; though, the grades 0.7, 4.3, 4.7 and 5.3 are excluded.
In case that an examination performance is assessed by two or several examiners, the grade derives from the
arithmetic average of the individual assessments. For the formation of the arithmetic average, section 2 sentence
2 applies accordingly. Examiners are entitled to round up or down the grade for the examination performance
deriving from the arithmetic average to an entitled grade according to the sentences 2 and 3. In case that the value
of the grade exceeds 4.0, the assessment of the examination performance is “failed”.
(2) In the case that a module examination consists on several examination performances, the grade for the module
is formed by the weighted arithmetic average of the grades of the respective examination performances, otherwise
the grade of the examination performance corresponds to the grade of the module. In this respect, only the first
decimal digit after the comma without rounding up is considered, all other digits will be deleted. The grades of the
modules correspond to the following predicates:
in case of an average up to and including 1.5
in case of an average from 1.6 up to and including 2.5
in case of an average from 2.6 up to and including 3.5
in case of an average from 3.6 up to and including 4.0
in case of an average from 4.1 on
-
failed.
excellent,
good,
satisfactory,
fair,
(3) In order to complete the module Bachelor thesis, it is obligatory that the Bachelor thesis is assessed by the
grade “fair” at minimum by each of both examiners. The grade for the Bachelor thesis derives from the arithmetic
average of the grades of both examiners.
(4) For the Bachelor examination will be formed a final grade. The final grade derives from the weighted arithmetic
average of the grades of the modules including the grade of the Bachelor thesis module (cf. §25).For the formation
of the final grade section 2 sentence 2 and sentence 3 apply accordingly. 5*
(5) In the case that study performances are recognized as examination performances, they have to correspond to
examination performances in terms of kind and scope. The Bachelor examination must not predominantly consists
on the recognition of study performances. The decision on recognition belongs to the Examination Board.
§ 11
Absence, withdrawal, fraud, infringement of regulations
4
(1) The examined is entitled to withdraw from the registration for an examination performance without giving
reasons insofar he announces this to the Examination Office until one week prior to the respective examination
date.
(2) An examination performance is assessed by „failed“ (5.0) in the case that the examined misses a binding
examination date without any justifying reason or in the case that he withdraws from an examination already taken
without any justifying reason. The same applies to the case that he has not performed a written examination
performance within the predetermined processing time.
(3) The reasons claimed for justification of withdrawal or absence have to be announced in written form and in
credible manner to the Examination Board without delay. In case of illness of the examined, the submission of a
medical certificate and in case of doubt a certificate of a public health officer can be required. Insofar as the
compliance to the deadlines for the first registration for examination, the repeat of examinations, the reasons for
absence from examinations and the compliance to the processing times for examination papers are concerned, the
illness of a child for whom he cares predominantly on his own equals the illness of the examined.
(4) In the case that the Examination Board accepts the reasons according to section 3, it fixes a new examination
date in consultation with the examined.
(5) In the case that the examined attempts to exert influence on his examination performance by fraud or by use of
auxiliaries which are not permitted, the respective examination performance will be assessed by “failed” (5.0).
(6) In the case that the examined disturbs the proper implementation of an examination, the respective examiner
or the observer is entitled to exclude the examined from the continuation of the examination performance; in this
case the examination performance will be assessed by “failed” (5.0).

taken, that they are reviewed by the Examination Board.
§ 12
(not assigned)
§ 13
Completion and failure of examinations
(1) Module examinations are completed in the case they were assessed by “fair” (4.0) at minimum. In the case that
examination performances marked by “completion obligatory” within the module descriptions are assessed by
“failed”, the module examination is considered as failed. 6* Failed module examinations which are not repeated
within a period of one year (§ 14 section 1) or which were repeated but assessed by „failed“, will be considered as
failure of the module examination. In the case that an application for a second repetition of the module examination
(§ 14 section 2) was not submitted in due time, that this application could not be approved, that a second try for
examination was not performed by the next examination date possible or that this examination was assessed by
“failed”, the module examination is considered as “definitely failed”.

examination performance, it can be ordered on application of the examined or ex officio that the examination or
parts of the respective examination will be reset for an examined individually or for all examined. In this case the

(5) Irregularities within an examination procedure have to be reported without delay, at latest within one month
after the respective examination day, to the chairman of the Examination Board or to the examiner. Orders
according to section 4 can only be given up to the time that the registration for the following examination period

Repetition of module examinations
(1) In the case of failure of a module examination (module grade „failed“) it is possible to repeat this examination.

“completion obligatory” within the module descriptions which were assessed by “failed” remain unaffected and
have to be repeated. 6* A repetition of an examination is only permitted within one year. The deadline begins by
the notification on the result of the module examination. After expiry of this deadline the module examination is
considered as “failed”.
