Unless the examination regulations for the corresponding degree program specify otherwise, students are allowed four attempts at an exam. The number of attempts that students have already completed is displayed in Campus Management, as is the number of total possible attempts, e.g., “1/4” – the first of four possible attempts. A student is considered to have attempted an examination following their allocation to an examiner – not once a grade has been recorded. If a student withdraws from an obligatory examination date, the number of attempts remains visible. However, the number of attempts will not be increased on the next examination date.

Please note that a student’s final examination attempt must always be evaluated by two members of staff who are qualified to perform assessments.

If the student does not pass the exam on their final attempt, they are not allowed any more attempts, nor will Campus Management permit any more attempts to be registered.

For more information, see: Important Regulations for Module Exams.

Following the amendment made to Section 30.4.1 of the Berlin Higher Education Act (BerlHG), students who receive departmental academic advising receive an additional attempt on top of the number specified in their examination regulations.
