Failure regulations – program failure

The MAP Office does not have information on the failure of students.
Students who are subject to the failure rule will be exmatriculated (=deregistered from the university) at the end of the semester .
It is the student’s responsibility to assess whether he/she is in danger of failing the MAP program.

No warning will be issued by the MAP office!

We therefore strongly advise to:

  • Familiarize yourself thoroughly with the examination rules of the program
  • Regularly check all your examination results on campo 
  • In case you have failed an examination:
    • go to the official post-exam review date offered by the examiners and check for possible mistakes in grading or grade calculation as well as to learn from your mistakes.
    • in case of miniproject reports or literature reviews, schedule an appointment to discuss the comments of the examiner.
  • Ask the MAP Office in case of doubt regarding your individual situation.

What happens in case you are subject to the failure rule and have failed the program:

  • Any official information is provided through the central examinations office (“Prüfungsamt”).
  • Notifications about exmatriculation are sent after the end of the respective examination period (November/December for SS; May/June for WS).
  • An objection to such notification can be filed within four weeks.
  • After four weeks the exmatriculation becomes legally binding.

You are welcome to schedule an appointment with the MAP Chairs to discuss alternative career or study plans.
