Examination office

If you fall ill, you must inform Exam Administration before the start of the examination (Email: pruefungsverwaltung.wiwi@uni-konstanz.de).

In addition, a physician of your choice must confirm that you are unable to sit the exam. In this case, you have to use the template provided by the Central Examination Office.

Please ensure that you complete the form in full (especially the examination(s) concerned, date, your signature). Please make sure that the physician enters the correct time period for your likely incapacity to sit the exam and signs and stamps the form.

It is imperative that the medical certificate is issued on the day of the examination. In the case of prolonged illness, a medical certificate can also be accepted which has been issued before the day of the examination. Medical certificates issued later cannot be accepted.
You must hand in your medical certificate to Annette Herbst on the same day, put it (or have it put) in the blue letterbox next to Room F 259 or send it by regular mail to the Department of Economics (FAO Annette Herbst).

Important: You are not (except in the case of orientation tests) automatically registered for the next possible exam date.
