Exam access arrangements

Students who, due to a disability or prolonged serious or chronic illness, are unable to take examinations in full or in part under the prescribed conditions or within the deadlines specified in the study and examination regulations.
You can also obtain detailed information on the granting of compensation for disadvantages from

1. You complete the Application for compensation for disadvantages.

  • You send it by post or email to the Examination Office, attn.  Mrs Walther-Oeckel, Innstraße 41, 94032 Passau

2. Enclose the required supporting documents with the application. This can be:

  • a current specialist or medical certificate
  • if available, disability certificate or other certificates

Please note: Compensation for disadvantages cannot be granted without sufficient evidence and proof. You should submit the application for compensation for disadvantages as early as possible in the semester, at the latest during the registration period. As a rule, the examination board or the examination committee will decide on your application within 4 weeks. You will receive written notification of the result.

If you have been approved for compensation for disadvantages for your entire degree course, you must still register for compensation for disadvantages for your planned examinations each semester. (see "How do I register my compensation for disadvantages for a specific examination?")

The application procedure which has been described relates to examinations for bachelor’s and master’s programmes at the University of Passau. The regulations of the respective examination offices apply for state examinations.
