2. Enclose the required supporting documents with the application. This can be:
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?")
You decide for which examinations you want to make use of the measures granted. For this reason, the examiners and the Examinations Office rely on you to register each semester for which examinations you wish to claim compensation for disadvantages.
Please register your access arrangements each semester during the registration period for the examinations using a written form “Registration for access arrangements for examinations" to the respective office responsible for organizing and conducting the examination. This is either the chair (decentralized examinations) or the Examinations Office (centralized examinations).
For examinations that are organized centrally, please contact nachteilsausgleich-studierende@uni-passau.de. For decentralized examinations, please contact the respective chair. Information on whether an examination is organized centrally or decentrally can be found at https://www.uni-passau.de/pruefungssekretariat/semesterbezogene-informationen.
