Additional examination attempts

If you have registered for an exam to improve your grade, you can withdraw from the exam during the usual withdrawal period. This will automatically cancel your application to retake an exam to improve your grade. In this case, your are not using one of your four additional attempts, however, you will not be able to use an additional attempt for this particular exam at a later date and you will keep your orignal grade.

In case of an excused withdrawal (e.g. due to health reasons) from the next possible exam date, you need to re-register for your additional attempt for the following exam period, irrespective of whether you are retaking the exam to improve your grade or after you have failed it three times. If you do not re-register for the following exam period, you lose one of your additional attempts. An excused withdrawal from the following examination date is possible and the same regulations apply.
