According to the examination regulations, the examination boards generally have the following composition:

Students can submit applications to the examination board responsible for their degree programme at any time. Applications must always be made in writing and include the following information:

• Name, address and matriculation number of the applicant
• Specification of the examination regulations applicable to the applicant
• Explanation of the context (including appropriate supporting documents, if necessary)
• Description of the request including a citation of the basis for the claim (paragraphs from the examination regulations)

Requests for an extension of the processing time of the thesis can be sent by email directly to the chairperson of the examination board of the respective degree programme. This email should contain:

• The name and matriculation number of the applicant
• Specification of the examination regulations applicable to the applicant
• Reasons for the application

Furthermore, the supervisor of the thesis and the secretary's office should be copied in.

If you wish to extend the processing time due to illness, an application is not necessary. Instead, submit a medical certificate to the Secretariat within your original processing time. The processing time will then be extended by the number of certified sick days.
