Withdrawal from an Exam
Withdrawals (after registration has been completed) can be made online up to 14 business days before the start of an oral exam or 3 business days before a written exam. You cannot withdraw from an oral exam in Selma on your own if no exam date has been entered. In this case, please contact the Examination Office by email to withdraw.
At its meeting on July 9, 2018, the Examination Committee resolved the following:
The withdrawal deadline for course-related examinations ( e.g., comprehensive projects, portfolios, course work) is set at 8 weeks prior to the mandatory completion or submission of the examination. This regulation applies starting with the Winter Semester 2018/2019.
After the withdrawal deadlines have passed, you may still withdraw from an examination for reasons beyond your control. One example of this is withdrawal due to illness. To do so, please submit the original “Medical Certificate” form and the “Notification of Withdrawal from Exams Due to Illness” form.
