New Examination Regulation 2024 and compulsory transfer
Table of contents
What is the compulsory transfer and am I affected by it?
- A new examination regulation (PO) applies to all students newly enrolled at the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the winter semester 2024/2025 (or later).
→ PO 2024 - For students enrolled earlier than winter semester 2024/2025
- in ET, IST, MT and RES the previously valid version of the examination regulations will continue to apply until summer semester 2026.
- in BMT enrolled earlier than winter semester 2024/2025, the previously valid version of the examination regulations will continue to apply until summer semester 2025.
- Compulsory transfer
- From the winter semester 2026/2027, the new PO 2024 will apply to all students of ET, IST, MT and RES enrolled at this time.
- From the winter semester 2025/2026, the new PO 2024 will apply to all students of BMT enrolled at this time.
This compulsory transfer is therefore a compulsory change of the examination regulations applicable to students and the associated study regulations (SO) during their studies.
- All students of ET, IST, MT and RES enrolled at the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering on 01.10.2026 (regardless of their original year of enrollment) are affected by the compulsory transfer if they started their studies before the winter semester 2024/25. Specifically, this means
- Students from the 2022 and 2023 enrolment years, if they have not completed their studies early (by 30.09.2026), and
- Students from enrolment years up to 2021, if the standard period of study is exceeded so that their studies are not completed by 30.09.2026.
- All students of BMT enrolled at the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering on 01.10.2025 (regardless of their original year of enrollment) are affected by the compulsory transfer if they started their studies before the winter semester 2024/25. Specifically, all students who have been enrolled on the degree program since its introduction.
What does compulsory transfer mean for me, how does it work and where can I get more information?
- All students affected by the compulsory transfer must complete their studies in accordance with the rules and regulations of the new examination regulations (PO 2024) and the associated study regulations.
- All compulsory and elective modules required under the new regulations must be successfully completed in order to graduate.
- The change from the old to the new regulations (in HISQIS / SELMA) is automatically done for students. This will be implemented by the Examination Office / Academic Affairs Office.
- An intermediate diploma completed by 30.9.2026 (ET, IST, MT, RES) or by 30.9.2025 (BMT) will be issued according to the old examination regulations.
- Modules already passed in the previous course of study (according to the old PO) will not be lost. They are mapped to modules of the new PO / SO by means of so-called equivalence tables and thus result in a new course of study (according to the new PO).
- Modules or examinations from the new PO that could not be assigned an equivalent from the old regulations must be made up for by the students. Separate information will be provided for these cases.
In the course of the winter semester 2024/25, there will be an information event for each degree program with detailed information on the compulsory transfer.
