Withdrawal due to illness or absence without fault

Withdrawal after the deadlines specified in the applicable examination regulations must be notified immediately in written form to the Examination Office and must be substantiated (see examination regulations).
In case of withdrawal due to illness, the Request for withdrawal from examinations due to illness and the Medical Certificate form must be used. These certificates must be submitted in the original, no later than 5 business days after the examination date, and can be sent by post or inserted in one of the available official letterboxes/deadline mailboxes of the TUD. It is not possible to send them by e-mail.
The official letterboxes at the TU Dresden for medical certificates with deadlines can be found here.

The envelope must contain the complete address (see below), otherwise the letters cannot be correctly assigned and your withdrawal cannot take effect:

TU Dresden
Fakultät Informatik
Prüfungsamt | [Ihr Studiengang]
01062 Dresden

These letterboxes are emptied daily by the postal service and are date stamped.

In principle, a withdrawal due to illness must be asserted *before* the examination. Declarations of withdrawal which are only received by the examination board after the examination date without participation in the examination and which are based on reasons which already existed before the examination date cannot be accepted.
If you take part in an examination, you are declaring that you are fit to take the examination without being able to subsequently claim that you have health problems.
Finally, we draw your attention to the fact that your withdrawal only becomes legally binding once it has been approved by the examination board. If the resignation is not approved by the examination board, you will receive a written form with instructions on how to appeal.
