Overview of forms

Here you will find a thematic overview of all forms relevant to your studies and examinations:

  • General forms (Form 05 (BAföG), Form 10 (BAföG),
    accident report for students)
  • Examination forms (declaration of waiver, form for certification of inability to take examinations and application for withdrawal due to illness, application for registration and extension of final theses)
  • Degree program-related forms for examinations (degree programs Diplom Informatik, CMS, DSE)
  • Forms for the recognition of study and examination achievements
  • Examination law applications/documents (certificate application, information on the certificate of completion, certificate of achievement (80% certificate), clearance certificate)

Processing instructions:

  • Please use the form function of the PDFs.
    If the PDFs have drop-down menus, these may not work in older PDF readers and browser applications. Please download the file and use a current PDF reader to open it so that all form functions work.
  • All forms are writable PDFs. Please complete the forms digitally only. Forms filled out by hand must be rejected to avoid errors.
  • Forms must always be printed out and signed with an original signature. Digital signatures or PAD signatures are not legally binding signatures and are therefore not permitted and will be rejected by the Examination Office.
  • The printed and signed forms must be submitted by post or in person to the Examination Office for Computer Science. Forms submitted by e-mail will not be processed.

General forms

  • Forms for the certificate of benefit Form 05 according to § 48 BAföG and Form 10 as well as instructions from the BAföG Office on how to apply can only be found on the BAföG Office website.
    Important: Please submit the original Forms 05 and 10 (printed and signed) to the Examination Office for Computer Science.
    Forms submitted by e-mail will not be accepted.

  • Student accident report and information on accident insurance

Forms for examinations

  • Waiver declaration (waiver of an examination attempt)
    Note: Please submit the original waiver form (printed and signed) to the Computer Science Examination Office

  • Withdrawal due to illness (from 01.01.2025)
    In the event of withdrawal due to illness, the
    Form for certification of inability to take the examination and
    Application for withdrawal due to illness/extension of thesis due to illness.
