Dispensation

When you apply for exemption, you must prove that you were unable to comply with the rule in question. Circumstances which are within your control or which could have been planned for cannot be considered exceptional (e.g. delays in uploading an assignment via the digital exam system or your wish to go on a holiday).

In your application you must:

• State the rule to which your application relates (e.g. exam conditions according to the curriculum)
• Explain the special circumstances why you can not follow that rule (e.g., you are suffering from dyslexia), and explain what you wish to achieve

It is important that you state the reasons for your application and attach relevant documentation for the exceptional circumstances in question (e.g. medical certificate, documentation for dyslexia, etc.)

Response to your application

Your application will be received by the Study Administration. Depending on the type of dispensation you are applying for the application will be processed by either the Study Administration or the head of programme.
