You will find the form for providing proof of incapacity to take examinations due to illness in the download area of this homepage.
Please note the following requirements:
As a matter of principle, medical findings are subject to medical confidentiality. If, however, you are unable to appear for an examination due to illness, you are obliged under the examination regulations and in accordance with the Higher Education Act to provide evidence of your illness to the Examination Management Office. You will need a medical certificate for this.
You must submit (in person or by post) the certificate of inability to take examinations by 3 days after the date of the examination.
To meet the deadline, you are welcome to send the certificate of inability to take the examination to the Examination Management Office in advance by email: pruefungen.wirtschaft (at) hs-mainz.de or fax: +49 6131 628-93141. In this case, the original must be promptly submitted to the Examination Management Office.
Please also note the information on the certificates of inability to take examinations in the download section.
In the case of first-time inability to take examinations, a simple medical note from the doctor without further details is sufficient. The note must certify the inability to take examinations from a medical point of view - not the inability to work. The treating physician does not have to be released from his or her obligation of confidentiality in this case.
From the second case of inability to take examinations, you have the choice of proving your inability to take examinations by means of a qualified medical certificate from the physician treating you. This certificate must contain the following information:
In order for this qualified medical certificate to be issued, it is necessary, within the scope of your duty of cooperation, that you partially release your attending physician from his/her obligation of medical confidentiality. In this way, you enable a review of your inability to take examinations. You will find more information on this below. We recommend that you use the form provided in the download section. The inability to take examinations can also be certified by the attending physician without using the form. However, the medical certificate may be rejected by the Examination Board if required information is missing.
Alternatively, you can immediately arrange an appointment to be examined by the medical service of the city of Mainz or the Public Health Office (Gesundheitsamt) and provide an official medical certificate confirming your inability to take the examination.
If you are repeatedly unable to take examinations - i.e. if you were unable to take at least five examinations in at least two semesters - you will always need an official medical certificate for each additional examination.
The same applies if you have already started the examination and assert that you are unable to take the examination. If an examination is interrupted due to illness, the supervising persons must be informed.
Please note the following resolution of the Examination Board:
With regard to a visit to a public health officer in the evening or on Saturday, the Examination Board adopts the following resolution (No 3/2017 of 12.01.2017):
If students must assert their inability to take the examination due to illness after the start and/or after the end of an examination which is taken at times when a public health officer is not available, for example in the evening or on Saturdays, in order to prove their inability to take the examination due to illness, they may be required to imnmediately
In special cases, in particular if it is obvious that you are unable to take the examination, for example if you have proof of hospitalization, you can request that an official medical certificate be waived.
The costs for the medical certificate from a private physician or the official medical certificate are not covered by the university.
At present a system changeover is taking place and therefore it is not possible to access exams electronically.
As soon as the changeover is finished – during which the present scanning process is also delayed - access to exams through VPN or Citrix via the web interface will be possible.
Please contact your examiner immediately in case of discrepancies in the assessment.
If he or she cannot be contacted by the end of the respective appeal period, or if you believe that the assessment is still not correct, you may submit a written appeal in writing to the relevant Examination Board, stating your reasons. This should be submitted to the Examination Management Office.
