In general, the most recent versions of the official regulations always apply to all students. This specifically concerns the examination and study regulations (PStO) and the corresponding module catalogue, regardless of when you enrolled. You can find the regulations and module catalogue under degree programmes from A to Z, on the tab Programme Structure of your degree programme. The principle of protection of legitimate expectations ensures that changes to the compulsory curriculum do not create additional burdens for current students. Appropriate transitional arrangements guarantee this. You can find them in the PStO or ask the Student Advisory Service.

Students are examined only if they have registered in Flexnow on time. In particular, late registration for examinations by the Examinations Office is not possible.
