What to do in case of: Postponement of graduation into the summer semester 2021?
If your degree is postponed to the summer semester due to the current situation, e.g. because final theses cannot be started as planned, you have two options:
- You first enrol for the summer semester. If you complete your examinations (e.g. hand in your thesis) within one month of the start of lectures, you can then exmatriculate and claim back the semester fee you have already paid (more information here under "Exmatriculation").
- If this option is not possible for you, you can still complete the required examination according to APO § 22a if you have already been exmatriculated. Please note: If you choose this option, you must submit an informal request to bio.pruefung@bio.uni-goettingen.de as soon as possible. Please name specific examination (e.g. module number), the reason for its delay and the period of time you plan to perform them. Please mind, with exmatriculation, you lose your status as a student of the university and have, for example, only limited or no access to the electronic systems of the university and no semester ticket.
Enrolment in Master programmes
Students who begin a Master's programme at WiSe20/21 may submit the BSc certificate until 15.05.2021. Please note that your enrolment status is still 'auflösend bedingt' until all admission documents have been submitted.

- Modules will again be offered as a mixture of online and face-to-face teaching in winter term. Especially practical courses will include face-to-face teaching and attendance in Göttingen is required.
- The lecture period officially starts the 2 November 2020.

Abmeldungen von Praktika im Bachelor
Die Abmeldungen von den Praktika des SoSe sind in FlexNow wieder geöffnet bis zum 15.05.20 (23:59 Uhr). Wer seine Planung in der aktuellen Situation dahingehend geändert hat, ein angemeldetes Praktikum in diesem Semester doch nicht zu besuchen, kann sich bis dahin wieder abmelden.
Nachholtermine für ausgefallene Prüfungen im März / April
Die ausgefallenen Klausuren aus dem Wintersemester werden ab Anfang Mai in Präsenz nachgeholt. Dabei werden die Klausuren in ausreichend großen Räumen unter Wahrung der Sicherheitsvorschriften geschrieben. Weitere Hinweise und Maßnahmen finden Sie in den Informationen der Fakultät zu Prüfungen (pdf).
Bisher feststehende Klausurtermine werden hier veröffentlicht; die Planungen laufen jedoch noch, sodass die Liste nach und nach ergänzt werden muss.
Studierende, die für den ausgefallenen Klausurtermin angemeldet sind, werden automatisch für den neuen Termin eingetragen und müssen sich nicht aktiv anmelden. Sie können sich jedoch von jedem Nachholtermin abmelden und die Prüfung zum nächsten regulären Termin im Februar 2021 absolvieren.
Können aufgrund von Härtefällen bestimmte Zugangsvoraussetzungen (beispielsweise im BSc Biologie 40 C des ersten Studienabschnitts für die biologischen Grundlagenmodule) nicht erfüllt werden, besteht selbstverständlich die Möglichkeit, Härtefallanträge an die Prüfungskommission zu stellen.
