I am facing my third (=last) attempt for an exam or I failed my third attempt. What do I do now?
When you learn that you failed your second attempt, you should contact your study advisor as early as possible in order to be optimally prepared for the third attempt and to inform yourself about possible study alternatives. Please be aware that in order to switch to another Master’s program, you need to formally apply for this alternative program via the Campo portal within the official application period and be granted admission to this program. Therefore, it is generally a good idea to apply to another English-taught Master’s program in the semester in which you have your third exam attempt. This way, you have a backup plan for the following semester if you fail your third attempt and cannot continue your studies in the Medical Engineering program. If you feel unable to take the exam on the examination day, you must withdraw from the exam before it takes place by submitting a medical certificate to the Examinations Office (helga.jahreis[at]fau.de). If you suddenly feel ill during the exam, you have to inform your exam supervisor, leave the exam and directly go to an officially recognized doctor (Vertrauenssarzt). After you have finished the exam, it is generally not possible to declare it invalid  retroactively (for example due to illness or personal crises). If you have failed your exam in the third attempt, your student advisor will provide further information about changing your study program.
