According to § 32 of the General Examination Regulations (APB), an oral supplementary examination (mEP) can be taken on application once per degree programme for a failed second written repeat examination. If no application is received within the application deadline, the subject examination is permanently considered not passed.

The application for a mEP is permitted if:

• no mEP has yet been taken or applied for within an examination regulation,
• the examination for which the mEP is requested was a failed, written, supervised examination,
• the application has been submitted to the relevant Office for Student Affairs within 4 weeks of the publication of the examination result in TUCaN.

The application for a mEP is not permitted if:

• the evaluation “insufficient” was made through an unexcused absence, submission of a blank sheet or through a cheating attempt.
• the deadline of one month after the announcement of the examination result is not met.
