case of illness

What to do in case of illness?

Should you be prevented from taking part in an exam due to illness, you must see a doctor and get an official Medical Certificate for that day. Please keep this document in a safe place - should you fail to comply with the standard duration of your degree program, you may have to present this certificate as proof of having missed the exam for good reasons.

If you are not enrolled at the Mathematics Department of the TUM, please observe the guidelines in case of illness of your own department.

Transcript of Records (TOR)
