For students who are enrolled in the summer semester 2021 and are not on leave, the deadlines for the minimum credit amounts in the scope of the study progress control ("Studienfortschrittskontrolle") will be extended by one semester in order to take the restrictions due to the corona pandemic into account. This regulation was decided on centrally, for all of the students, so it is not necessary to send an according application to the responsible examination board.

Extended individual standard duration of study

As for the summer semester 2020 and the winter semester 2020/21, an extended individual standard duration of study ("Regelstudienzeit") has been decided on for the summer semester 2021 in order to automatically extend the BAföG maximum period of study by one additional semester.

Admission to Master's degree programs
