You can see the individual achievements under “Semester results” in TUCaN. If you have any questions about this, please send your request to the study office via the contact form .
Registration in TUCaN always starts with the module, then with the course. Course registration in TUCaN is done in three steps:
- First you register to the module.
- Then to the course.
- Note that after registering for the module, the “Registration” button disappears and a “Registration” button appears after each course offered in the module. Only after you have registered for the specific course, you will see it in the timetable, etc. FAQ Module & Course Registration (with Video-Tutorial).
- Finally, register for the exam during the exam registration period. FAQ Examination Registration (with Video-Tutorial)
- In case of registration problems please contact the Office for Student Affairs.
What is to be considered?
According to §15 Abs. 1 APB, withdrawal from an examination is usually possible up to 7 days before the examination date.
Example:
The exam will take place on 22 May. Withdrawal without giving reasons is therefore usually possible until 14 May at 11:59 pm.
De-registration in TUCaN
You have to de-register from the exam in TUCaN within the section Examinations > My examinations. More information
You have to submit the medical certificate to the Office for Student Affairs within 3 days after the examination date. This also applies if the exam takes place at another department. The submission can be made in paper form or electronically. This is the only way to withdraw from the examination due to illness in accordance with §15(2) APB in due time.
If the above mentioned documents are not submitted within the deadline, then all exam performances for which a withdrawal should be requested will be evaluated as “insufficient” (5,0), since the exam date was missed without excuse. This also eliminates the possibility of an oral supplementary examination for third examinations attempts.
