Yes, you no longer need the signature of your supervisor to register your Bachelor's or Master's thesis. Instead of that, examiners will provide the relevant information directly to the Examination Office by e-mail.

Until further notice, please send your Bachelor's or Master's thesis only as a PDF file by e-mail to the examination office responsible for you. From there it will be forwarded to the reviewers. There is no need to hand in printed copies.

Until further notice, you must also send the declaration of originality by e-mail to the examination office responsible for you. Print out the declaration, sign it and send a scan or photo to the Examination Office.

You can find latest information about BAföG and how is it conducted within the corona situation in the website of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF): www.bafög.de.

Ja. Das Kultusministerium hat die Nachreichfrist verlängert.

Genaueres finden Sie auf der Webseite der Koordinierungsstelle Lehramt.

To enable you to directly download and print out certificates such as the preliminary Transcript of Records and, thus, save you time from visiting the Examination Office, such documents will no longer be signed in the Examination Office but will be marked with the note that they were created electronically and therefore without a signature. This regulation, which should have been introduced anyway as part of the process optimization, has now been brought forward.

Um es Ihnen zu ermöglichen, Bescheinigungen wie das vorläufige Transcript of Records direkt herunterzuladen und auszudrucken und Ihnen somit den Weg ins Prüfungsamt zu sparen, werden solche Dokumente ab sofort nicht mehr unterschrieben, sondern mit dem Hinweis versehen, dass sie elektronisch und daher ohne Unterschrift erstellt wurden. Diese Regelung sollte im Rahmen der Prozessoptimierung ohnehin eingeführt werden, sie wurde jetzt vorgezogen.

The examination office will send you back your graduation documents by post. This may currently take longer than usual, as the collection of signatures could be delayed due to the Corona crisis.

Attention: Please remember to always add your current postal address in the PWA.
