Article 38 [Examination Retake]

(1) Students may modify the result of a previously passed examination by having an upgrading retake examination.

(2) Students can sit an upgrading retake examination and take a second retake examination before a different examiner or examination board if so authorized by the head of the educational-research unit on the basis of the student’s duly reasoned written or electronic request addressed and submitted to the head of the educational-research unit no later than three working days before the commencement of the examination. If the head of the educational-research unit is involved in the examination, the appointment of a different examiner can be requested from the Dean of the faculty responsible for teaching the subject.

(3) During a given examination period, a second retake examination shall be taken before an examination board of at least three members, upon the student’s written or electronic request submitted no later than three working days before the commencement of the examination. No more than one member of the examination board may be an examiner who graded a previous examination of the student as “fail” during the same examination period.

(4) A written (partial) examination is considered to be taken before an examination board if the test is evaluated by at least two different examiners independently from each other. The result of the (partial) examination is determined by the examination board.
