They are legally binding and compliance with them can be enforced in case of doubt at the competent administrative court (Gelsenkirchen).

Oral examinations that are not held during the examination period must be arranged with the examiners and the examination committee must be notified at least 14 days before the examination date.

According to §7 of the examination regulations of the Bachelor in Spatial Planning, students with long-lasting or permanent disabilities, chronic illness or with care requirements may be given preference in the allocation of courses with a limited number of participants. If the conditions stated in the examination regulations apply, please contact the Examination Committee of the Department of Spatial Planning of the University of Dortmund by telephone or informal e-mail. This applies to the seminar and exercise modules of the department. Please note, however, that the number of seminars is usually sufficient for the demand. Places will be allocated according to the number of places announced in the examination calendar.

The Bachelor's examination regulations for B.Sc modules taken by M.Sc transfer students are applicable for transfer students in the Master's program in Planning.

The seminar and practical exercise course allocation in the Bachelor and in the Master programs takes place before the beginning of each semester. Please inform yourself about the deadlines for the allocation of places in courses via the examination calendar. Each student has the opportunity to select up to three priorities. Please note that indicating only a single seminar/exercise does not lead to a higher probability of being able to take the seminar or exercise.

See hardship provision above.

Certificates must be submitted promptly, or in advance by e-mail to Ms. Kitsche in Department 4.3.
