Forms of examination in which aids either cannot be profitably used (especially oral examinations) or else are broadly approved (term papers or open book exams) are also suitable. In addition all relevant declarations must be made, confirming that the work is done independently (see model declaration about use of aids). For all examinations that involve the use of electronic means of transmission, data protection requirements must also be observed. If necessary, the examination candidate must consent to the terms of use of the relevant platform (this takes place after the first log-in with ILIAS, for example). In the case of digital oral examinations that use the video function, the consent of the examination candidate to the processing of their personal data must also be given (see Declaration of consent to the processing of personal data; in the case of digital written exams via ILIAS this additional consent is not necessary).

Important note about the declarations
The examination process is an administrative procedure; therefore German, as the official language (§ 23 LVwVfG), applies. For this reason, all substantive declarations must be submitted in German. This applies equally to declarations made in the examination process. Please use the forms supplied on our website as we cannot verify the contents of individually-drafted declarations.
A courtesy translation may be supplied for students who do not speak German. It informs the student of the contents of the declaration which they must submit in German. A translation is therefore a courtesy which cannot replace the German original.
Any translation must therefore be a true and complete reproduction of the meaning of the original. It must be a faithful translation of the original. Please therefore use the translation we provide.
