Your direct contact is the examination office of the MAIB (Coordination Office). It accepts your requests by e-mail or post and then forwards them to the relevant examination board at your main university (the university at which you are primarily enrolled). The final decision on your request is made by the examination board. The Examination Office is only a mediating body.

If you have failed an examination (e.g. written exam, term paper, essay), you can always repeat it once. The exam should be repeated at the latest at the beginning of the following semester. Upon justified application, the examination board can approve a second repetition of examinations.

A graded examination that was completed within the standard period of study can be repeated once to improve the grade. In this case, you must attend a course of the same type and take a new module examination. You must submit an application to repeat the performance to the examination board.
