The introduction of a digital procedure for withdrawing from examinations at short notice will make student life at the HSZG easier in future.
Withdrawal from exams at short notice now possible in our CampusApp: a relief for our students
The university is pleased to announce the launch of a new digital withdrawal procedure for ex aminations. This project was realized in close cooperation in an agile project team with various stakeholders and structural units of the university, including the Vice-Rector for Education and International Affairs, Professor Sophia Keil, the University Computer Center under the direction of Lars Rönisch and Ivo Noack, the Digitization Coordinator Kerstin Korb, the Department of Studies and International Affairs under the direction of Dr. Lucie Koutkova and Lydia Seifert.
The digital withdrawal procedure (application for recognition of reasons for non-participation in the examination) offers students the simple option of withdrawing from examinations at at short notice. This makes it easier to deal with unexpected health or care emergencies and reduces the associated stress. It should be emphasized that this only applies to short-term non-participation in the examination due to illness or the care of relatives. It is not yet possible to withdraw from an examination digitally in accordance with §14 of the HSZG examination regulations.
With this measure, the university is sending a clear signal of its commitment to becoming a family-friendly, service-oriented university for our students.
The implementation of the project started in February 2024, and during the test phase in April/May 2024, the university's central examination board and the student council were involved. Their input was crucial in ensuring that the process meets the needs of students. The launch will take place on June 20, 2024.
Students can easily use the new withdrawal procedure via the university's form service, which is available at any time via the campus app "MyHSZG". The form service is new and the illustration is the first process in a digital form that has been specially developed for students. All students have to do is enter their registration details, state a reason for deregistration and upload the relevant supporting documents. After submitting the form, they receive an automatic confirmation that the email has been received.
The form can also be accessed via the website of the Examinations Office.
The introduction of this digital withdrawal procedure marks an important step towards flexibility and relief for students. It offers them the opportunity to organize their time more efficiently and deal better with unforeseen health and personal challenges.
