Apply for and receive your graduation certificate
Once you have successfully passed your last examination, contact your advisor in the Examination Office (HPA). They will then prepare your certificate and send it to the Dean and the chair of the examination board for signature. As soon as the signed certificate is returned to the Examination Office, you will receive an e-mail informing you of the next steps. We cannot give a general processing time, as many factors play a role, but we estimate a general processing time of approximately four to six weeks.
Final documents FAQ
You must remain enrolled until all coursework and examinations are complete, i.e. until the last examination has been taken or the last assignment/ term paper/portfolio has been submitted.
No. You are enrolled until the end of the semester, but cannot re-register. However, upon application you can choose to de-enrol after receiving your transcript → further information
Re-registration after all exams and coursework have been completed is not required, but permitted as long as the grading of the last examination performance is still pending. Once you have been graded and you are just waiting for the final documents to be issued, you can no longer re-register.
Example:
a. The thesis was submitted in winter semester 2022, grading will not take place until March 31, 2023 = re-registration possible, but not required
b. Final thesis was submitted in winter semester 2022, graded in the same semester = re-registration is no longer possible.
