Impairment of exam participation due to strikes on Monday, February 2, 2026
Concerns/Category:
- All courses
Dear Students,
warning strikes in local public transport have been announced for Monday, February 2, 2026, but no further details have been provided. If you are affected by this, the following key points apply:
1. All examinations will take place as scheduled according to the examination schedule.
2. Students who do not attend the exam due to the strike (force majeure) will not be disadvantaged (no exam attempt, no effect of deadlines). However, affected students must submit an application with proof to the Examination Office.
3. For students who arrive late due to the strike (force majeure), it is up to the examiners to decide on a case-by-case basis. It may be possible for them to take the exam during the remaining exam time. Under certain circumstances, the exam time can also be adjusted for the students affected, provided that this does not cause any further implications (room occupancy, disruption of the exam, etc.). Or, in the case of exams with two consecutive time slots, participation in the later group may be considered, for example.
4. There is no entitlement to an alternative date.

This applies, among others, to the course “Sales Management & E-Commerce.” A repeat attempt will be possible again in the summer semester 2026, provided that these courses are offered.
