More time for university exams: Parliament wants new deadlines

For a long time, students had to forego direct contact with lecturers and fellow students; they only saw lecture halls from the screen.

Since Monday, face-to-face studies have been taking place, but not everything is the same as before.

That is why the country is now intervening again.

Stuttgart - Students in Baden-Württemberg should have more time for their exams and studies because of the corona pandemic.

Accordingly, the examination deadlines at the universities are to be extended further so that delays in the winter semester that has already started can be compensated for.

The regulation is to be extended to new students in the summer semester 2021 and the winter semester 2021/2022.

The state parliament wants to debate the planned amendment to the state higher education law on Wednesday (10 a.m.) in the second reading and then decide.

Parliament had previously extended the examination deadlines to include the 2020 summer semester and the 2020/2021 winter semester.

According to the draft law, they are now being extended by a maximum of three semesters for the current summer semester and the winter semester 2021/22.

In addition, the ministry can extend the deadlines again if this is necessary due to the pandemic.

It would be the third extension of the deadlines for study and examination achievements.

At most universities, studies started this Monday (October 18th).

According to the ministry, well over 50 percent of the events are to take place in person.

According to this, some universities of applied sciences even offer up to 95 percent with personal attendance.

Only convalescent, vaccinated or tested students are allowed to attend the events.
