Examenreglement

Examenreglement, or examination regulations, is a formal document issued by a higher education institution that governs how examinations and other assessments are organized, conducted, and recorded. It outlines the rights and obligations of students and staff and defines the scope of the rules, typically applying to all programs or to a specific faculty or study program.

The tratado commonly covers the types of assessments used (written exams, oral exams, coursework, projects, practicals), the conditions for participation (enrolment status, registration for exams, deadlines), and the administrative procedures surrounding exams (scheduling, venues, invigilation, identification requirements, allowed materials, and rules for conduct during exams). It also specifies grading practices, the weighting of different components, procedures for calculating final grades, and the publication of results.

Special provisions address accessibility and accommodations for students with disabilities, procedures for illness or other force majeure events, and rules regarding resits or retakes, progression requirements, and degree eligibility. The examenreglement typically includes procedures for appeals or complaints concerning exam results or decisions, as well as sanctions for breaches of academic integrity such as cheating or plagiarism.

In addition, the document often describes the relationship between the examenreglement and other policies (academic integrity, student charter, privacy) and outlines how changes are approved, implemented, and communicated to students. While the core framework is broadly similar, specific provisions vary across institutions and study programs.
