The General Provisions for Assessment Regulations (ABPO) comprise the binding provisions for examination regulations for all degree programs at Hochschule Geisenheim University.
The Special Provisions for Assessment Regulations (BBPO) specify these general regulations for the specific degree programs. They define the framework conditions and specific requirements for assessments within your degree program.
You can find the valid BBPO for your program in your degree program information and in the university's official announcements.
Recognition of achievements
If you have achievements you would like to get recognized, please check your degree program's curriculum and contact the instructor of the module.
Required documents:
- Completed application form – the missing information will be added by the module instructor
- Final examination certificate
- Module descriptions of the achievements you want to have recognized
The module instructor reviews and signs the documents before they are forwarded to the Study Organization and Examinations Office.
In a final step, the chair of the Examination Committee for your degree program will review and sign off on your application. Your achievements are then officially recorded in the examinations system.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with the Examination Office's contact person for your degree program.
The rules for registering for and withdrawing from exams, reporting illness, and general rules of conduct during exams are established by the Examination Committees and apply to all degree programs at Hochschule Geisenheim University.
If you have any questions, please contact the program advisor for your degree program – we are happy to help!
The BAföG representatives at Hochschule Geisenheim University are responsible for Formblatt 5, the certificate of achievement under § 48 BAföG.
Please contact the BAföG representative for your degree program with a current transcript of records (proof of performance from the QIS). They will check the status of your achievements and sign the form accordingly.
Accommodations for Students with Disabilities
In order to be entitled to accommodations, students must provide evidence of a long-term impairment that meets the criteria of a disability. Universities are generally guided by the definition of disability given in § 2 (1) of the German Social Code (SGB IX). Increasingly, reference is also being made to the definition of disability in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
A certified health impairment or officially recognized disability by itself does not entitle an individual to accommodations. The decisive factor is how the impairment or disability impacts an individual's studies. (Source: Deutsches Studierendenwerk)
You can find more information on this topic and an application form in the ‘Information on Accommodations’ document.
- For advice regarding accommodations, please contact Dr. Eszter Geberth (Eszter.Geberth@hs-gm.de).
- If you want to submit an application for accommodations, please contact your Examination Committee or your degree program's contact person on the Examinations Office team.
The Examination Committees are responsible for monitoring compliance with the assessment regulations (Prüfungsordnungen) of the degree programs. The committees hold regular meetings to decide, among other things, about applications, examination admissions (thesis, colloquium), examination boards, cases of cheating or attempted cheating, accommodations, granting exam inspections, and the recognition of previous grades.
To learn more, please see the section of the ABPO titled 4.2: Examination Committees.
Applications to the Examination Committees can be sent via e-mail or post to the Chair of the Examination Committee for your degree program and to the contact person for your degree program in the Examinations Office.
