Illness
Legal framework
“Studienordnung Medizin” (Study regulations for medicine) and “Rahmenpraktikumsordnung - Ordnung zur Absolvierung scheinpflichtiger Lehrveranstaltungen im Studiengang Zahnmedizin” (Framework internship regulations - Regulations for the completion of mandatory classes in dentistry studies) at the Faculty of Medicine Carl Gustav Carus see legal framework during your studies
Illness during courses requiring compulsory attendance
We recommend that
(a) you inform the relevant “Fachgebiet” (Department) by e-mail or by telephone
(b) you keep your sick note in order to be able, if necessary, to document your absence later
(c) you find out directly from the “Fachgebiet” (Department) if you can re-do parts of the course you missed, if the duration of your absence amounts to more than 15% of the course
lllness during performance reviews
If you withdraw from a performance review due to illness, you must present a medical certificate from an “Amtsarzt” (Public health officer) to the “Fachgebiet” (Department) no later than the third working day after the date of the performance review. The effectiveness of the withdrawal depends on the approval of the “Fachgebiet” (Department). Approval will only be granted if your withdrawal was communicated promptly, if there are important reasons and these have been proven in good time.
The medical certificate you need to submit can be found here:
