Admission to a Bachelor’s or teacher training programme during the extension period is only permitted if one of the following statutory exceptions arise:

• Failure to pass the entrance examination, the admission procedure or the introductory orientation phase (STEOP) The failure to pass the entrance examination, the admission procedure or the introductory orientation phase (STEOP) in another degree programme is regarded as an exceptional case, provided that the result for the winter semester is not available until after the 31st of August, or the result for the summer semester is not available until after the 31st of January.
• Students who have just completed their school leaving qualification
  An exception also applies when general eligibility for university entrance is attained after 31 August (winter semester) or after 31 January (summer semester).
• Alternative civilian service/military service/voluntary welfare work for one yearA further exception applies for those carrying out alternative civilian service, military service or voluntary welfare work for one year, who are undertaking this service between 31 August and 31 January, and who have not postponed this service to a later date, or suspended or cut short this service before the end of the extension period.
• Unforeseen or unavoidable event
  Applicants who can demonstrate to the university’s satisfaction that they were prevented from applying during the whole general admission period as the result of an unforeseen or unavoidable event, which was not, or only to a minor degree, the fault of the applicant, may also be admitted during the extension period.
• Employment/work experience
  Those who can prove that employment or work experience prevented them from applying within the whole general admission period may also be admitted during the extension period.
• Time abroad
  Those who can prove that they were required to stay abroad and were thus prevented from applying during the whole general admission period may also be admitted during the extension period.
