Please note:

• The examiner does not have to decide immediately but can ask you to come back later for the signed exemption form
• The examiner's signature does not mean that the exemption is granted; The examination board decides on the request.
• If you wish to be exempted from the obligation to take part in a specific practical exercise because of a moral dilemma, you can submit a request motivating and substantiating why you could be placed in a moral dilemma by this practical exercise. The examination board will determine, after consultation of the examiner, in what other way you can fulfil the learning objectives.
• The request has to be submitted at the latest 6 weeks** before the start of the study unit in order to receive a decision before the start of the study unit. The examination board may postpone the handling of a late requests until after the end of the (part of the) study unit concerned.
• Pending the decision you are strongly advised to participate in the study unit and to take part in the (next) regular scheduled exam(s)/test(s).

** The 6-week period is set because of the response time for the examination board to prevent unnecessary disturbance of study units such as the falling apart of working groups during a study unit (in several parts of the study unit ) due to the withdrawal of a student.
