In exceptional cases, we may inform individual students before the final grading of all examinations of an examination date whether the examination has been passed. However, the pre-correction can only take place if it is clear and conclusive at the relevant time whether the student has passed the examination or not. It is not possible for us to announce the exact assessment in advance.In general, there is no entitlement to pre-correction. Only in exceptional cases will we endeavor to inform you of your exam result (pass/fail) earlier.

Pre-correction may be considered in the following exceptional cases:

• Scholarship Application,
• Application for a study place abroad
• Passing the last performance before a successful completion of the bachelor's or master's examination.
• Application for transfer to a higher semester in another degree program
• For Incomings prior to the start of classes at their home university due to uncertainty regarding credits yet to be earned.

To request pre-correction of your exam, please submit an informal application via email to office-cdwiso.uni-koeln.de. 

Your application should include:

• a detailed explanation of your request (including supporting documentation),
• your personal information (name, student ID number, email address, etc.),
• and the date by which you require the early assessment.

Please note that the processing time is at least two weeks, so be sure to submit your request well in advance.
