Regarding sick note for exams
Students, who submit a sick note for an exam more than twice per semester, need to see the medical examiner of University of Bonn for their third sick note. This means that the exams office only accepts sick notes from Dr. med. L. Packbier from the third sick note onwards. Dr. Packbier can be contacted by phone: 0228-287-16176.
Please note: crucial is the number of sick notes, which means that you are allowed to submit two sick notes in total per semester without consulting Dr. Packbier. It doesn't matter if you have submitted two sick notes for the same exam or two for two different exams.
If you have questions regarding this rule, please contact the exams office or the master program office.
