Corona regulation

Due to the pandemic-related regulations on examinations in the Bavarian Higher Education Act (Bavarian Higher Education Act), SS 20, WS 20/21, SS 21 and WS 21/22 do not count as examination semesters with regard to deadlines. The examination semester is decisive for the examination deadline, not the subject semester.
