The Dept. of Theory and Critique announces a list of three regular and two make-up dates.
The exam is over the lecture and list of readings and will be only an oral exam.
The student is required to register for one of the three listed regular exam dates.
The second make-up exam date is in the presence of two instructors.

Students who do not register for any of the regular date are automatically given a grade of „X“.
If as student does not pass in regular or make-up dates, they may request a Dean's date which is a commission exam.
If the registered student does attend the exam (only for extenuating circumstances), they are to at least one day prior to the exam to apologize to the examiner"
