Extension of the Deadline
In technically justified cases (i.e. if the reason lies in the work), the processing period can be extended by up to 50% upon request. The application for an extension must be submitted to the Examination Office before the end of the processing period.

If an extension is requested for other valid reasons that only apply during part of the processing period, this can be extended by the corresponding period, but by no more than 50% of the original processing period. The reasons must be supported by evidence (e.g. in the case of illness, a medical certificate stating the exact period of illness). The proof must be submitted to the Examination Office before the end of the processing period.
If the extension by a maximum of 50% of the processing period is not sufficient to compensate for the impairment, only a cancellation in accordance with § 29 of the General Regulations of JLU can be considered.
