You will find answers to the most important questions in the FAQs below. We update this overview regularly (last update: June 16, 2024).
All graduates, for whom the TUM Graduation Office has received an application for a degree certificate by the Secretary of the Examination Board by the deadline of May 31, 2024.
Therefore, the following requirements must be met:
* you must have completed all required examinations and coursework,
* all grades must have been received and be valid (provisional confirmations, e.g. of passing the final thesis, are not sufficient)
* these must be correctly assigned in the transcript of records / curriculum in TUMonline,
* and the Secretary of the Examination Board of your degree program must have completed the administrative processes.
This means that you must allow sufficient time for the administrative processes after your last valid coursework or grade!
You can support the process by getting in touch with your contact person in the degree program if you have not been assigned the correct grades:
For computer science: the Secretary of the Examination Board of your degree program
For Electrical Engineering and Information Technology: Your degree program, i.e. {bachelor|master|msce|msne}@ei.tum.de
For Mathematics: Secretary of the Examination Board for the bachelor's program or for the master's program, respectively
Please make sure to read enquiries from the contact persons carefully and respond promptly.
No, the save the date is not the invitation to the graduation ceremony. The save the date has been sent to all students at the CIT. The invitation per email will only be sent to the students meeting the requirements.
If you have not received an invitation, this means that you have not met all the requirements. You will be invited next year.
