All students take VBWL as a 2nd advanced course. The acquisition of the general university entrance qualification at our institution entitles the student to take up a freely selectable course of study at any university, university of applied sciences or university of cooperative education.

The tall students of the IWG can also participate in the food service during the 30-minute lunch break in the TREFF, which is also used as a dining room by the IGG, located in the same building.

Everyone is responsible for making up the missed material. It is best to assign a reliable student to act as a facilitator. For more extensive absences, transcripts can also be copied at school.

A make-up appointment for missed work will be held every 14 days. The students attend the appointment following the end of the sick period independently. If several papers have to be made up, the dates must be arranged individually with the subject teacher concerned. Unexcused absences will result in a grade of 6.

[...] In the case of [a telephone] notification of the school, the written notification shall be submitted within three days. [...]

In case of illness lasting more than five days [...], the class teacher or the tutor may demand that the excused person submit a medical certificate. In case of conspicuously frequent or long illnesses, the principal [...] may require the submission of an official or confidential medical certificate. [...]"

In addition, absence from examinations (upper secondary school) and exams (BLF, Abitur, etc.) will only be excused with a medical certificate. If no proof is provided, the performance not rendered will be assessed with a grade of 6 or 0 points.
