Soon you will have the possibility to declare the discontinuation of your doctorate in Docfile via the digital assistant for data update. Until then, please continue to contact your supervisor and your doctoral office directly to declare the discontinuation of your doctorate. In order to exmatriculate as a doctoral student, it is also necessary to notify the Student Application and Registration Office of the discontinuation of your doctoral studies and to exmatriculate.
If you are thinking about discontinuing your doctorate, you can contact the Albertus Magnus Center team confidentially at any time. We will discuss the next steps with you and put you in contact with the appropriate office.
In case of problems and conflicts, you can also contact the ombudsperson of your own faculty, but also of any other faculty.
Furthermore, you can also contact the general ombudsperson for Early-career researchers at the University of Cologne.
