21.09.2026: Limited Service (Hacker Attack)
Due to the previously announced cyberattack on LMU, key databases are currently locked, meaning we do not have access to the exam administration system at this time. In particular, there are delays in issuing degree certificates and other exam-related documents (e.g., semester credit transfer notices).

The Examniation Office therefore asks for your understanding that our ability to act is currently limited.
