A Härtefall (plural Härtefälle) is a student that must be granted preferential admission at a German university regardless of GPA because of social conditions.

Reasons, why a student might be considered a Härtefall include:
 * 1.health reasons
 * 1.1. an severe illness that is getting worse and will result in the fact that the student will not be able to finish his studies if he is admitted later (a expertise from a medical specialist is necessary to proof this)
 * 1.2. the student is impaired because of a severe illness and will only get better if granted admission to the college (again a expertise from a medical specialist is necessary to proof this)
 * 1.3. the student suffers from a disability and has limited vocational opportunities because of this (again a expertise from a medical specialist is necessary to proof this)
