In case the jury consists of 3 members, the co-supervisor cannot be the jury member. A majority vote by the jury members determines the outcome of the thesis or examination.

To correct or change a thesis found incomplete and/or inadequate by the jury, the jury must specify in its report that such corrections are necessary.
