Complete the applicable form (available only in German) for your subject or degree programme (application for recognition plus appendix for the subject/degree programme or area of specialisation)

Submit your signed application by email together with the appropriate documents and corresponding evidence (grade listing, academic transcript, etc.) to the Examinations Office at [email protected]. If applicable, please include links to sources for module descriptions.

Please observe the following requirements when submitting your application.

• For each subject/degree programme or area of specialisation, please submit the following documents in one PDF file: Application (“Antrag auf Anrechnung”), appendix for each subject (“Anlage”), evidence

If you require recognition for a subject and associated area of specialisation, you should therefore send two separate files.

• The files should be named as follows: [Name]_Recognition_[Subject].

Meaningful abbreviations are permitted.

For example: Smith, Jane_Recognition_Mathematics or Smith, Jane_application for recognition_career_training

The Academic Examinations Office checks the completeness of the documents, the legal framework and the formal criteria. The final decision on recognition is made by the responsible Examination Board or the subject representation appointed by it. You will receive a notification in Stud.IP as soon as your application has been forwarded.

When processing your application, we use different statuses to indicate the progress of your application.
Status under CP in the grade overview in Stud.IP:

• No entry in the grade overview:
  Application awaiting processing. It may take a few weeks before your application can be processed. When we confirm receipt of your documents, you will be given a time frame.
• Credit transfer application received:
  The application is being processed, but there are still open questions to be clarified. If you have not received a message from us, this is an internal clarification requirement.
• Recognition application is with the examination board:
  Application has been forwarded to the subject representation for content review and decision.
• Crossed out and "Application for crediting rejected":
  Your application for the module has been rejected. In this case, you will also receive a notification from us by post.

Once your application has been finalised, you will receive a message from us. If your application is approved, you will also receive an automated email from Stud.IP informing you that your grade has been entered in your grade overview.

You will only receive a written notification by post if your application is rejected.

The total waiting and processing time can take several months depending on the workload. If you submit several applications (e.g. for several subjects), the waiting and processing times for the individual applications may vary.

Please refrain from making enquiries during the waiting period.
If you have any questions (status, enquiries, etc.), please use the personal or telephone consultation hours.
