Recognition of Academic Achievements Obtained Abroad

Recognition of academic achievements abroad is granted by the Examination Board upon application by the student.

The application must be made in writing by e-mail to international.mathematics(at)uni-ulm.de.

Please note that the application for recognition must be submitted within the following semester in which the coursework and examinations were completed, § 19 Para. 6 Rahmenordnung.
In the case of a stay abroad of more than one semester, the application for recognition must be submitted no later than six months after returning from abroad.

Step 1: You send us all the documents. If we discover that we need further documents or information, we will ask for them. If you have submitted all your documents to us, you will not hear from us at first.

Step 2: Once we have received the complete documents, your application will usually be approved within 2-3 weeks. You will receive a corresponding notification by e-mail.

Step 3: Approx. 4 weeks after your application has been approved, check whether the grades have been fully entered in the portal. If there are any discrepancies, please contact international.mathematics(at)uni-ulm.de directly. This check completes your recognition.

The following documents must be submitted:

• Application form: Use this application form and, if more than one course is to be recognized, this form for additional pages. You can find a help file here. Please note that the application forms may not be able to be opened in a browser. Therefore, please use a suitable PDF reader (e.g. Adobe Reader). If your application form contains several pages, please merge them into a single PDF file. Make sure that the PDF file can still be edited afterwards.
• Transcript of Records from the university abroad: This must be a scanned official transcript. Non-official transcripts will not be accepted. (Note: Do not hand over the original!)
• Transcript of Records of the University of Ulm (from the University Services Portal).
• Learning Agreement(s): If you have changed your Learning Agreement during your stay abroad, please combine all versions into a single document.
• Module descriptions, if applicable: Module descriptions (content, scope, level of the course) are required for all courses that you wish to have recognized but which are not recorded in a Learning Agreement.
• suitable information on the examination results (e.g. seminar confirmation).

Please submit the documents in PDF format and use the convention last_name_first_name_document.pdf (e.g. Mustermann_Max_LA.pdf). The individual documents should be submitted as individual PDF files. Please do not combine all files in one document. Please also make sure that the files are appropriately sized. There are plenty of free tools available on the Internet to reduce and merge PDF files.

If you have any further questions on the subject of credit transfer, please send an e-mail to international.mathematics(at)uni-ulm.de.
