When receiving BAföG financial aid benefits, according to the BAföG leaflet (German only) you must provide evidence of the necessary number of credits [ECTS] depending on semester and program. Since September 19, 2011 it is sufficient to submit your online self-service performance evidence to the BAföG office. Form No. 5 according to § 48 BAföG is no longer necessary to receive benefits.  

Please plan a corresponding course of studies in time so you do not endanger your financial aid.

Please contact the Examination Office concerning BAföG matters.

The Examination Office will advise you in all examination problems, in particular procedural questions. Please contact the office directly or by email to your case worker in the Examination Office.

In addition, you also have access to subject-related consulting from the Head of degree course, the respective lecturers, and – in particular in case of PO applications – the Chairman of the Examination Office.

You can receive a standardized certificate on your performance in the program (transcript) at the Student Services Center.

You can create your own transcripts at the self-service terminal using your Study Chip or on the HIS-QIS-Portal (HIS).

The Examination Office will be glad to issue you new transcripts for different purposes if need be. If you need a transcript in English, we ask you to create this yourself and to submit it to the Examination Office for confirmation.

After completing an examination procedure, you have the right (regulated in the General Regulations for Examinations for the Bachelor and Master degrees (§30)) to view your examination documentation for one year (examination viewing, viewing of take-home assignments, certificated on thesis papers).

If you would like to discuss examinations with the full-time teachers (professors), please make an appointment with the respective professor. The central examination viewing only concerns examinations of adjunct lecturers. Please note that this viewing does not represent a discussion of the examination documentation with the teachers. If you want to discuss the exam, we recommend talking to the examiner soon after the announcement of the grade.
