Assessment of eligibility for credit

You can take courses at the foreign university and have the credits you have successfully earned recognized for your studies in Osnabrück.

If you want to find out in advance of your stay abroad whether the courses you take abroad will be recognized after your return, you can fill out the  form for confirmation of eligibility for credit transfer  (PDF, 95 kB)and submit it to the relevant subject coordinator. It is advisable to submit the course descriptions for verification of eligibility for credit transfer as soon as possible after you have been accepted for a stay abroad.

Please note that you will only receive a signature on your Learning Agreement from us if you have a corresponding confirmation of credit eligibility for the courses.

Even if no Learning Agreement is required for your stay abroad, we still recommend that you have your planned courses checked for eligibility for credit transfer.
