Recognition

Will my achievements abroad be recognized after my return? Many students are worried about recognition before starting an exchange or semester abroad. A learning or study agreement allows you to plan ahead and document the courses abroad and the recognition after return.

Below you find information on how to compile a Learning Agreement or Study Agreement and which documents are important for recognition:

The partially approved Study Agreement must be sent by email to the respective contact person abroad.

4. Documentation at the International Office
Students who participate in the Erasmus+ Program or the Global Exchange program of the University of Siegen, must submit the completed Learning Agreement or Study Agreement (worth at least 15 ECTS per semester!) at the Department International Student Affairs  (ISA).

5. Changes to the Agreement
Changes to the Online Learning Agreement or Study Agreement are possible and must be documented and approved by all parties (students, home institution, host institution) within four weeks after the start of the studies abroad.

Transcript of Records of the host university

The Transcript of Records is issued by the host institution after the end of the studies abroad. The document includes information on the study programme completed by the student, the credits and grades which have been achieved (at least 15 ECTS per semester!).

Certificate of Recognition from the University of Siegen

The students submit the Learning Agreement or Study Plan and the Transcript of Records to the Examination Office .
The recognised study programme is confirmed by the University of Siegen in the certificate of recognition. The proof of recognition is provided e.g. in the form of a "Leistungsübersicht" from unisono.

In case of complaints about recognition, students first contact the Department International Student Affairs. If recognition is refused as agreed in the learning agreement, a review of the decision can be requested by the Rectorate, which can make a recommendation to the relevant examination board. Furthermore, there is the possibility of a formal appeal procedure.
