General information

For students

The exact procedure is explained here.

You can find the relevant student advisory service on the homepage of your degree program here.

Recognition of study and examination achievements as well as professionally acquired skills that have not been achieved at Clausthal University of Technology is excluded for the respective module as soon as the registration for the first examination attempt at Clausthal University of Technology has taken place! Free attempts to improve grades are excluded for recognized examinations.

With the recognition of study and examination achievements, study periods may also be credited. From 16 credit points onwards, one semester is credited (16 to 45 = 01 FS, from 46 to 75 = 02 FS etc.).

Only module (partial) examinations in the compulsory or compulsory elective area can be recognized in accordance with the course-specific implementation regulations of your degree course.

A recommendation by the respective lecturer does not constitute approval of recognition.

Reasons for a rejection could be, for example, that you have already taken the examination at Clausthal University of Technology or that module examinations are planned in accordance with the program-specific implementation regulations of your degree program and you can only provide evidence of one module part.

The final decision on recognition or crediting is therefore the responsibility of the respective examination board or a body appointed by it!

Therefore, please inform yourself in good time about possible recognition!

According to the criteria for good recognition and good recognition procedures by Musil and Jost from June 2016, the recognizing university bears the burden of proof for the existence of a significant difference. However, this burden of presentation and proof is flanked by a duty of cooperation on the part of the applicant student(s). In principle, the documents submitted must be sufficiently informative for the applicant to be able to assume, on their basis alone, that a positive recognition decision will be made.

This is not the case, for example, if essential information for the assessment of the learning outcomes is missing. For example, the documents must show the acquired competence, the scope of the module, the situation of origin and the like. If this information is not provided even when requested, this alone can lead to the rejection of the application without the need to demonstrate a significant difference.
