Transcripts

Exchange students are not registered in the central examination administration because they are not seeking a degree at Saarland University. Examination results obtained at Saarland University will be credited to the studies at the home university.

A "Transcript of Records" is created for the home university as proof of the exams taken. For the recognition, you please need to speak directly to your your home university.

Information for students

How do I receive a Transcript of Records?

In order to receive a transcript of records you have to submit the grades with your grade to the Welcome Center. As proof of your achievements you will receive a so-called "Schein".

What are "Scheine" / certificates

The "Scheine" are certificates that mention the course, the grade and number of ECTS.

 

How do I receive such a certificate?

You need to talk to your lecturers about receiving a certificat, if it is not issued automatically. Please let you lecturers know by course start that you are part of the exchange program and that you require a certificate at the end of the semester. After the examniation request the certificate. Some certificates are available for download or are automatically provided, for example certificates by the language center or the German courses.

Layout of the "Scheine"

In some departments there are templates for the certificates. In others there are not. In that case we provide a template to download below. Please pre-fill your personal data and course details and send them to your lecturers to add the grade, stamp and signature.

Issuing the Transcript of Records

After your have requested all your "Scheine", have them send to you and forward them to the Welcome Center or ask your lecturers to directly forward them to our office (welcome@uni-saarland.de). Both is possible. After we received all your certificates, we will issue a transcript of records.
Usually we only send a digital copy to you. If we need to send the transcript to your home university, provide the contact information. Should you need a hard copy of the transcript, let us know and provide a postal address.
You will possibly not have all the Scheine by the end of your stay. It is absolutely possible to handle the transfer by email, so you can even send us the results after your have returned home.
