The web form for processing the certificate application is integrated into the study information pages. However, you can still call up the certificate application in the left-hand menu after logging into the examination management system.

You go through the certificate application in several steps. To navigate back and forth between the individual pages, you will find buttons below the form that you can use to scroll forwards or backwards or to jump to the beginning of the form. The "Back" button takes you to the previous page of the form, the "Start from the beginning" button deletes your entries and takes you back to the first page of the form.

If there are options for FsB or profile(s) for your enrolment, you will be offered a selection dialogue. This will not appear if there are no options.

Only those modules can be selected in the certificate application that belong to the subject - or, in the case of profiles, to the selected profile - according to the module handbook. For further modules, see the following accordion boxes "Modules and achievements of the individual subsidiary subjects" and "Further modules and further achievements"

Select whether you would like to apply for a final certificate or an provisional transcript.

The form to be completed is the same in both cases, but there are serious differences in the selection options for the modules:

• In the application for an '''provisional Transcript''', only modules that are complete or have been designated as non-calculable can be selected. Automatically calculable modules that have not yet been passed or have not yet been started cannot be selected.
• In the application for a '''final certificate''', it is also possible to select incomplete modules, as the certificate application can be submitted with the submission/completion of the last achievement, i.e. before the last achievement has been recorded. In this case, you should also select the modules in the certificate application in which an achievement is still missing. You can then continue the application process as normal.

Please note that for both the final certificate and the provisional transcript, it is not possible to use modules that have already been frozen for a subject in a different way, i.e. to deselect them in the selection. You can recognise these modules both in the application and in your module transcript by the closed lock symbols and the additionally greyed out selection boxes

For each subject (core and minor subjects), you will first go through a form with the same structure, which is based on your transcript and lists your modules:

Each module that can (optional subject) or must (compulsory subject) be included in the course of study according to the study regulations is listed with the module title. If the module has not yet been completed, it is greyed out. For modules in which achievements have been completed, these can be expanded and displayed using a small arrow. A small "marker" next to the module heading will display whether a module is complete or whether any achievements are still missing.

Your task is to indicate for each module whether you wish to include it in your degree programme. To do this, tick a checkbox that is displayed at the beginning of the line. In the following cases, no checkbox and therefore no option is displayed:

• Modules not yet completed in the application for an interim transcript (incomplete modules can also be selected in the application for the final transcript).
• Compulsory modules in the final transcript, as these must always be submitted.

In the last column you will find a link to the corresponding page of the study information for each module. You should always use this if you want to find out more about the structure and requirements of the modules shown. This should always be done if a module is displayed as "not calculable" (see also the next paragraph "Completeness check").

To make it easier to check the progress of your studies, the result of a completeness check is displayed next to each module as a symbol (a small grey "marker"). The system automatically checks whether the achievements in the module are sufficient to complete the module or whether any required achievements are still outstanding. This automatic check cannot be carried out for all module types, which is why it is also possible for modules to be categorised as "not calculable".

Please note: The automatic completeness check only considers individual modules in isolation from each other, never the module in a specific (subject) context. It therefore says nothing about whether modules marked as passed can be combined together to form a valid degree.

After the module selection for the individual subjects, the selection of modules and achievements in the area of Individual Supplements follows in the subject-specific degree programmes, for which the Bachelor's examination regulations provide for a scope of 30 credit points, of which 20 credit points are in the form of complete modules (deviating provisions, such as structured supplements, are possible in the individual subjects, please refer to your applicable FsB).

On the following page of the form, you will be offered modules for use in individual subsidiary subjects. When applying for an provisional transcript, you can only select complete modules here; for the final transcript, as with the subjects, you can select modules that are not complete.

Below the selection form, you will find a counter indicating the number of credit points for the modules you have selected.

In addition to studying entire modules, the individual subsidiary subjects also provide the opportunity to complete individual achievements totalling 10 credit points. However, formal documentation of achievements is not necessary here, as a text module is added when the degree is awarded, which declares that courses totalling 10 credit points were attended from the university's course offerings. If you have not yet completed the 30 ECTS credits required for the individual subsidiary subjects in modules (see counter), you will be offered individual credits to choose from on the following page. This list includes all the credits from your transcript that have not yet been used for the degree.

 

 

After you have gone through the forms for your degree subjects, you can indicate in a final step which other modules can be completed in your transcript. These, together with other achievements in modules that have not been completed, will then be displayed in the document issued, but will not be used for the degree - so they will still be available to you for further study.
