Procedure
Get a certified copy of your certificate from the ZIB (International Relations Center)
If you have studied abroad, you must include all grade transcripts and certificates. As a student at one of the WiSo Faculty's partner universities and as a freemover please present your original transcript of records to the International Relations Center (ZIB) and you will receive a certified copy for your application. The original transcript of records or certificates from the partner university must be presented to the International Relation Center (ZIB) in German or English. If the partner university is unable to issue such a document, a certified translation of your original transcripts must be submitted.
Create and submit final-application online with your uploaded certificate
If you want to transfer your credits from a university abroad you can create a final-application on this page (click link below). There you can also upload your certificate stamped by the ZIB, evidence of the content and workload of the external courses.
Sign and hand in final-application
You will receive a confirmation email on your Smail-Account once you have submitted the application online. Please print the PDF document that is attached to the email and send it to the WiSo-Student-Service-Point (WiSSPo) with the necessary certificates via post, or by placing it in their letter box. It is not necessary to hand in the application in person. Link to the WiSSPo: https://www.wiso.uni-koeln.de/de/studium/service-und-beratung/wiso-student-service-point/ .
Hand in supporting evidence if necessary
We will contact you if we require any further supporting evidence. Please provide this evidence within two weeks, either by sending it via email or post, or by placing it in our letter box next to Room 1.11 in the WiSo building. It is not necessary to hand in the requested evidence in person.
Handing in all the necessary evidence with your application significantly reduces the time we will need to process it.
Wait while processing
Once we have received all the supporting evidence, we will process your application as fast as possible.
Collect supporting evidence if applicable
If you were requested to provide supporting evidence (e.g. books or transcripts), you must collect your documents afterwards. Photocopies will not be returned. We will contact you by email and let you know when you can pick up your documents at WiSSPo.
Application completed
You will receive a letter by the examination office or your ECTS will just be updated in KLIPS 2.0.
