Transferring credits

At the end of your stay abroad

Once you have completed your period abroad, you will receive a transcript of records from your host university listing the courses you took, how many ECTS credits you earned and what grade you received. The transcript of records is considered part of your learning agreement, even though it is provided as a separate document. In order to receive your second Erasmus payment, you will need to submit your transcript of records to the Saarland University Erasmus Office.
To have the credits you earned abroad count towards your degree, you need to submit an application to your department's examination office. You need to have had completed a learning agreement in the Erasmus+ online portal before your stay abroad. Use the form from the Faculty of Humanities' Student Services Office to request that ECTS credits from courses laid out in your learning agreement are counted towards modules or module elements from your degree programme. Visit the Faculty of Humanities web page and click on 'Auslandsaufenthalt' then 'Learning Agreement' to access the form. This form is also called the learning agreement, however, it is a different form that is exclusively for the examination office at Saarland University. If you are a student in the Department of Language Science and Technology, this form is not required.
