Forms of recognition
Step by step to the Learning Agreement - Erasmus+
The Learning Agreement A contains the (provisional) course selection at the partner university and the recognition of these courses at Paderborn University . The document must be completed and signed by all parties involved before the start of your mobility.
Provision of documents:
It is the responsibility of the student as applicant to provide all documents required for the recognition assessment. If no meaningful documents can be provided in advance, it is advisable to collect them during the stay abroad and to have them recognised subsequently via the Learning Agreement B "During the Mobility".
Important: Please note that the subsequent submission of course documents (outlines, course descriptions, transcripts, etc.) may always be required for subsequent recognition, i.e. after the stay abroad.
Finalisation of the Learning Agreement:
1. course selection | Search the module handbook of the foreign university for suitable courses that you would like to take. |
2. allocation of the courses | Assign the courses to a department of the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics according to their content focus. Please note the special regulations for IBS language courses. These require a separate "Learning Agreement IBS Languages". |
3. register | Enter the courses and their departmental assignment in the supplementary sheet to the Learning Agreement. |
4. submit | Submit all documents required for assessment to the Internationalisation Office of the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics. Please send the following documents in an appropriate digital form (PDF files/scans as PDF files, no photos) to mobility(at)wiwi.uni-paderborn.uni-paderborn(dot)de. Please send all files as individual PDFs (for syllabi, please send the original and translation, if necessary, together for each course). |
5. decision | The decision on recognition will be certified on the basis of the appropriate documents submitted. |
6 Digital Learning Agreement | The Internationalisation Office will inform you as soon as the course assessment has been completed and will send you an overview of your recognition confirmations and a form to help you complete the Digital Learning Agreement. |
7 Mobility Online | Create the Digital Learning Agreement via Mobility Online (using the completion guide), sign it and send it off. |
8. finished | The Learning Agreement is checked for accuracy and made available to you in the online dashboard |
*Name them as follows:
*Document title*_surname (for Syllabi instead of surname if available please use course number). Document titles would be e.g. Learning Agreement A, supplementary sheet, transcript of records, ...
Incomplete or qualitatively insufficient documents cannot be accepted and will lead to a delay in processing.
Specifically, we require the following for the Learning Agreement
- Supplement to the Learning Agreement (application for module examination/exceptional changes)
- (Learning Agreement IBS Languages, if applicable)
- Proof of performance from the examination office (a screenshot is not sufficient)
- Syllabi/course descriptions of all the courses you have chosen abroad, showing the course content and the number of ECTS credits/workload. The original course descriptions of the partner university must be provided and, if the language of instruction differs from English or German, additional translations into English/German in a document with the original. All syllabi should be sent as individual PDF files.
The Learning Agreement B is only necessary if courses have changed compared to the Learning Agreement A and therefore require new recognition by the faculty. The Learning Agreement B contains changes to the course selection at the partner university as well as the changed recognition of these courses at Paderborn University. The document must be drawn up within seven weeks of the start of the mobility (start of lectures) and signed by all parties involved.
Completion of the Learning Agreement:
1. allocation of courses | Assign the courses you have chosen to a department of the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics according to their content focus |
2. register | Enter the courses and their departmental assignment in the supplementary sheet to the Learning Agreement. Only the newly selected courses or courses that are to be re-examined should be entered on the supplementary sheet. |
3. submission | Send all documents required for the assessment to the Internationalisation Office of the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics:
|
4. digital learning agreement | The Internationalisation Office will inform you as soon as the course examination has been completed and will send you an overview of your recognition confirmations and a form to help you complete the Digital Learning Agreement. |
5 Mobility Online | Create the Digital Learning Agreement using the form, sign it and send it off. |
6. finished | The Learning Agreement is checked for accuracy and made available to you in the online dashboard. |
The Learning Agreement "After the Mobility" contains an overview of the examinations you have taken at the partner university and their recognition at Paderborn University.
Completion of the Learning Agreement:
1. fill in | Download the credit transfer form and enter the data. Fill in the left part of the table, the right part will be filled in by the recogniser. Always specify exactly in which study area of your PAUL credit account the recognised module is to be booked. You can make a note of this in the "Recognition for the module" field if enough space is left for the recogniser's entries. Ideally, you should enter the fields to the left of the table or on a separate sheet. Note for the IBS degree programme: In the case of recognition of language courses, the recognition form must be submitted independently to the language lecturers in advance in order to obtain signatures. |
2. documents | Please note that for subsequent recognition, i.e. after the stay abroad, the subsequent submission of course documents (outlines, course descriptions, transcripts, ...) may always be required. |
3. registration in PAUL | Submit the completed and signed credit transfer form together with the PDF scan of your Learning Agreement, which you received from the Internationalisation Office ("Gesamtübersicht", filename: LA Out_...), as well as the Transcript of Records of the foreign university to the Internationalisation Office of the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics. To verify your ToR, you will need the email in which you received the transcript of records or a screenshot from the online portal from which you were able to download it. The documents will then be sent internally to the Examinations Office and recorded in PAUL. The Internationalisation Office will inform you when the documents have been forwarded to the Examinations Office. |
