Required scope of achievements for the acquisition of the IT certificate 

To obtain the IT certificate, you must have three fully completed RZ modules, at least two of which must be from the (elective) mandatory area (2015 version: modules RZ-M01 to M06). 

To successfully complete a RZ module, as a rule two courses of 3 ECTS points each must be attended and passed, of which at least one course must have a grade. If both courses are graded, the module grade results from the average of the two performances. 
Exceptions: Modules RZ M61, RZ M62 and RZ M63 - no grading is required in these modules. 

In addition, there are some courses that have a scope of 4 semester hours per week and a value of 6 ECTS credits. 

With the graded passing of such a course, a module is also considered to have been fully completed.

Application for the IT certificate 

As soon as your achievements have been completely recorded in FlexNow, you can apply for the issuing of the certificate informally by email via support.sita@ur.de. 

Please enter your name, your matriculation number, your course of studies and the examination regulations under which you are studying. 

The IT certificate is an official certificate with a seal and signature. Please note that the certificate can only be issued to you once and allow sufficient lead time for the issue.

Registration for participation in the courses will take place via the student portal "SPUR" in the new course catalogue system "EXA" from winter semester 2021/22! 

A login with your computer centre account (RZ account) in the menu bar on the top right is required. 
Click on the wine-red field "Show university course catalogue" to go to "Courses open to students from all faculties" and then to "Study-accompanying It-training". 

The introductory text is followed by the course programme in both module catalogues, broken down according to the new study regulations (= for students from WS 2015/16, i.e. the vast majority) and the old study regulations, and here again subdivided into (elective) mandatory and elective areas.

Clicking on the respective RZ modules (e.g., Modulkatalog - Module Catalogue - Additional Offer - Study-acconpanying It-training - from WS15/16 (new study regulations) > Mandatory Modules: Modules RZ-M01 to RZ-M06 > RZ-M01 gültig ab WS2015/16 - Texte erstellen und gestalten (Creating and Editing Texts) opens another drop-down menu in which the individual courses of the module are listed chronologically by course number. 

Please note: In the module, courses may be differentiated according to 6 or 3 credit points. 

When selecting a course (e.g., RZ M01 > 60113a: Flyers, Posters, booklets and Master's Thesis - Design and Image Editing), further course information (basic data with registration period, course content, mandatory requirements, proof of academic achievement; course dates, modules etc.) is displayed. 

Here you can register for the course within the deposited course registration phase. 
Following the registration phase, course places will be allocated via an automated selection procedure, and you will be notified of your allocated status by email.

---

In the university course catalogue, the modules in which the respective course can be in-cluded are shown in the course description of each course under the section "Mod-ules/Courses of study". 

Example: 
Course 60110a - Microsoft Word Basic Course 

Allocated modules: 

• RZ M01 (study regulations 2015) 
• RZ M11.1 and RZ M12.1 (study regulations 2009) 
• RZ ZL (voluntary additional achievements) => please note: there are no ECTS points for the voluntary additional achievements

---

As part of your IT training, you are free to attend as many or as few courses as you like. You can view a balance sheet of your currently booked IT achievements in FlexNow at any time and generate a printout. 
Please note, however, that the official IT certificate, which certifies the completion of the IT training, can only be obtained if you have completed at least three modules in full, at least two of which must be from the mandatory area (RZ M01-RZ M06).

---

The respective importing study course and the "Prüfungsamt" (examination office) of your main study course decide on the recognition and value of IT training courses. 

For more information, please contact the examination office of your main study course.

For study courses assigned to the Humanities Examination Office ("PA Phil"), please refer to the relevant website (in German) for information on achievement recognition! 

---

If you completed your first course at SITA up to and including the summer semester 2015, the "old" study regulations (in German) from 2009 still apply to you! 

The training is divided into a (elective) mandatory area and an elective area, with each of these areas consisting of three main topics. Three modules are offered per thematic focus. 

A module usually consists of two courses and is completed with an examination or by passing partial module examinations. 

To obtain the IT certificate, you must have three fully completed RZ modules, at least two of which must be from the (elective) mandatory area (modules RZ M11 to RZ M33). 

For further information on the contents and requirements of the modules, please refer to the respective Module Catalogue for Study-accompanying IT-training (in German).

When does it make sense to register in FlexNow for a course in the RZ-ZL (additional voluntary examination achievements)?

The name “zusätzliche...Leistungen” (“additional...achievements”) says it all: this is where you register for all courses that are not (or no longer) part of an RZ module!

An RZ module (e.g. RZ-M01) is complete with 2 courses of 3 ECTS (or 1 course of 6 ECTS). If you now want to register for another course from the RZ-M01 module in FlexNow, then choose the ZL! 

There are no ECTS credits for the courses booked under the ZL - so always register for all courses that you want to include in the elective area of your degree program in FlexNow in the relevant RZ modules and not under the ZL!
