Credit Transfer

Credit transfer from another university

To transfer course credit from another university (in Germany or abroad) to UR, the following documents must be submitted:

• An academic transcript, issued by the previous university and listing the achieved credit points and grades (the academic transcript is a list of the academic achievements to date, including grades and credit points)
• A course description of the course(s) to be transferred. Credit transfer for coursework and exams taken at other universities (in Germany or abroad) can be granted if the acquired skills do not differ significantly from the ones taught at the University of Regensburg.
• Signed credit transfer form. The different forms can be downloaded from the Examinations Office's website for B.A/M.A. and for Lehramt.

N.B.: Credit may be transferred to a specific module or to the electives (freier Wahlbereich). 

Credit transfer within UR

For the credit transfer within UR (for example when studying for two degrees simultaneously or after changing from one degree program to another), you will need the following:

• Current academic transcript of records, which you can download yourself from FlexNow
• B.A./M.A.: please fill in the form for credit transfer for B.A./M.A. You can find some detailed and useful information regarding studying for two degrees and the change of degree programs (for example, from a teaching program to B.A.) as well as the related credit transfer, compiled by the Examinations Office. 
• Lehramt: please fill in the form for credit transfer for Lehramt

N.B.: It is possible to transfer credits to your electives (freier Wahlbereich im B.A./allgemeiner Wahlbereich nach § 22 LPO).
