Recognition of Credits

All recognitions are requested via the ATool. Log in with your university ID and follow the instructions there. After submitting the request, the Student's Office will receive an email and work on your case.

If you have any questions, use the tutorials linked at the ATool or feel free to email the Student's Office with any questions.

Information for students not enrolled

As a student who is not enrolled, you cannot yet access the ATool. If you would like to have a preliminary assessment of recognition before you begin your studies, please contact the Student's Office directly by e-mail. You can then also be informed of the subject semester placement. After enrollment, the recognition can be carried out via the ATool.

Have you aquired creditpoints abroad or at a different german university? Would you like to credit previous courses after changing your field of studies at HHU? Or do you need to credit a course retrospectively?

All things regarding credit transfer are done via A-Tool. You simply sign in with your usual university handle + password and follow the prompts. After you have submitted your request the Students Office will process it. Please note that you need to attach your most recent automated transcript of records (Leistungsübersicht). 

NOTE! The A-Tool is not equivalent to the regular BN-sign up in the Studierendenportal. Please make sure to meet the regular deadlines for your BNs in order for your credits to be transferred to your transcrip of records automatically.

If you have any questions regarding the process, you can find tutorials on the A-Tool page. You can also contact the Students' Office if there are any unanswered questions.

For students that are not enrolled yet: Please note that you only have access to the A-Tool after enrollment.
