After the mobility: How to get your Transcript of Records

At the end of your stay you will get a Transcript of Records about your achievments at JLU.

The academic achievements of our Erasmus and international students cannot be recorded electronically - and therefore are not visible in the Flexnow online platform.

This is the reason why the ToR cannot be issued automatically and needs to be created manually based on your grades. If you have any questions please follow the instructions below or consult sekretariat.marauhn@recht.uni-giessen.de

 

Please proceed as follows to obtain a ToR from the Erasmus-Office at the Faculty of Law:

  1. Attend a class, ending with a written or oral exam, or a written paper, essay …
  2. Inform the lecturer in the first three weeks of class that you are an Erasmus student and that you would like to participate in their class as well as take the exam.
  3. Take the exams.
  4. Ask the lecturer to send you your grade via email and forward this email to sekretariat.marauhn@recht.uni-giessen.de
  5. Ask the Language Centre and different faculties to send you an email with the certificate or with the grade. Please forward this information to sekretariat.marauhn@recht.uni-giessen.de, too.
  6. We collect your certificates and grades and the ToR is issued, signed and sent to you via email.

If you have deadlines at your home university regarding the date of submission of the Transcript of Records please get in touch with us!
