Certificate according to § 48 BAFöG
BAFöG recipients' academic performance is checked at regular intervals.
As a rule, the responsible BAFöG office will only require a current transcript of records with all grades (including those that have not been passed), as the total number of CP/ECTS is documented on the transcript of records and the individual grades are shown with the examination date.
Overview of performance requirements in LP/ECTS by degree program up to the 6th semester (FS):
| FS | all Bachelorstg. | WiIng Dipl. |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 15 | |
| 2 | 30 | |
| 3 | 45 | |
| 4 | 60 | 61 |
| 5 | 90 | 91 |
| 6 | 120 | 122 |
In exceptional cases, the (online fillable) certificate according to § 48 BAFöG must be submitted to the responsible BAFöG office. In this case, the pre-filled form must be submitted to the Examinations Office of the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics. Please note: This type of certificate of achievement must be expressly requested by the responsible BAFöG office administrator with immediate effect.
The basis for the certificate of achievement is usually the level of performance achieved in the previous semester, measured by the successful examination results and the assigned credit points. This certificate is usually obtained for the 4th and 6th semester (see also overview below).
It should be noted that when the form is submitted to the faculty, the semester for which the BAFöG office would like a certificate of study status is entered in addition to the personal data. In many cases, this is not the current semester but the previous semester. If in doubt, this point should be clarified directly with the BAFöG office.
If the certificate is to be issued for the current semester and relevant achievements are still outstanding, a covering letter should explicitly state which examinations are still to be taken in this semester.
Standard procedure:
Submit the current transcript of records together with the other application documents directly to the Studentenwerk Karlsruhe, BAFöG office.
Procedure in exceptional cases (after explicit request by the responsible BAFöG office):
Submit the form completed with your details in accordance with § 48 BAFöG to the Examinations Office of the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics together with a current transcript of records and all required information. If you have any comments, please include them. Please include your e-mail address so that we can contact you if we have any questions. In connection with BAFöG abroad, other BAFöG offices are sometimes responsible. In this case, we need the relevant address and the order to send the certificate there.
Processing time: 14 days
Return: Internal forwarding, directly to the BAFöG office.
