Information on current semester
Learning Agreement
The Learning Agreement is a contract between you, your home university and the host faculty at the Bauhaus Universität Weimar.
It includes a list of courses, which the Erasmus student should attend at the host university. As an exchange student, you will be advised by YOUR academic advisor from your home university about the courses offered at our faculty. You can obtain the relevant form from your home university.
The courses offered at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar for the upcoming semester will not be published until just a few weeks before the semester begins. Furthermore, due to the unique system used for project assignment it is not possible to define the exact courses which a student will attend and therefore you will have to fill out the Learning Agreement "before mobility" section on the basis of the general disciplines offered in Weimar.
Gabriela Oroz will sign your Learning Agreement. Please do not send your Learning Agreement before having been admitted by our university.
Transcript of Records
The Transcript of Records (ToR) documents the performance of a student by listing the courses completed, the ECTS credit points acquired, as well as the local grades obtained and the ECTS grades.
The responsible examination office issues this copy of the data to all students who have completed their stay abroad. In order to receive the Transcript of Records, you must contact Nicole Wichmann-Sperl at the beginning of the respective examination period (July in Summer Semester / January in Winter Semester)
Please send an email to transcript[at]uni-weimar.de with the Transcript Generator Sheet. This sheet will be sent to you by Gabriela Oroz before. You will be able to generate your own ToR as long as you are matriculated. Please find further information in this Manual (page 7, "Notenspiegel").
As soon as all the examination results will have been entered in the BISON portal, you can generate your digital transcript of records. If you need a stamped and signed copy, please contact Nicole Wichmann-Sperl.
Note: The Transcript of Records can only show the results / grading after being announced by the respective lecturer. This usually might take some weeks after the exam date (up to the end of September for Summer Semester / up to the end of March for the Winter Semester).
