Fixed ECTS threshold |

If a student has obtained
then it can be assumed without further examination that the student's course of study is within the usual range. |
Individual checks |
If a student has fallen below the above thresholds, the BAföG Officer will make an individual assessment at technical level of whether the course of study can still be certified as "usual". For this purpose, the student is requested to present in writing that he or she is pursuing his or her studies in a goal-oriented manner. The statement can, for example, be supplemented by certificates of completed exercises, offered in some basic modules like Mathematics, Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering, and so on. The student should also present the reports from Basic Laboratory Electrical Engineering. In particular, proofs of voluntary efforts (e.g. completed exercises) should be attached. Furthermore, the BAföG Officer will check the structured course of studies on the basis of an examination overview prepared by the Examination Office. This can be done, for example, on the basis of the following criteria:
If necessary, the BAföG Officer may request a discussion with the student to clarify the overall situation. If necessary, the BAföG Officer will hold a discussion with the student to clarify the overall situation. On the basis of the ECTS achieved and the above individual evaluation of the study situation, a "normal" course of study can still be certified if the student falls moderately below the ECTS threshold, but has convincingly presented his or her further study plan. In other cases, this will not be certified. The student may then be advised to apply for a postponement of the performance evaluation at the BAföG Office and, if applicable, to assert existing personal reasons for not reaching the usual level according to §15(3) at the BAföG Office. |
