Student Advisory Service

Recognition of General Studies and External module

Please use the following templates for the recognition of study and exam credits within the framework of the General Studies and the external module. Please complete the forms for the recognition of external modules and general studies using Acrobat Reader (freeware, link to download). Forms filled out with the Safari browser or the Preview app (macOS) cannot be displayed correctly on the computers of the University of Münster.

From WS 20/21 Exam regulations (V20)

From exam regulations V20 onwards, external modules and General Studies can only be registered and deregistered via QISPOS. It is therefore no longer necessary or possible to have General Studies and external modules recognised by the Student Advisory Service using recognition forms. Please note that courses that were not registered via QISPOS can no longer be recognised retrospectively.

From WS 15/16 Exam regulations (V15)

• Template: Recognition of external module (pdf)
• Template: Certificate of General Studies (pdf)
• Template: Recognition of General Studies (pdf)

The grade for the external module is recorded in QISPOS as a whole by the Examination Office. For examination regulations V15, this is based on a recognition issued by the IfK's academic advisor (for V20 this recognition is not required, see above). You can have this issued by email by submitting your certificates of achievement by email/scan, which show that you have earned all 20 credit points for the external module. Please provide a QISPOS printout to prove that you have already completed the external module in QISPOS.
 
In addition to the recognition form you have completed yourself, please, also send us your certificates of achievement by email/PDF.
