After the Mobility (ATM)

Time to say goodbye! You have studied one or two semesters at TH Köln, made new acquaintances, got to know a new city and its surroundings and hopefully come to love it. Before you return home with your new experiences and impressions, you should consider the following tips.
The points listed are intended as a guideline. It may well be that not every one of them is relevant to you.
You must complete the following steps at TH Köln:
Checklist before you leave
Certificate of Departure/Stay & Mobility Online (MobO)
- Check whether you have completed all the necessary steps in Mobility Online and entered your end date.
- Have your Confirmation of Departure / Confirmation of Stay signed by the Department of International Affairs before departure. This step is mandatory for Erasmus+ students.
- Please note: the date for the CoD/CoS is the last examination date/last day at the faculty or at most the end date of the lecture period in the corresponding semester.
- Please send us an e-mail with the following information:
- Your full name
- Date and name of your last examination or course at TH Köln
- Name of the responsible examiner/teacher
- (If desired: the CoS template of your home university. Otherwise you will receive your CoS with the TH Köln template).
How do it get my Transcript of Records?
Transcript of Records / Notenspiegel
You print out your Transcript of Records (ToR) via PSSO - the Department of International Affairs does not have access to your ToR. Please note that you have access to PSSO for eight months after your departure. If you need an original signature and stamp on your ToR, please contact the Office of Student and Examination Services on your campus. Please note that the Office of Student and Examination Services cannot always complete your Transcript of Records by the time you leave. The lecturers usually have six weeks to correct the exams. Only then are the grades forwarded to the Examinations Office. If not all grades have been posted or you have been waiting longer for a grade, please contact the lecturer responsible and your respective Office of Student and Examination Services .
Important - Language courses: If you would like to have the language courses attended at TH Köln listed on your transcript, please send the corresponding certificate to your respective study office. The Office of Student and Examination Services will then enter the language courses in your transcript.
Grading system
In the German grading system, courses are graded from 1 to 5, with 1 being the best and 5 the worst grade. A course is considered passed if the grade is 4 or better.
Courses in which no grades are awarded are called ungraded lectures. On the transcript of records, these ungraded lectures are listed as passed or failed.
1.00 - 1.50 very good
1.51 - 2.50 good
2.51 - 3.50 satisfactory
3.51 - 4.00 sufficient
> 4.00 failed
Disenrollment & TH-systems
- Apply for disenrollment.
- Once you have disenrolled, you can download a certificate of exmatriculation from CaMS (tab "reports" or “Bescheide/Bescheinigungen”) if required.
- Please note that you will no longer have access to the IT resources linked to the campusID (e.g. ILIAS/ILU, VPN) after exmatriculation/after the end of the semester. Exception: You can still log in to both PSSO and CaMS six months after exmatriculation. The university e-mail account (smail) can also be used for six months after exmatriculation. However, we recommend that you integrate your smails into an external mail program so that you can save the emails there and retrieve them at any time. You can find information on this on the Campus IT website.
- Save documents, information etc. from ILIAS/ILU when you need them. Your access to ILIAS/ILU will be blocked after de-registration.
