If you withdraw yourself from the programme at a time when the university could have withdrawn you, you must apply in the same way as if the university had withdrawn you - see below.

How to apply

Go to the application portal and find the programme type “Change of study/transfer – Bachelor’s programs/Master’s programs.” Then find the programme you wish to be re-enrolled in.

If you cannot find the programme, it is not possible to be re-enrolled in the programme at this time.

When you apply, you must complete and submit this form along with the following to your application:

• A transcript with all exam attempts (transcript RA052U). Ask your previous institution for this transcript. (if you have not previously been enrolled in the programme at AAU).
• Curriculum or course descriptions for all courses you have passed (if you have not previously been enrolled in the programme at AAU).
• Enrolment and withdrawal confirmation (if you have not previously been enrolled in the programme at AAU).
• Documentation that your studies were not to be discontinued by the university, e.g., due to failure to meet the study start test, first-year test, or exhausted exam attempts, etc. Ask your previous institution for this documentation. (if you have not previously been enrolled in the programme at AAU).
• Consent form allowing the Admissions Office at AAU to contact your previous institution if necessary for processing your application.
• High school diploma and English test (if you are applying for a bachelor’s programme).
• Documentation of language requirements, such as a high school diploma or English test (if you are applying for a master’s programme).
• Bachelor’s degree certificate (if you are applying for a master’s programme).

If you have previously studied the same programme you are applying for but were withdrawn from the programme by the university, Aalborg University must assess whether you have significantly improved chances of completing the programme. This applies regardless of which university you previously attended.

Examples of reasons for withdrawal can include:

• You did not pass the initial study test.
• You have exhausted your exam attempts in one or more subjects.
• You did not participate in or pass the first-year exam.
• You did not meet the study activity requirements.

You can only be re-enrolled again if the circumstances that prevented you from completing the programme have changed, and you now have significantly improved your chances of completing the programme.

Aalborg University’s assessment of whether you have significantly improved study opportunities includes both academic and health-related factors.

How to apply

Go to the application portal and find the type of education “Study change/transfer – Bachelor’s programs/Master’s programs”. Then find the programme you wish to be re-enrolled in.

If you cannot find the programme, it is not possible to be re-enrolled in the programme this time.

For your re-enrolment application, you must complete and submit this form. You must explain:

• Why you did not complete the programme.
• Why you believe you are now able to complete the programme.
• What documentation you have that can support this.

Aalborg University’s assessment of whether you have significantly improved study opportunities may include both academic and health-related factors.

Requirements for documentation of health conditions

If illness or other health conditions prevented you from completing the programme at first, relevant documentation could include a medical certificate, health record, psychologist or psychiatrist statement, or anything else you deem relevant.

A medical certificate/psychologist statement should be in Danish or English and include:

• Your name and CPR number or date of birth.
• The name, CVR number, provider number, signature, and stamp of the doctor/psychologist.
• The date of issuance.
• When was your first contact with the doctor/psychologist regarding the course of treatment.

• Information about your current condition and an assessment of your ability to resume studies.
• A clear indication of whether the medical/psychological assessment is based on the doctor’s/psychologist’s own examination or the patient's information.

Examples of documentation for academic qualifications

• Completed courses or educational elements that have significantly improved your ability to complete the programme.
• Employer's declaration, dated and signed, with information on the nature and duration of the work tasks that can substantiate that you have significantly improved study opportunities
• New and previous study regulations documenting that the programme has significantly changed content in one or more areas relevant for your re-enrolment application.

You must also upload the following to your application

• A transcript with all exam attempts (transcript RA052U). Ask at your previous study programme for this transcript (if you have not previously been enrolled in the programme at AAU).
• Curriculum or course descriptions for all courses you have passed (if you have not previously been enrolled in the programme at AAU).
• Enrolment and withdrawal confirmation (if you have not previously been enrolled in the programme at AAU).

• If you wish to apply for re-enrolment with programme start in August/September, you may apply during the period from 1 February to 10 August.
• If you wish to apply for re-enrolment with programme start on 1 February, you may apply during the period from 1 September to 1 December.

Please note that if you apply for re-enrolment after 10 August/1 December, you may not receive a decision on your application until after the start of the semester, as the processing time for re-enrolment applications is longer.

When applying for re-enrolment, it is important that you submit all required documentation. If AAU requests additional documentation from you, you must comply with the stated deadlines.

If the deadlines are not met, AAU may not be able to process your application before the start of the semester.

When you have applied via the application portal, the following will be considered:

• Whether you have been unenrolled from the programme for at least 5 months.
• Whether you meet the current admission requirements for the programme.
• Whether you have passed what corresponds to the first year of study at AAU.
• Whether there are available study places at the relevant level of study.
• Whether you meet the requirements for significantly improved study opportunities, if applicable.

If the above requirements are met, you can be re-enrolled in the programme. The study board will then decide whether you can receive credit transfer for more than the first year of study and prepare an individual study plan for you.

Please note that if you have already used examination attempts in a course, no additional attempts will be granted. However, if you have exhausted all examination attempts in a course, you will be granted one additional attempt in that course.

Responses to applications for re-enrolment are given on an ongoing basis and, in some cases, shortly before the start of the semester.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact the admissions office. Contact information can be found at the bottom of the page.
