  • Apply for, hand in or collect certificates, references or other documents

    General certificates (performance overviews, clearance certificates, etc.):

    You can apply for certificates at any time via email (pruefungsverwaltung@hs-worms.de). We will send them to you via email.

    Course certificates / enrolment certificates:

    You can print these out after successfully re-registering for the semester after logging in to the LSF portal. There, you will also receive the course certificates that you need for BAföG applications.

    References:

    The application for the creation of your reference will be sent to you by post as soon as you have completed parts of your course. Please hand over the completed application for the creation of a reference together with €4.25 in postage stamps either by post or directly to the external postbox of building M of the University. Due to the large number of parties involved, the creation of the certificate takes about 3-4 weeks, especially if not all parties are regularly at the University. If you need a certificate attesting as to the completion of your studies in the meantime, you can apply to our colleagues in the examination office via email (pruefungsverwaltung@hs-worms.de).

    Alternatively, you can pick up your certificate from the service office of Student Services during opening hours. If you plan to do so, you will not be required to provide €4.05 in postage stamps.

    Deregistration certificates:

    You can obtain the deregistration application form from our website.

    Please fill it in and send it to us either via email (studieren@hs-worms.de) or by post. You are also welcome to drop the application in the external postbox of building M of the University.

  • Validation of student IDs and application for new IDs

    Validation:

    You can currently update your student ID for the new semester in building A, 1st floor, at the computer centre's validation terminal. A second terminal is located on the ground floor of building M. Please note that you must first be re-registered for the new semester.

    Application for a new student ID:

    You can apply for a new student ID via email (studieren@hs-worms.de). Our colleagues will then contact you to clarify everything else.

    Replacement for student ID cards:

    If you do not have a student ID, a photo ID (e.g. passport or driver's license) in combination with a current certificate of enrolment — which you can print out from LSF — serves as a replacement for the regular student ID. If you cannot print out a current confirmation from LSF, you have not yet re-registered.

  • Re-registration for a new semester

    The re-registration for a new semester takes place after the semester fee has been successfully booked. Further information on re-registration is available here.

    If you have transferred the fee and cannot print out a new certificate of enrolment from LSF within 1 week, it is possible that the payment was not automatically assigned to your student account.

    Please send us a payment receipt (account statement, transfer receipt, etc.) via email (studieren@hs-worms.de), on which the payment reference, the amount and the payer of the transfer can be seen. We will then assign the booking and report back to you. You will be able to see your re-registration in LSF one day later at the latest. If further documents are missing for the re-registration, we will inform you of this via email.
