If you withdraw yourself from the programme at a time when the university could have withdrawn you, you must apply in the same way as if the university had withdrawn you - see below.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 fill out and upload 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If you have previously studied the same programme you are applying for but were withdrawn from the programme by the university, Aalborg University must assess whether you have significantly improved chances of completing the programme.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 upload 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.

• 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

• Curriculum or course descriptions for all courses you have passed (if you have not previously been enrolled in the programme at AAU).

If you do not apply before the deadline, any available study places will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis from the following dates:

• Available study places with a possible start in August/September will be offered on 20 June.
• Available study places with a possible start in February will be offered on 18 November.
  • Please note that if you apply for available study places, you may receive a response to your application after the semester has started, as there is a longer processing time for re-enrolment cases.

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.

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.
