Re-enrolment is for those who have passed the first academic year of the degree programme they are applying for.
When you apply for re-enrolment, the five-month rule applies. This rule means that you must have been withdrawn from the degree programme at least five months before the programme you are applying for starts.
The prerequisites for being re-enrolled are:
Are you unsure whether you have passed the first academic year?
Perhaps you are unsure whether what you have passed corresponds to the first academic year. If you were previously enrolled in the degree programme at AU, the structure of the programme might have changed, and the first academic year might now consist of different courses. If you have been enrolled in the programme at another university in Denmark, the first academic year at AU might be structured differently and consist of different courses than you have passed at your previous university.
If you are unsure whether you can get a credit transfer for the entire first academic year, we recommend that you apply for both re-enrolment and for ordinary admission to the new programme. It is not a problem to apply for both things at the same time.
Special rules apply when you apply for a degree programme on which you have previously been enrolled
The rules that apply to you depend on how you were withdrawn from the degree programme.
If you withdrew from the degree programme yourself, It is important that you apply by the deadlines for re-admission.
If you de-registered from the degree programme yourself but were due to be withdrawn by the university, you must apply in the same way as if the university had withdrawn you – see below.
How to apply
To apply for re-enrolment, please find the type of programme called “Change of programme/transfer – Bachelor’s degree programmes/Master’s degree programmes” in the application system. Then find the programme in which you wish to be re-enrolled.

Aarhus University must assess whether you have significantly improved possibilities of completing the programme, if you were withdrawn from your programme by the university. This applies regardless of which university you were enrolled at.
Examples of reasons for being withdrawn from a degree programme are:
You will only be able to start the programme if the circumstances that prevented you from completing the programme before have changed to such an extent that it will now be possible to complete the programme.
Aarhus University’s assessment of whether you have significantly improved study possibilities includes both academic and health considerations.

Requirements for documentation of health-related issues

If you apply for re-enrolment, you may send an application after the application deadline. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to process applications received after the application deadline before the next semester begins. We also cannot guarantee that there are available student places or thesis supervisors. Therefore, we always recommend that you send your application before the application deadline.
If you wish to apply for re-enrolment after the application deadline, you must write an email to indskriv@au.dk, containing information about your full name, previous student number and to which specific Bachelor’s or Master’s degree programme you wish to apply for re-enrolment.
Please note that only applications for re-enrolment are processed by Aarhus University after the application deadline.
Applications are assessed on an ongoing basis. It can take a long time to process applications, and some applicants will only receive a response in August (for summer admissions) / January (for winter admissions).
Remember to check your application
It is important that you check your application regularly to see if we have requested further documentation. You should receive an email notification when there is new information in your application. Unfortunately, these notifications sometimes go into the applicant’s spam folder and are overlooked. Furthermore, applicants sometimes provide an email address that they do not check regularly.
If you have any questions about applying for re-enrolment, you are very welcome to write to indskriv@au.dk.
