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 This rule means that you must have been withdrawn from the degree programme at least five months before the programme you are applying for starts.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The rules that apply to you depend on how you were withdrawn from the degree programme.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If you de-registered from the degree programme yourself but were due to be withdrawn by the university, you must apply in the same way as if the university had withdrawn you – see below.

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.
