Re-enrollment

Re-enrollment is for those who have completed the first year of study in the programme they are applying for.


Requirements for re-enrollment:

  • You have completed the equivalent of the entire first year of study in the programme you are applying for.
  • You meet the current admission requirements for the programme (except for grade requirements).
  • You have been withdrawn for at least five months before the start of the programme you are applying to.
  • There are available spots in the programme.
  • You can demonstrate significantly improved possibilities of completing the programme (if you were withdrawn by the university or were at risk of withdrawal at the time).


Unsure if you have completed the first year?
If you are uncertain whether you have completed the equivalent of the first year as currently structured at Aarhus University, note that programme structures may have changed. If you previously attended Aarhus University, the first year might now include different courses.

If you are unsure whether you meet the criteria for full credit for the first year, we recommend applying for both re-enrollment and re-admission. It is possible to submit two applications simultaneously. In either case, credit will be granted for completed courses where applicable.
 

Special rules for re-enrollment in a programme you previously attended. The rules that apply depend on the circumstances under which you left the programme:

Did you withdraw from the programme yourself?

If you withdrew from the programme at a time when you could have been unenrolled by the university, you must apply for re-enrollment and document significantly improved possibilities of completing the programme. See the section "Was the university responsible for your withdrawal?"


How to apply

To apply for re-enrollment, select the programme type labeled “Change of Program/Transfer – Bachelor’s programmes/Master’s programmes” in the application system. Then, select the specific programme you wish to re-enroll in.

When applying, you must upload the following documents:

  • A transcript of records including all attempts (transcript must be titled RA052U or equivalent) (if you are not a former AU student).
  • A withdrawal letter or confirmation including the reason and date of withdrawal from your previous university (if you are not a former AU student).
  • Study regulations or course descriptions for all courses (if you are not a former AU student).
  • Diploma from your secondary education (if applying for a Bachelor’s programme).
  • Documentation of language requirements, such as a high school diploma (if applying for a Master’s programme).
  • Documentation of a completed Bachelor’s degree (if applying for a Master’s programme and you are not a former AU student).

Did the university withdraw you from the programme?

If you previously attended the same programme you are applying for but were withdrawn by the university, Aarhus University must assess whether you can document significantly improved possibilities of completing the programme. This applies regardless of the university you previously attended.


Examples of withdrawal reasons include:

  • Exhausted examination attempts
  • Inactivity
  • Exceeded maximum study period

When applying for re-enrollment, you must demonstrate that your prospects of completing the programme have significantly improved since your previous enrollment.


You will only be allowed to re-enroll if:

  • You can document that the circumstances preventing you from completing the programme have changed sufficiently to make completion possible.
  • You meet all admission requirements for the programme.


Definition of significantly improved study possibilities
Significantly improved possibilities of completing the programme mean that you are now in a significantly better position to complete the programme. Improvements must be documented and demonstrate that your situation is better than at the time of withdrawal.

Both academic and health-related factors may be considered in the assessment. Aarhus University will only include documented circumstances in its evaluation.

Examples of accepted documentation include:

  • Completion of relevant academic courses or components of higher education after withdrawal (e.g., courses through Open University or similar).
  • Health documentation such as medical certificates, psychological or psychiatric evaluations, or other relevant health records.


How to apply?

  • Select the programme type labeled “Change of programme/transfer – Bachelor’s degree programmes/Master’s degree programmes” in the application system. Then, find the specific programme you wish to re-enroll in.

When applying, upload the following:

  • A completed form outlining how your possibilities for completing the programme have significantly improved. Use this form to describe and document the relevant improvements.
  • Additional documentation, such as:
    • Medical certificates, if health issues were a factor.
    • Transcripts, course descriptions, or other academic records.

Re-enrollment with a supplementary subject

Re-enrollment with the same supplementary subject

If you are applying for re-enrollment in your previous combination of core subject and supplementary subject, you only need to apply for re-enrollment in the core subject. This applies to both Bachelor's and Master's programmes and supplementary subjects. The university will assess your eligibility for re-enrollment in the supplementary subject as part of the overall assessment of your application for re-enrollment.
 

Re-enrollment with a change of Bachelor's supplementary subject

If you are applying for re-enrollment but wish to change your previous Bachelor's supplementary subject to a new one, you must – in addition to applying for admission to your previous core subject – also apply for admission to the new Bachelor’s supplementary subject during the official application round, with the application deadline on 15 April. You should also inform us no later than the application deadline 1 March whether you wish to be re-enrolled in your previous Bachelor’s supplementary subject or if you intend to apply for a new Bachelor’s supplementary subject before the application deadline on 15 April.

Re-enrollment with a Master's supplementary subject

It is not possible to change your previous Master's supplementary subject to a new one.

Application deadlines

For degree programmes that are open for re-enrollment in August/September, the application deadline is 1 March

For degree programmes that are open for re-enrollment in January/February, the application deadline is 15 October.

If you wish to change your previous Bachelor's supplementary subject the deadline for this is 15 April.

Whether a programme is open for re-enrollment depends on whether there is deemed to be space available in the specific programme. You can check if the programme is open for re-enrollment in the application system DANS by selecting the programme type "Change of programme/transfer" and checking whether it is possible to apply for re-enrollment to the relevant programme

When will you receive a reply?

Applications are processed on a continuous basis. Processing times may vary, and some applicants will receive responses as late as August (for fall admission) or January (for spring admission).
