Once you return to SDU

We hope you enjoyed your study abroad! Now, there is a few things needed to be done when you return home.

Once you complete your study abroad, there are a few things you need to do to get everything settled.

Below, you will find a list of things you need to do and look into.

Please note that the information below is not an exhaustive - there might be practical matters that apply to you which you yourself must be aware of.

The National Register

If you de-registered from the National Register (Folkeregisteret), remember to register when you return to Denmark.

 

The Danish immigration authorities

If you are a non-Danish citizen, please check with the Danish immigration authorities if you need to register/apply again, to ensure that your residence permit is all valid.

 

Submit your transcript via SPOC

Once you receive your transcript from your host university, remember to send it in via SPOC > International Office > Submission of transcript from host university

When you submit your transcript via the form, it will be received by the International Office as well as Registration and Educational Law, who handles the credit transfer (meritoverførsel) to your SDU degree, which is based on your pre-approval (forhåndsgodkendelse).

The official transcript should contain:

  • Your personal data
  • Titles of the courses you have followed (including English title)
  • The grades you have achieved (preferably failed results as well)
  • A description of the local grading scale

 
If the grading scale is not included in the transcript, you need to provide the information separately.

Additionally, the transcript must be either:

  • Verifiable by date and a formal signature (signatures can be either by hand or digital), or
  • Digitally verifiable, e.g. via verification link or via the host university’s website

 
Got questions about the credit transfer process or the requirements for the transcript? Then contact Registration and Educational Law via SPOC > Registration and Educational Law > Final credit transfer

 

Submit the documents required by the International Office

Depending on your destination and your grant, you will need to submit documents by the end of your stay. Please refer to the email about the grant for what you need to send in.

If you receive the Erasmus+ grant, this is also when we will calculate the final part of your grant. Please read the email about the grant carefully and save it for later reference.

 

Check your SU

If you receive SU, please check  if there is anything you need to do in connection with returning home. You can find more information on your study programme's website about SU. If you have any questions, please contact the SU office at SDU.
