As you know, you have to submit the transcript of records (§ 48 BAföG) in the 5th semester so that you can continue to receive BAföG. For all those who are currently in their 4th semester, there is the option of submitting the transcript of records now. This must contain the usual achievements over 3 semesters and must be submitted by the fourth month of your 4th semester at the latest. This has the advantage of speeding up the processing of the application for continued funding and thus avoiding an interruption in payment if necessary. It also eliminates the need to submit the transcript of records after the 4th semester.
Please be sure to read our information sheet on this topic and get in touch with the Student Financing Advisory Centre-BeSt or your contact person at the BAföG office if you have any questions.
Don't forget: Please submit the BAföG continuation grant application soon if you want to continue receiving BAföG in the winter semester.
