Erasmus Transcript of Records
What is the Transcript of Records?
The Transcript of Records officially informs your home university of all the examinations you have taken and the ECTS credits you have earned during your stay abroad. You will receive the Transcript of Records at the end of the semester after you successfully passed your exams, handed in all certificates you obtained and completed the relevant documents.
If you need the original transcript of records, please also provide us with your postal address.
From the summer semester 2026 onwards
Paper certificates ("Scheine") will no longer be issued as a general rule. Instead, your marks will be recorded exclusively online in heiCO.
You can check the status of your recorded grades yourself in heiCO: please look under the heading “Overview of Grades” below.
If your marks have not been recorded, please contact the chairs secretary or lecturers directly. You can find the contact details on the website of the Faculty of Law under „Professuren und Lehrende“ or in heiCO.
Once all your marks have been recorded, please send an email to erasmus@ipr.uni-heidelberg.de requesting your transcript of records.
You will then get your signed transcript of records as a PDF by email.
During the lecture-free period in spring and autumn, there may be time delays in processing.

During the lecture-free period in spring and autumn, there may be time delays in processing. In case you need your Transcript of Records immediately but do not have all certificates yet, the ERASMUS-coordinator can issue a provisional Transcript of Records at the end of the lecture period. It will contain the note "noch ohne Vorlage des Leistungsnachweises/without examination certificate yet" for the subject in question.
