Official notice of refusal ("Zurückweisungsbescheid")

After you have submitted an application for admission to a degree programme, an official notice is issued if certain prerequisites are met (e.g. issuing country of the documents, type of degree programme, etc.). An official notice of refusal (‘Zurückweisungsbescheid’) is issued if an application is assessed negatively due to formal deficiencies (e.g. a document is missing, diplomatic legalisation is missing on a document, etc.).

Persons with citizenship and  secondary-school leaving certificate from EU/EEA/CH, who submit an application for a bachelor, diploma or a consecutive master programme, do not receive any official notice.
