BAföG form 5

Federal Education and Training Assistance Act

Certificate of Achievement - Form 5 (Teaching and Education)

If you are enrolled in a teacher training or education degree program at the University of Passau, you can obtain a BAföG certificate of achievement (Form 5) from the Teacher Training Program Coordination Office at the ZLF. You will receive a positive Form 5 if you can prove that you have sufficient ECTS credit points for the standard period of study; after the 4th semester, this should be at least 100 ECTS credit points. 

During the semester break, the study program coordination office is not staffed at all times. If you require a signature at this time, please contact us in advance by e-mail (stuko.lehramt@uni-passau.de).

Make sure that your ECTS credits for the teaching degree Realschule and Lehramt Gymnasium are completed in both subjects and, if possible, are distributed more or less equally across all subject areas. If you are receiving BAföG, it is NOT possible for you to study one subject first and then the second subject later, as otherwise Form 5 cannot be issued for the second subject and you can no longer receive BAföG.

Submitting the application - what you need to submit and where

For the application we need from you:

  • Form 5 completed in the upper section (one Form 5 for each subject)
  • Your current grade transcript 
  • A certificate of study progress (can be found in the CampusPortal under Student Services -> Notifications -> General Notifications)
  • A scan of the first page of the notification from the BAföG office, which tells you how many semesters you have to submit Form 5 for
  • If applicable, a list of achievements not yet recorded from the previous and current semester

Please send these complete documents all together in one email to stuko.lehramt@uni-passau.de.

Form 5 - Instructions for completion
