Start with the exact checklist
Open the programme's official application instructions before preparing files. For uni-assist applications, also check its general checklist, country notes and any guidance for international qualifications such as the IB Diploma. A passport country alone may not identify the rules for your educational records.
- Record the programme, entry level, qualification system, portal and submission deadline in one checklist.
- Use the existing entry-pathways and APS/VPD guides to establish your route before ordering extra documents.

Include the complete academic record
For uni-assist, submit every required page of certificates and grade records. School-entry and master's applications can need different histories. Master's applicants should check whether the university's official degree grading scale is required, as well as transcripts and degree certificates.
- Include earlier study or entrance-exam evidence when requested.
- Obtain a grading explanation from the awarding university rather than an unofficial comparison site.

Check translations and copy requirements separately
Keep original-language documents with the required German or English translations. uni-assist accepts translations from appropriately authorised translators or an authorised issuing-institution department. Check country exceptions if certificates were also issued in English or German.
- An ordinary agency translation is not automatically acceptable.
- Check separately whether the receiving university requests certified copies; translation and copy certification are different requirements.

Prepare the course-specific items
A CV, motivation letter, portfolio, references or work-experience evidence may be requested. Follow the course's own instructions and explain documented name changes where records do not match.
- Name files clearly and check that every page is legible.
- For My assist, upload shared documents once, then complete each selected course's questions and submission steps.
- Review the submitted record and payment status; keep the confirmation.
