FAQs on vhb-courses

1. Initial registration for vhb via www.vhb.org or re-registration for the current semester (if initial registration was already completed last semester). When registering for vhb for the first time, please be sure to use your Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences email address, e.g., studentname@stud.fh-rosenheim.de, as otherwise you may encounter problems with authentication in the Learning Campus.

2. Register for the respective course via the www.vhb.org platform (select the course, e.g., “Design Thinking,” open the course, and click on the “Register for course” button).

You can de-register from a course in the course room. Please log in to the course at www.vhb.org. A menu labeled “My Courses [Meine Kurse]” should appear on the left-hand side. Click on the course, and a menu will appear below it, where you will find the option to de-register from the course. If the deadline has passed, there is no disadvantage to remaining registered for the course. You can still register for this course again in the next semester.

As with registration, authentication (proof of authorization to use the system) is required for re-registration. If you have not yet authenticated yourself, you will receive a corresponding message each time you log in and the system will guide you through the authentication process.

All vhb member universities have an interface for purely electronic authentication, so that authentication can always be carried out electronically using the students' central university ID (Shibboleth authentication).

You can choose any subject from the catalog at www.vhb.org. If you would like to have the ECTS credits recognized, please have the vhb course approved by your faculty's examination board. The form for this can be found here. Once approved by the examination board, please submit this form to the examination office as an examination registration (please note the deadlines!).

Exam registration takes place via the LC course room „vhb Prüfungsanmeldung TH Rosenheim“ or via this form, which can be uploaded to the above-mentioned course room during the exam registration period. Digital signatures are possible. For compulsory modules, exam registration is done via the OSC.

In addition, you must also register for the exam in the respective course room – if “Rosenheim” is available as an option here (as is the case for all exams of TH Deggendorf, as well as a few other courses). Please select “Rosenheim” as the exam location here. This is the only way to ensure that you have an exam place in Rosenheim. You can find different forms of exam registration in the vhb catalog (see above).

For exam registrations up to 3 weeks after the end of the exam registration period, an informal written request must be submitted to the Examination Office along with this form, explaining why the registration deadline was missed. If you submit a late registration to the Examination Office more than 3 weeks after the end of the exam registration period, admission may no longer be possible. If registration is still possible at that point of time, you might have to travel to the university offering the vhb course to take the written exam. You can find all the information you need about exam registration in the vhb catalog, which is available for download above.

If a student registers for a written exam and does not take it, their non-attendance constitutes a valid withdrawal (the exam is not counted as an attempt).

Exception I: Exams that must be taken due to failure or exceeding the deadline will be graded 5.0 if the student does not take them.

Exception II: Exam theses are considered to have been taken as soon as the assignment has been issued. Withdrawal is only possible with a written request and only for reasons beyond the student's control (e.g., illness).

For students from other universities, the withdrawal regulations of their respective universities apply. Please check with your university for more information.

In general, you can retake the course via vhb if it is offered again in the following semester.

If you have received a certificate/confirmation of participation with a grade and original signature from the university conducting the examination, you can have the grade entered directly at the Examination Office. If the university conducting the examination sends the grades to TH Rosenheim via a grade list, the grades will be automatically entered into the Online Service Center.

Grades can be reported to TH Rosenheim by the universities offering the courses until the end of the semester in which they were taken (dates: winter semester: March 14 / summer semester: September 30).

The following applies to Rosenheim vhb courses:

Grundlagen der Betriebswirtschaft für Ingenieure: To receive a certificate of participation, you must register in the course room, upload your solutions to the mock exam and attend the self-assessment tests. In this case, it is not necessary to take the exam. Certificates of participation will be sent to the postal address stored at www.vhb.org.

Einführung in das Marketing Management: No certificates of participation will be issued.

Grundlagen des Krankenhausmanagements: Timely completion and submission of the assignment for Chapter 2, timely completion and submission of the assignment for Chapter 4, and timely completion and submission of the mock exam. Certificates of participation will be sent to the postal address provided at www.vhb.org.

IT-gestützte Erstellung des Jahresabschlusses: No certificates of participation will be issued.

Ressourcenorientierung in der Sozialen Arbeit: Certificates of participation will be issued and sent by email.

For all other courses, you will find this information in the course description.

After passing the exam, all successful participants in the Rosenheim vhb courses will receive a certificate via email. The certificate contains your grade, ECTS, SWS, and a verification code that can be used to check the authenticity of the certificate. You can find out how to obtain your certificate for vhb courses from other partner universities in the course description at www.vhb.org. 

Exam papers can only be viewed with the professor who set the exam. Please contact the respective professor at the university offering the course.

If you would like to take an exam from another university in Rosenheim, please contact the responsible professor in the course room with this question. If you receive approval and know the date and time of the exam, please contact your faculty to find an exam supervisor and person to administer the exam. This should be done before the TH Rosenheim exam registration period. Petra Sagert can assist you with this. If the exam can take place on the exam day announced by TH Rosenheim, Ms. Sagert can administer the exam (please report). If at least 10 students from TH Rosenheim want to take an exam in Rosenheim on a date other than the vhb exam date announced by TH Rosenheim, this may be possible under certain circumstances. Please contact Ms. Sagert at vhb@th-rosenheim.de before the TH Rosenheim exam registration period.

According to §7 Abs. 2 (2) of the General Examination Regulations, this is not possible. Once you have taken an exam for a specific module at TH Rosenheim, you can no longer receive credit for that module.

For all questions regarding the application process, please visit the course room "vhb-Förderprogramme - Infokurs für Lehrende" on the Learning Campus - feel free to take a look!
