you can update your Leistungsheft online anytime
you can use the service of an automatically printout of Attendance Forms and Research Report Forms (Attendance Forms just have to be signed if no other certificates or confirmation exists)
all credit points will be evaluated automatically
you can print the Leistungsheft as PDF file anytime
Research Report forms and the protocols of the Research Reports (please upload the protocols directly to your digital Leistungsheft)
Course Attendance forms
Certificates of conference participations/ meetings
all other kind of CP related documentation
Please have in mind that from the 1st of December 2013 every PhD student must update her/ his digital Leistungsheft regularly. If you were using the paper version of course all signatures and signed attendance forms will be accepted when submitting.

The CP-value is equivalent to the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS). 1 ECTS corresponds to 25 to 30 hours of work (0.3 CP corresponds to one day of work).
The number of CPs is defined by doctoral regulations. Therefore, it is obligatory to collect all CPs listed below.
An asterisk (*) marks the minimal number of required CPs within each module. Each module requires a minimum of CPs, totaling at least 180 CPs. All credit points must be collected in the RIGeL Leistungsheft and signed by the PhD supervisor.
