With the identification letter you will receive your HIZ-ID, your master password and your student e-mail address and thus the login information to the university systems. 

You can download the identification letter after enrolling in the SIM application portal. To do so, log in with the data of your application account (user name B0012345 and personal application password) and select the relevant application tile. The identification letter is located in the "Documents" section.

Please save your identification letter, as you may need it again in the further course of your studies.

First, check that you are searching for the identification letter in the right place and on the right portal. You must log in to the SIM application portal with your application account data (user name B0012345 and personal application password).

If indeed nothing is deposited, there are several possibilities:

• It may still be too early: The identification letter is usually only available 24 hours after enrolment.
• If you have studied at HBKsaar before and were exmatriculated, no new identification letter will be generated. You can use the access data from your previous study periods. If you no longer have them, please contact us via studierendenverwaltung@hbksaar.org.
• In rare cases, it may be a technical problem. If none of the preceding solutions fits your case, please contact us via studierendenverwaltung@hbksaar.org.

It may take up to 48 hours after the enrolment until you can change the master password. Please try again later. If you still receive an error message after 48 hours, please contact us via studierendenverwaltung@hbksaar.org.

I am asked to upload my high school diploma. Do I have to upload the pages individually? 
No. Please scan all pages of your university entrance qualification (e.g. your high school diploma) and merge them into one PDF file and upload it. Only if this is not possible for you, the option is available to upload the individual pages 1 to 4 each separately in the upload box provided.

My high school diploma consists of more than four pages.
You do not need to upload your university entrance qualification as single pages. You can combine the single scans in one document and upload that. If your installed PDF viewer does not provide this possibility, you’ll find several free tools to do so in the internet.

Why is the passport photo needed and what format should it be in?
The passport photo will be printed on your student card, HBKsaar`s multifunction card. The photo must therefore have passport photo format and be uploaded in JPG format with the minimum resolution 248 x 330 pixels.

A proof of payment (usually the semester fee) is required. What do I have to do here?
Please transfer the correct amount to the bank account of HBKsaar.
Important: Please enter your matriculation number (only if you are or were already enrolled at HBKsaar) or the user name of your application account in the field "reason for payment". This is the user name you received when registering in the SIM application portal and starts with "B" followed by a 7-digit number series, e. g. B0012345. Enter this on the first line on the far left, leaving a blank space, and then complete your first and last name(s) and date of birth. Please upload the proof in the required place in the SIM portal.

I am enrolling in a master's program, do I really need to upload my high school diploma?
Yes, it is a mandatory field, please upload the document.

I am enrolling in a master's degree program. The enrolment requires a preliminary review documentation, where do I get it? 
Master students do not need to upload the preliminary review documentation. Please upload your high school leaving certificate (e.g.: Abitur, Baccalaureat etc.) instead.

I come from Switzerland/Austria/Liechtenstein/Luxemburg. Do I really have to upload a language certificate?
If you took German classes in senior high school, you do not need to request an official language certificate. It is completely sufficient, if you upload the relevant page(s) of your high school diploma.

I come from China. Why do I have to upload an additional language certificate?
Chinese applicants are requested to have their academic transcripts approved by the academic examinations office of the cultural affairs department at the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Peking (APS).
