18.07 How do I notify an essential change and what documents do I need to submit?

From April 2024, essential changes to the subject of accreditation will be notified via ELIAS. An application type “Notification of (essential) change” has been set up in ELIAS for this purpose.

After logging into ELIAS, please click on the “Create new application” tile on your ELIAS home page. A selection of available application types will open. Please select the application type “07. Notification (essential) change” to display an essential change according to § 28 MRVO.

In your notification of change, you must provide evidence-based proof that the criteria of the model law or the relevant state ordinance are also met under the changed conditions. You should outline and justify your change in a short letter. In your application, please always upload amended study program documents and other evidence as PDF files (or as a ZIP file) and clearly mark the passages that have been changed.

A detailed description of the application process can be found in FAQ “ELIAS 13”.

Note on the change: This question was FAQ 18.04 until July 2023; only the “Status” has been updated.
