uni-assist.com and uni-assist.de are separate services. Use My assist at uni-assist.de when your university requires an official uni-assist evaluation: that's where certificates are checked and forwarded. Use uni-assist.com, operated by Rheinland-Privatschule, when you want an advisor to confirm your route, check your documents and manage the timing before formal submission. uni-assist.com does not replace My assist and does not decide on admission. The university always makes that decision.
Anyone who has seen both names and isn't sure which site to use, or what uni-assist.com actually adds.
Formal evaluation
If your programme requires uni-assist, that evaluation still happens through My assist at uni-assist.de.
Independent preparation
An advisor checks your route, documents and timing before the evaluation stage, so avoidable issues can be corrected before formal submission.
One clear next step
You see which portal to use, what's still missing, and what has to happen before your deadline.
Which situation is yours?
Start here if you already know roughly where your application stands.
| Your situation | What to do |
|---|---|
| Your university says "apply via uni-assist" | Use My assist for the formal evaluation |
| Your university asks for a VPD | Request the VPD via My assist, then apply to the university yourself |
| You're not sure which route applies to you | Use the pathway check, or ask an advisor, before paying anything |
| You want your documents reviewed before anything is sent | Use uni-assist.com for independent preparation |

If your programme requires uni-assist, My assist handles the formal process. uni-assist.com is useful when you want independent help confirming the route, documents and timing before submission. [3]
The two exist for different parts of the same application: one runs the required evaluation, the other prepares you for it.
Check your course's own application page for whether it names uni-assist, then start the route check below if you want a second, independent look before you submit.
Why applicants confuse the two
The names are similar, and both show up somewhere in a German university application, so mixing them up is an easy mistake. They are not the same organization: uni-assist e.V. runs My assist and the formal evaluation.
uni-assist.com is an independent application support service operated by Rheinland-Privatschule in Essen. Legal company details are available in our imprint. [1][4]
What uni-assist.com helps you with
An advisor helps you confirm whether your programme needs My assist, a VPD or a direct application, reviews your document checklist for gaps or formatting issues, and plans your timing against your university's own deadline rather than a general estimate.
You track all of it, and your advisor's replies, in one portal. We prepare and support the process; the formal evaluation and the admission decision stay with uni-assist e.V. and the university. [1]
What the required process actually checks
uni-assist e.V. checks your certificates against the general criteria for German university study, converts your grades into the German system, and forwards the result to your university. It does not admit you: the university decides, and a completed evaluation only means your file was checked and passed on. [1]
Not sure which application route applies to you?
Answer five questions about your qualification, target course and timeline, and see the likely route and what still needs checking.
- Five questions, about two minutes
- No account and no payment
- Ends with your route, not a general rule
- An advisor follows up if your case isn't clear-cut
