At the end of your studies

Cancellation of enrollment

If you have enrolled and then do not want to or cannot start your studies, you can submit an application to cancel your enrolment within two months of the start of the semester. Please enclose the certificate of enrollment and the TUCard if these have already been issued. The semester fee already paid will be automatically refunded to the original account.

Cancellation of enrolment means that enrolment has practically not taken place. Your data will be completely deleted and existing documents destroyed.

 

Date of de-registration

If you do not have to wait, for example, for a degree to be booked or for another university to accept you, please apply for de-registration online in the new study portal as soon as possible. Exmatriculation at a later date, e.g. at the end of the semester, is generally possible, but retroactive exmatriculation is not.

If your application for de-registration is received here within one month of the start of lectures, the semester fee already paid can still be refunded. Refunds are usually made within two weeks to the account from which the semester fee was originally paid.

If you have completed all your coursework by the end of the examination period (31.03. or 30.09.) and are absolutely certain that you have passed, you do not need to re-register for the next semester. This also applies if your degree has not yet been recorded in the system; the date on which the last work was completed is decisive.

If you are not absolutely sure about your degree, please re-register and de-register within one month of the start of lectures.

 

De-registration procedure

Please apply for de-registration online in the new study portal. If you have already re-registered for the new semester, it is important that you destroy the TUCard and the certificate of enrolment."

 

Certificate of de-registration

As soon as the de-registration has been implemented in the system, you can download the de-registration certificate from the study portal. Please save the certificate of de-registration as a PDF file, as your access to the study portal will expire after about three months.

It is best to print out a few more copies, as your access to the study portal will expire after about six months.

 

Pension certificate; missing degree

As the automatically generated pension certificate accesses the data in the system, the degree can only be shown if it is actually entered in the system.

You are welcome to contact us as soon as the degree has been entered in the system - we will then be happy to send you an updated pension certificate showing the degree.
