The study credit is regulated by § 12 of the Lower Saxony Higher Education Act (NHG).
According to this, every student has a study credit for the Bachelor's degree course, which is calculated from the number of semesters of the standard period of study for the Bachelor's degree course plus six additional semesters.
For a consecutive Master's degree course, the study credit is increased by the number of semesters of the standard period of study for this degree course.
As long as the study credit has not been used up, no long-term tuition fees are payable.
§ Section 12 (3) NHG regulates the semesters in which the study credit is not used up.
When calculating the study credit, all university semesters spent in Germany must be taken into account, regardless of whether or not the respective degree course was completed.
If you were enrolled abroad or at a private university in Germany before enrolling at Clausthal University of Technology, the previous semesters are not taken into account. For the Master's degree course, the study credit is then calculated from twice the standard period of study for the Master's degree course.

In order to be exempted from the long-term tuition fees, please submit the application for the consideration of periods in the calculation of contribution obligations including the necessary proof during the re-registration period. Please refer to the application itself to find out which reasons could justify an exemption from long-term tuition fees and which evidence is required.

Students who are enrolled at Clausthal University of Technology with a scholarship or as part of a cooperation program can apply for an exemption from the administrative fee. Please submit the corresponding application including the relevant proof or the signature of the cooperation officer. Please note that the exemption must be applied for again each semester (during the re-registration period).
