Deadlines

Ideally, you should submit your application to be exempted from student fees when you accept your student place, that is, until 15.06./30.11.; then you will not have to pay student fees when you register. 

Students who are registering for the first time should apply for exemption at the same time as they apply for registration. Then they will not have to pay student fees when they register.
 

Exemptions from Student Union membership fees

According to the Student Union Regulations on Membership Fees, leave of absence does not constitute grounds for exemption from Student Union membership fees.

Studentenwerk Stuttgart
