FAQ’s and more detailed information
What is the enrolment deadline?
Please note that your enrolment has to take place before the enrolment deadline. This deadline is shown on your certificate of admission.
Your enrolment application together with all the documentation specified in your certificate of admission must arrive at the University and all the necessary fees must be paid into the bank account of the Landesoberkasse by this date.
If you are unable to provide all the necessary documentation by the deadline, please get in contact with the Student Services and Degree Programme Management Department (Studierendensekretariat).
The enrolment deadline automatically excludes students who do not meet it. This means that if you miss the deadline, you cannot enrol and your student place will be given to another person.
Compulsory Fees
The administration fees and all Student Union contributions must be paid by the enrolment/re-enrolment deadline.
You can see what the fees for your degree course are on your certificate of admission.
Please pay on time
Please make sure that you fill in the purpose (Verwendungszweck) completely and correctly. Otherwise, your payment to the University’s bank account (at the Landesoberkasse) cannot be followed back to you (the Landesoberkasse deals with payments to all the universities in Baden-Wuerttemberg!) We need your application number to trace the payment back to you. You can find this number on your certificate of admission.
You can only enrol if your payment is already in the bank account of the Landesoberkasse by the deadline. So, make sure you deal with this in good time.
Evidence of a pre-degree practical placement/internship
With the exception of the engineering education degree programmes, the pre-study internships are suspended for the winter semester due to the Corona Statutes.
Degree Course | Deadline |
---|---|
| The pre-degree practical placement/internship (8 weeks) has to be completed and certified by the beginning of the 3rd semester. |
| The pre-degree practical placement/internship (12 weeks) has to be completed and certified by the beginning of the 3rd semester. |
| The pre-degree practical placement/internship (12 weeks) has to be completed and certified by the beginning of the 4th semester. |
| The pre-degree practical placement/internship (12 weeks) has to be completed and certified by the beginning of the 6th semester. |
You can find more details in the Regulations for pre-degree practical placements/internships.
WHO CAN BE EXEMPTED FROM PAYMENT OF STUDENT UNION CONTRIBUTIONS?
Students with severe disabilities can be partially exempted from payment of Student Union contributions.
If you are entitled to use public transport free of charge due to a severe disability, you can apply to have the cost of the StudiTicket refunded. When you enrol/re-enrol, please pay the complete Student Union contributions and then write to the Stuttgart Student Union at Studierendenwerk Stuttgart, Rosenbergstr. 18, 70174 Stuttgart with a copy of your severe disability pass to request a refund (no form necessary).
ARE YOU ALREADY ENROLLED AT ANOTHER UNIVERSITY?
If you have accepted a student place at another university, you have to withdraw from it, i.e. de-enrol as you cannot be enrolled at two universities at the same time.
