The summer semester lecture period ends on July 17, 2026. As you will also be spending the winter semester 2026/27 at Trier University, we send you important information about the next steps:

To ensure that you can complete all the necessary steps in good time, here is the most important information on:

• Transcripts of Records Application for transcripts
• Registration for exams
• Moving out of your dorm room (if your contract ends in February)
• Reenrolment for winter semester incl. payment of the social fee - do not miss the deadline, 15th September
• Course registration for winter semester

Please note:
Please read the provided files carefully and complete all necessary steps. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Please remember to contact the lectures about dates and modalities for your final exams, if you have not done so yet. Please be advised that exchange students cannot sign up for exams in Porta (exception: double degree students!) but have to discuss this with lectures/by email. Please also mention that you are an exchange student and your student ID (Matrikelnummer) when doing so. 

Re-registration for the winter semester 2026/27 and validation of your student ID card (TUNIKA)

To continue to be enrolled at Trier University in the winter semester, you must (!) complete the so-called re-registration. Re-registration can be completed from 15 June at the earliest and must be completed by 15 September 2026 at the latest!!!

To re-register, you need to pay the semester fee of 371,80€. This is how you can make the payment:

1. by EC or credit card at the TUKAN cash machines in the A, C and V buildings and on Campus II (recommend, re-enrollment is completed directly after payment)
2. by bank transfer (see further information and account details for the bank transfer here) - re-enrollment takes approximately a week, the confirmation will be visible in Porta. When paying by bank transfer, please make sure the payment has arrived on 15 September at the latest.

As soon as you have paid the semester fee and thus re-registered, you need to print (=‘validate’) the new end date of your stay on your TUNIKA. You can do so at the validation machines (grey box next to the TUKAN ticket machines in the A, C and V buildings and on Campus II) by inserting your TUNIKA. A new validity period will then be printed on your card.

Please read the information in the document Transcript of Records – Information carefully.

To obtain a Transcript of Records, you must actively (!) submit an application – please use the Application Form provided for this purpose.

You must complete one form for each department in which you have taken courses and send it to the department(s). The form has drop-down fields. Therefore, please use PDF software that supports form editing to fill it out. We recommend programs such as Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (available free of charge) or Microsoft Edge. Since you stay for 2 semesters, please select in the relevant drop down menu of the form whether you would like to receive a transcript for each semester or one transcript at the end of your stay. In case you apply for one transcript at the end of your stay, you may ask lecturers to send you your grade/results for summer semester by email (for your information).
