Students who wish to continue their studies in the following semester, must re-register by paying the semester fee for the coming semester. Students must re-register each semester. The semester fee can differ from the previous semester, so please ensure that you check the website for the actual amount for the coming semester at the start of the re-registration phase.
Students who do not re-register within the deadline will be de-registered automatically after the deadline. Therefore make sure to re-register on time and do not delay until the last possible day!
Please note the information below. If you have further questions, please contact the Admissions Office.
Re-registration | deadlines
Winter Semester: 15 June until 15 September
Summer Semester: 15 January until 15 March
Payment at the TUKAN machine
If you have an EC card (with a PIN!) you can pay the Semesterfee at the TUKAN-machine.
Note:
- Do not load the amount on the student ID card (TUNIKA )!
- Immediately after payment of the semester fee at the Tukan you may validate your student ID card (print the new semester dates) at the validation machine (not at the Tukan!)
Payment via bank transfer
In any case the payment can be executed via bank transfer:
- Recipient: Landeshochschulkasse Mainz
- Address: Universität Trier, Universitätsring 15, 54296 Trier
- IBAN (account): DE 22 5451 0067 0228 1556 76
- BIC /Swift: PBNKDEFFXXX
- Reference: your Student ID number, last name and first name. Without this information the matching of the payment to your student account is not possible!
- In order to re-register within the deadline, the amount has to be credited onto the account of Trier University by the last day. Initiate the transfer several days before the deadline, as online banking may take several days to actually credit the amount into our account. Also take into consideration possible bank charges. Only after the university has received the transfer amount, can you validate your student ID card in the validation machine (not the TUKAN!).

I am handing in my thesis / sitting for my last exam in this semester. Do I need to / can I re-register for the next semester?
You may re-register,
- if you handed in your thesis / sat for the last exam but the grades have not yet been entered in PORTA. In this case transfer the semester fee as you always did and validate your student ID card.
- but you do not have to re-register! If you are only waiting for your grades, you may de-register after you handed in your thesis / sat for your last exam. Please leave your contact information with the examination office so they can contact you for your grades. If you really failed the last exam / paper, you will in most cases still be able to re-enrol.
You may not re-register,
- if your final grades have already been entered in PORTA. In this case you will automatically be de-registered at the end of the semester or you may hand in the request for Withdrawal from your studies if you wish to withdraw to an earlier date.
