Semester fees (Re-registration) | General information
Every semester, students who wish to continue their studies must pay the semester fee and thus re-register.
The amount of the semester fee is determined prior to the beginning of the respective re-registration and posted online.
Contact the Registrar's Office for more information.
Students who do not re-register or do not re-register on time will be withdrawn from their studies.
We recommend that students do not wait until the last day to re-register but rather to register as early as possible. As well, we suggest that students re-register during the opening hours of the Registrar’s Office in case they have any questions.

FAQs on re-registration
I am handing in my Bachelor thesis this semester, can / do I have to re-register for the next semester?
You have to re-register
- If the Bachelor's thesis is not your last examination, but there are still other examinations pending that you will not take until the following semester.
You can re-register
- If the Bachelor's thesis is your last examination and you have not yet received your transcript in this semester. To re-register, you transfer your semester fee as usual and validate your TUNIKA.
- You do not have to re-register, however, as you have completed all your examinations and do not have to be enrolled while you wait for your degree certificate. In the event you fail an examination, in most cases you can be re-enrolled to repeat the examination.
Ex. 1: You hand in your Bachelor's thesis as your last examination on 10.03. The winter semester ends on 31.03. The winter semester ends on 31.03. The re-registration deadline for the summer semester ends on 15.03. You can re-register for the following summer semester because you have not yet received your BA certificate.
You cannot re-register
- If you have completed all the examinations for your Bachelor's degree and have received your Bachelor's degree certificate. You will be de-registered at the end of the semester or you can choose to withdraw from the university at an earlier point in time.
Ex. 2: You hand in your Bachelor's thesis as your last examination at the beginning of the winter semester. Your professor grades the thesis and sends the grades to the Examination Office, which issues your degree certificate at the beginning of January. You can no longer re-register for the following summer semester for the Bachelor's degree; you will be blocked as you have your (completed) Bachelor's degree. Only if you are planning to pursue a Master's degree, for example, can you re-register or re-enrol for this.
Tips:
- You remain enrolled until the end of the semester in which your Bachelor's degree certificate is issued (and you collect it). Ultimately, it depends on when you hand in your Bachelor's thesis, when it is graded and which examinations are still open in addition to the Bachelor's thesis, whether you can re-register for the following semester. This means that you have a certain amount of control over when you (have to) give up your student status.
