Applicants and students of Trier University
All Trier University students are required to pay a fee each semester. This semester fee is not a Tuition fee, but rather supports other elements of student life. The semester fee contributes to the following:
- that the TUniKa (the student ID card) can be used by all students in public transport as a bus / train ticket (semester ticket)
- that the canteen food is subsidized for students and therefore remains cheaper
- that their Student Representative Office (AStA) has the financial means to represent their interests and provide corresponding support services.
The first semester for new students, the semester fee is considered the enrolment fee (Erst-/Neueinschreibung). A semester fee (Rückmeldung – re-registration) is required for each subsequent semester.
The semester fee is comprised of administration fees and student body fees, and is paid by all Trier University students. The amount of the semester fee differs based on which semester is being paid for or the type of semester fee:
- Enrolment Fee (first semester) | Trier University
- Semester Fee (subsequent semesters – re-registration) | Trier University
- Südwestverbund (enrolment & subsequent semesters)
