Apply for Enrollment
You have received a letter of access/admission. Here you will find information on how to apply for enrollment.
How Do You Apply for Enrollment?
Step 1
First, log in to the Campus Portal. On the overview page of your applications, click View or add applications.
Step 2
On the overview of your applications, click Apply for enrollment. The enrollment deadline is listed in the yellow box.
Step 3
Please fill out all the required information for online registration, especially the details regarding your previous studies (if applicable) and your insurance status. Please note that even if you are exempt from the mandatory health insurance requirement, you must still contact a statutory health insurance provider. The statutory health insurance provider will send us proof of your exemption.
Step 4
Please upload all required documents by either selecting the file or dragging it into the field. Please save the uploaded documents by clicking the green Save changes temporarily button.
Step 5
Click the orange button Finish and charge fees. You will then see the payment reference (purpose) and the semester contribution due.
What Happens After I Apply for Enrollment?
Your application for enrollment is currently being reviewed. Please note that this process may take several weeks. Enrollment applications should therefore be submitted well in advance.
Once your proof of health insurance, payment of the semester contribution, and all other required documents have been submitted, your enrollment will be completed. You will then receive further information regarding your enrollment. If your proof of health insurance or payment of the semester contribution is still missing, you will initially be enrolled on a provisional basis. Once both requirements have been fulfilled, your enrollment will automatically be finalized.
Your certificate of enrollment is available in both German and English.
