Payment information

Click on the image to enlarge it.

Generally, payment is due 14 days after you receive the document “Further Information on Enrollment.” We do not send out a payment confirmation for the semester fee. You can check the Campus Portal to see if the payment has been credited to your account, so there is no need to send us proof of payment .

What happens after I apply for enrollment?

Your application for enrollment is still being reviewed. This process may take several weeks. We therefore recommend that you apply for enrollment well in advance.

Once your proof of health insurance, the semester contribution, and all required documents have been submitted, you will be fully enrolled and will receive further information regarding your enrollment. If your proof of health insurance or the semester contribution is missing, you will initially be enrolled on a provisional basis. As soon as both are submitted, you will then be automatically enrolled.

You can then download your certificate of enrollment in both German and English on your own via the Campus Portal.

The International Student Advisors serve as points of contact for international students in each department. This is the contact person you can list on your visa application.
