Refunds
If you deregister during the semester or have paid too much, you may be eligible for a refund. You can apply for this via the moin portal.
The following contributions are refundable:
► Student services contribution (€85.00, €130.00 from winter semester 25/26):
This contribution is generally waived for leaves of absence taken for the special reasons of “parental leave” and “illness.”
In the event of de-registration in the first half of the semester (until December 31/June 30), the student services contribution will be refunded in full.
► Germany semester ticket (€176.40, from winter semester 25/26 €208.80):
You have the option of waiving the semester ticket if you take a leave of absence.
In the event of de-registration or withdrawal of enrollment or re-registration, the semester ticket can only be refunded at the Student Secretariat if lectures have not yet begun. If the lecture period has already begun, you can have the semester ticket refunded (pro rata for the remaining months until the end of the semester) at the AStA.
