By re-registering, you inform the University that you wish to continue your studies in the following semester. To re-register, all you have to do is pay the semester fee within the prescribed four-week re-registration period regardless of whether you plan to change degree programmes, apply for admission to a new programme or request a leave of absence. Around three weeks before classes of the particular semester end, you will receive an invitation to re-register for the next semester through an email into your uni account. At the same time, you will have access to the information on your re-registration via the SelfService.

To the semester dates

You may choose one of two methods to pay the semester fee: the SEPA direct debit scheme or electronic transfer.

• SEPA direct debit scheme

  You can simplify the process of re-registering by having the payment of the semester fee automatically debited from your bank account via the SEPA direct debit scheme. To do this, log on to the SelfService. Click on "Requests", "Create Request" and "Management > SEPA dircet debit authorization". When you save the data, you automatically grant the University of Münster permission to directly debit your account. It is not necessary to send a written request form.

  The semester fee is then debited from your account every semester thereafter. We send an email to your university email account two weeks in advance, detailing the amount and date of the debit. You may rescind your mandate at any time, and upon de-registration (exmatriculation), the mandate is automatically terminated.

• FAQs

  Do I have to re-register if I complete my studies this semester?

  It is advisable to contact your examination office to ascertain the period of time required to maintain your student status.

  Should a student have completed all their coursework by the end of a semester (30 September for a summer semester or 31 March for a winter semester) and have re-registered as a precautionary measure, they may apply for a refund of the full semester fee by 15 November for a winter semester or 15 May for a summer semester in the event of retroactive de-registration.

  It should be noted, however, that a student's status will be revoked retroactively in the event of a retroactive de-registration. According to the enrolment regulations, you may remain enrolled until the end of the semester in which you received your final documents.

  Do I have to exmatriculate if I want to continue my studies in another degree programme?

  As a rule,  it is not necessary to deregister and then re-register for a different degree programme. After re-registration you can apply for a change of degree programme.

  What happens if I miss the re-registration deadline?

  The regular re-registration deadline for the following semester is always in the last three weeks of lectures of the current semester. After this deadline, a late payment surcharge of 1.50 euros is automatically added to the semester fee.

  If the fee account is not balanced on 31 March for a summer semester or 30 September for a winter semester, exmatriculation is automatically initiated.

  Re-registration after automatic de-registration is only possible if you can prove special reasons why you failed to re-register.
