Re-registration

(Rückmeldung)

 

Content

You need to re-register every semester by paying the immatriculation fee (about 250 €) to the university. You will find information about payment procedures in your student papers from the current semester.

The student card will be sent by mail to your address. Please check that the Studienbüro always has your current address (send it to immatrikulationsbuero (at) hu-berlin.de).

While HU offers doctoral students a pass for public transport (Semesterticket), you are not obliged to purchase it. If you prefer travelling by bike or if you will be abroad for the whole semester, please write an email indicating the reasons to the Immatrikulationsbüro and transfer the immatriculation fee minus the amount for the ticket.

Deadline

WiSe: 1.6.-15.7.; SoSe 1.1.-15.2.
Re-registrations and payments of up to two weeks late will incur an additional administration fee (19,94 €). If the delay exceeds two weeks, you will receive a letter regarding your exmatriculation.
