Study place Deregistration (exmatriculation)

If you wish to terminate your membership at a university at your own request:

• apply for exmatriculation in writing and, if necessary, justify this decision.
• You will then receive a written confirmation of your exmatriculation stating the reason and the date on which the exmatriculation takes effect.

Please contact the university where you are enrolled.

The Registrar's Office of the university where you are enrolled.

Which documents are required for exmatriculation varies from university to university.

There are no costs for the de-registration itself.

In the event of a late application for exmatriculation, fees for the following semester may be due.

Exmatriculation usually takes effect at the end of a semester. The deadlines that have to be observed vary from university to university.

If there are special reasons, an exmatriculation can also take place immediately.

The processing time can be found in the explanations on the homepage of the respective university.

In the event of ex officio exmatriculation, an objection can be lodged against the notice of exmatriculation. The procedure results from the enclosed information on the right of appeal.

After exmatriculation, there are a few things to consider, as the study status expires.

You should inform the health insurance company about the exmatriculation. You should ask whether the exmatriculation changes anything in your insurance cover.
