Re-Registration

All students who have not re-registered will be removed from the register of students by the end of the current semester.

The semester fee for the summer semester 2018 is €267.30.

Exceptions apply for joint degree programs and programs parallel to professional employment.

Students who are graduating in the current semester, i.e. in a semester for which they are already registered, do not need to re-register for the upcoming semester. What is important in this regard is the date the final thesis is submitted or the final examination is taken. The date the results of the thesis or final examination are announced is irrelevant.

Example:

1. Final thesis is submitted/final examination is taken on February 28, 2018:  
Re-registration for the summer semester 2018 not required.

2. Final thesis is submitted/final examination is taken on March 1, 2018 or later:
Re-registration required.

​For all students enrolled at TH Köln, the following re-registration deadlines apply:
January 10: Re-registration for the summer semester ​(Image: TH Köln )​

• Summer semester: January 10
• Winter semester: July 10

TH Köln must have received the fees by these dates. We therefore ask you to transfer the amount payable a few days in advance.

Please also take note of a potential late fee.

In some cases students cannot be re-registered despite having paid the fee in time:

• students who fail to meet certain requirements, such as internship requirements, or who have not officially selected a specialization for the upcoming semester
• students who have not submitted proof of health insurance or may be barred from re-registration for other reasons

Due to the introduction of the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA), TH Köln can no longer offer the option of re-registering online by paying semester fees by electronic direct debit via PSSO. All payments are to be made by bank transfer.

Should you not have re-registered in time, you are required to pay a late fee of € 17.50.

If you fail to meet one of the following deadlines, you will also have to pay the late fee of €17.50:

• if you failed to hand in a health insurance certificate or have not yet selected your specialization, please contact your Office of Student Services prior to the end of the re-registration deadline (July 10 for each winter semester and January 10 for each summer semester).
• internship certificates are to be submitted by the deadlines listed in the respective examination regulations (usually at the end or beginning of the semester).
• All cross-registered students ('Zweithörer') are asked to submit their latest certificate of enrollment of their home university by September 30 for the winter semester and March 31 for the summer semester and
• cross-registered students enrolled in the same program as at their home university (kleine Zweithörerinnen/Zweithörer) are required to pay a cross-registration fee of €100 per semester within the re-registration deadline (July 10 for each winter semester and January 10 for each summer semester)

Cross-registered students pay their semester fees at their home university.
