At the end of your stay & departure
- If you have a bank account in Germany, please remember to cancel it prior to your departure.
- If you have signed up with a German health insurance, you must cancel your contract. Please keep in mind that cancellation periods of up to several months may apply.
- Please make an appointment with the caretaker of your dorm two weeks before moving out for a check-out inspection. If you have left your room clean and without damage you can go to the Studentenwerk and ask for your security deposit back (cash or deposited into a European bank account).
