Information on re-registration (fees, etc.) will be sent by e-mail to your University of Potsdam e-mail address.
If you wish to continue your studies at the University of Potsdam in the following semester, you must renew your registration. You must complete your re-registration between June 15 and July 15 for the following winter semester, and between January 15 and February 15 for the following summer semester. Late re-registration is possible, upon payment of the associated administrative fee (€10.00), from July 16 to August 31 for the winter semester and from February 16 to March 15 for the summer semester. (Please also note the deadlines in the University of Potsdam’s Official Announcements!)
At the beginning of January and at the beginning of June, an e-mail containing information on re-registration and instructions on how to pay your semester fees will be sent to your University of Potsdam e-mail address.
In addition, you will receive a reminder through PULS during the re-registration period: if your re-registration payment has not yet been completed, a sample bank transfer form for the payment of your semester fees will be displayed on the start-up screen immediately after logging on to your account. This sample bank transfer form includes all individual information, such as the exact amount of your semester fees and the purpose of payment (“Verwendungszweck”). The adminisrative fee for late re-registration will be applied after the expiration of the regular re-registration period, with the sum entered in the personal transfer order template (sample) for re-registration.
When filling out the bank transfer form for your re-registration, please make sure that you always use the current purpose of payment (“Verwendungszweck”) as listed in your re-registration e-mail and in PULS.
With your timely and complete payment of the semester fees you will be automatically re-registered for the new semester, unless other circumstances prevent your re-registration. If your personal or study-related data has changed, you must notify the Office of Student Affairs of any changes prior to the payment of your semester fees.
You can update your University Chip Cards at the validation stations starting February 1 (for the summer semester) and July 1 (for the winter semester).
The printing of a certificate of enrollment (also to be used for BAföG) is available through PULS as of the afore mentioned period.

If you changed your health insurance provider, we need an electronic confirmation from your new provider.
