You are obligated to pay the complete semester fee, even if you do not need a semester ticket. You can only be exempted from the fee for the semester ticket (for social or other reasons) upon application to the Student Union (AStA) (application deadlines: up to July 31 for the winter semester / up to February 28 for the summer semester; cut-off periods). Please contact only the Student Union (AStA) or the University of Potsdam regarding exemptions from the semester ticket fee. Specific information about valid reasons for an exemption, as well as the online applications, can be found here.
If students submit a leave of absence application to the Office of Student Affairs, they may also be exempted from paying the semester ticket fees, if they so desire.
If you are planning to end your studies at the end of the semester, or if you have already completed a final exam, then please review whether re-registration is required. You can find more information on this matterhere.
If you have not successfully completed your studies, please do not pay a semester fee; instead, please contact the Office of Student Affairs.
A change of address must be reported to the Office of Student Affairs or via the PULS portalin good time.
If there are any changes with regard to your insurance contract, we ask that you immediately send us the relevant forms from the health insurance company (original) or, if you are switching to a private insurance company, the exemption from statutory health insurance (copy) or a confirmation that you are not subject to statutory health insurance.
Applications for study related changes (changes in your degree program or your major, leaves of absence, etc.) should be made prior to the payment of your semester fees within the re-registration period. Please see here for more information on the procedure as well as the required forms.
Regardless of your application you must submit a Notification of Continuation of Studies in a Master’s Degree Program to the Office of Student Affairs within the re-registration period when you intend to continue your studies in a Master’s degree program.
