These abbreviations define the type of higher education entrance qualification.

"aHR" means "Allgemeine Hochschulreife".

"FHR" means "Fachhochschulreife".

"fgHR" means "fachgebundene Hochschulreife".

If you have problems with the assignment of your higher education entrance qualification, please have a look in the help for the types of higher education entrance qualification.

You will receive your student ID card personally upon presentation of your identity card at the Study Service at the beginning of the semester (01.03. or 01.09.). Please note the opening hours. 

If you cannot be accepted, e.g. because your HZB does not entitle you to study at the Trier University of Applied Sciences or you decide on another place of study, you will get your money back.

Even if you want to cancel your enrolment, you will get your money back, as long as you do this by the beginning of the lecture. If an ID card has already been issued, the amount for the card (15 €) cannot be refunded.
