The amount of the semester fee is displayed to each student in the Studis-Portal in the "My Studies - Study Service" (Mein Studium - Studienservice) section under the payments section for the respective semester periods. The beginning of a pre-registration phase is communicated by e-mail. As a rule, this e-mail is sent in mid-June for the winter semester and in mid-December for the summer semester.   

After a positive examination of the application documents, applicants will receive a request for payment by e-mail.   

If you have any questions about the amount and composition of the semester fee, please contact the staff of the Admision & Student Service Staff .

The cost for the Deutschlandsemesterticket is included in the semester fees.

To register for the ‘Deutschlandsemesterticket’, students only need their personal university ID and password  in the Portazon app (which provides the digital ticket). This data is sufficient to receive the ticket as a QR code on your mobile phone.

All information about the Deutschlandsemesterticket can be found here:

Withdrawal from examinations in the case of medical illness

The reasons given for failing to attend an Exam or for withdrawing after the start of an exam must be reported immediately in a written and credible form to the Study Service. In the unfortunate event of illness, the certificate must be submitted to the Study Service as soon as possible, i.e. without hesitation, at the latest no later than the third working day after the examination date. The certificate must show that the student is unable to participate in the examination. Please use the following suppementary sheet to declare your withdrawal.

You can also use the ‘Medical certificate’ form from the Trier University of Applied Sciences Student Services. If you use this form, you do not need to submit the supplementary sheet.

Certificates of incapacity for work that are available on online portals such as au-schein.de or teleclinic.com are not accepted as proof of valid reasons for absence from examinations.

Attention!!! In some courses of study the presentation of an official medical certificate is required. Please find out in time which certificate is required by your examination committee.

Withdrawal from examinations during pregnancy

During pregnancy, special protection regulations apply in accordance with the German Maternity Protection Law. In order to exercise these rights, the pregnancy must first be notified to the Study Service. The following link (in german)  will provide you with further important information.

At the Trier University of Applied Sciences, study and examination achievements acquired in a university in Germany or abroad are recognised upon application by the student. Recognition can only be refused if there is evidence of a significant difference between the work performed and the work to be replaced. The application must be addressed to the respective examination board. The application shall list the modules desired for recognition. Certificates of achievement and module descriptions must be enclosed with the application. Students receive a notification of recognition from the Student Administration Office.

Recognition or accreditation is regulated in the respective examination regulations for your degree programme. The examination regulations are published at PUBLICUS (in german), the official publication of the Trier University of Applied Sciences. 

You can find information on the procedure here (in german).

To re-register, please transfer the semester fee. If you have credit balances (these have been offset) from overpayments from previous semesters, the individual transfer amount will be displayed in the StudIS portal in the “My Studies - Study Service” area under the “Payments” tab. You can access the portal at the following address:

The contribution must be transferred to the following bank details:

Bank: Postbank Ludwigshafen

Please make the transfer in good time so that the required student contribution is transfered on the forementioned account by the end of the re-registration deadline!

We recommend making the transfer or cash deposit at a bank based in Germany, as in the past there have been delays in posting foreign transfers.

Be sure to include your matriculation number, first and last name and the course of study in the intended purpose. If this information is not clearly identifiable, feedback cannot be given.

After receipt of the student contribution on the forementioned account at the Postbank Ludwigshafen (usually 5 – 7 working days after your transfer) we will implement the re-registration.

The validation machines are located in building G (in the passage to building H) at Schneidershof and in building Q (on the ground floor in front of room Q11) at Irminenfreihof. The machines are in operation Monday to Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

GENERAL INFORMATION

If you intend to take a leave of absence for the coming semester, a formal application is required, stating the reason and providing relevant evidence. Applications for leave of absence must be submitted by the end of the re-registration period.

If you no longer intend to continue your studies at Trier University of Applied Sciences in the coming semester (exmatriculation), we ask you to submit the corresponding formal application for exmatriculation by the end of the semester at the latest:

• for a summer semester on August 31st
• for a winter semester on February 28th or 29th

Students can be temporarily absent from their studies if they submit a written application and provide proof of an important reason.

A retroactive exeat does not take place. Exceptions are only possible in the case of sudden and unexpected events occurring within four weeks of the beginning of the semester.

Reasons for exeat are in particular:

• An extended period of illness of the student which prevents proper study in the semester in which the course is taking place
• Care of a relative who is ill or otherwise in need of help as well as a partner who does not permit orderly studying in the semester in question, in particular as a result of the overwhelming personal presence of the person to be cared for as a result of the care
• Internships, unless required by an examination regulation 
• A study visit abroad or the completion of a practical work experience abroad to study. 
• Periods of pregnancy or maternity of a child
• Financing the studies
• Activity under the Federal Voluntary Service Act (BFDG) 
• Cases of other particular social hardship

An exeat to prepare for a final examination, Bachelor's or Master's thesis, etc. is excluded.

A change of course or the transition to a Master's course is basically a change of enrolment.  A change of enrolment can only be made upon request during the application/enrolment deadlines.

You must submit your application via  Studis-Portal . Detailed instructions can be found here.

The application for de-registration can be made at any time. It takes effect at the end of the de-registration semester if no other date is applied. A retroactive cancellation of the enrolment upon application is inadmissible. The application for de-registration on the date of application takes effect from the following day of receipt of the application at the Trier University of Applied Sciences.
