De-registration

Reimbursement of fees

Any fees paid can only be reimbursed if the application for exmatriculation is submitted within one month of lectures having commenced. Please note that you can only undertake examinations performances (written examinations. oral examinations, submission of final theses) if you are registered as a student. You do not need to be registered whilst your examination is being corrected.

Notification of other bodies

In order to avoid subsequent payment or requests for returns, in your own interest you should immediately notify other bodies (e.g. BAföG Office, Job Centre, child benefit office, health insurance company) about your exmatriculation.

Examinations:

Any examination procedure that has been initiated shall generally not be interrupted by exmatriculation. If you have registered for an examination procedure or the procedure is ongoing, please contact the responsible Examination Office before submitting your application for exmatriculation. If you fail to turn up for examinations to which you have registered, this will be assessed as a fail and, in the event of it being your final attempt at taking this particular examination, could lead to the definitive failure of the whole degree program.

Campuscard

It is expressly pointed out that your membership of Osnabrück University ends as soon as your exmatriculation comes into effect. Your entitlement to use the campuscard or student certificates for reductions ends at the same time. In the event of a breach, you will be punishable within the meaning of the German Criminal Code.

Your Campuscard must be handed in when your exmatriculation comes into effect.
