Contribution refund

Reimbursement of fees paid (including the Deutschlandticket for students) is only possible if the  application for de-registration (PDF, 138 kB) is submitted within one month of the start of lectures. Please note that you can only take examinations (written examinations, oral examinations, submission of theses) if you are enrolled. You do not have to be enrolled for the correction phases.

Campuscard

It is expressly pointed out that your membership of Osnabrück University ends when your de-registration takes effect. From this point in time, your right to use the Deutschlandticket for students or to use your student ID card or study certificates for concessions also expires. Failure to do so will make you liable to prosecution under the German Criminal Code.

The Campuscard must be handed in at the same time as exmatriculation takes effect.

Information from other bodies

In order to avoid additional payments or reclaims, you should inform other offices (e.g. BAföG office, Federal Employment Agency, child benefit fund, health insurance fund) of your exmatriculation immediately in your own interest.

Examinations

An examination procedure that has been initiated is not interrupted by de-registration. If you have registered for an examination procedure or are already in one, please contact the relevant Examination Office before submitting your application for de-registration. Failure to attend registered examinations will result in failing the examination and, in the case of the last repeat attempt, the final failure of the entire degree program.
