A semester fee is payable after enrolment and before the start of each subsequent semester. The semester fee comprises the student union fee, the social contribution and the mobility fee. The mobility fee entitles the holder to free use of local public transport throughout North Rhine-Westphalia.

Deadlines for enrolment...

• for first-time or new enrolments: You will be informed of the deadline for paying the semester fee in your confirmation of enrolment. We will send this to you by email as soon as we have enrolled you.
  Please do NOT pay the semester fee IN ADVANCE. This will delay your enrolment, as your payment cannot then be clearly allocated!

• For re-enroling students (you have been enrolled with us before): You will receive a payment request from us by email and will only be fully enrolled once we have received your payment and notification from your health insurance provider.

Re-enrolment deadlines

Re-enrolment within the deadline is possible:

• for a summer semester: from mid-January until 15 February each year
• for a winter semester: from mid-June until 15 August each year

Information for international students:

International bank transfers are often not automatically allocated. If you are making a transfer from a foreign bank account, please send us a payment receipt to intsek[at]uni-wuppertal.de so we can track your payment in our system.

Information for German course participants:

Participants in the preparatory German Language Course are not automatically re-enrolled upon receipt of the semester fee. Re-enrolment can only take place once we have received confirmation from the Language Teaching Institute. Please check the amount of bank charges when making an international bank transfer. The semester fee must be received in full by the University of Wuppertal.
