Confirmation for the statutory pension provider
You will be issued a confirmation of disenrollment, a certificate indicating your period of enrollment at the university, and a confirmation for the statutory pension provider when you disenroll from the University of Mannheim. The confirmation for the statutory pension provider serves as proof of how long you studied at the University of Mannheim. After completing your studies, please submit it to the Deutsche Rentenversicherung, along with your degree certificate, to have your period of study recognized for your pension.
Requesting the confirmation for the statutory pension provider
People who completed their studies some time ago and did not receive the confirmation upon their disenrollment may request one from Student Services. To do so, please send an e-mail to Student Services. The subject should read “Rentenbescheinigung” and the e-mail should include the following information:
- last name, first name
- date of birth, place of birth,
- current address,
- periods of study (from... to...),
- degree program,
- degree awarded (yes/no), date.
Please note that processing your inquiry may take a while. Thank you for your patience.
