Semester Fees and Tuition Fees

Semester fee

All students studying at a higher education institution in Germany are required to pay a semester fee. The semester fee charged by the University of Mannheim is currently EUR 174.90. You need to pay this fee in order to be enrolled or re-registered for the next semester. The semester fee is made up of three separate contributions:

Administration fee: EUR 70
Studierendenwerk fee: EUR 95.40
Fee for the constituted student body: EUR 9.50

International exchange students are exempted from paying the administration fee due to exchange agreements between the higher education institutions. Moreover, they do not need to pay the fee for the constituted student body. Therefore, international exchange students only pay the Studierendenwerk fee.

Transferring the semester fee

Please transfer the semester fee to the bank account of the University of Mannheim indicated below before the re-registration deadline. As a payment reference, please make sure to indicate your name, student ID number, and the semester for which you wish to enroll or re-register.

Late fees
If you re-register late, the university will charge a late registration fee of EUR 20 in accordance with its general statutes on fees (Allgemeine Gebührensatzung) from 17 May 2006.

If you have already paid the semester fee but disenroll from the university, for instance because you are enrolling at another higher education institution or have finished your studies, we can reimburse your fees, provided you meet certain deadlines. Please bear in mind that you need to make separate reimbursement requests for each of the three contributions that make up the total semester fee.

Contribution	Amount	Will be reimbursed upon disenrollment
Administration fee	EUR 70	Before the start of the semester (fall semester: August 1 / spring semester: February 1) or during the semester if disenrollment becomes effective immediately and within one month after the official beginning of the lecture period. Request for reimbursement
Studierendenwerk fee	EUR 95.40	Please visit the website of the Studierendenwerk to find more information and to fill in the request for reimbursement. Under “Begründung”, students with a disability can also request reimbursement of the amount of the Studierendenwerk fee that goes towards the semester ticket.
Fee for the constituted student body	EUR 9.50	Before the start of the semester (fall semester: August 1 / spring semester: February 1) Request for reimbursement

The late re-registration fee of EUR 20 can only be reimbursed if you disenroll before the start of the semester.
