Late fees
If you re-register late, the university will charge a late registration fee of EUR 20 in accordance with its General Statutes of Fees (Allgemeine Gebührensatzung) as of 17 May 2006.

In the following cases, it is possible to be exempted from the obligation to pay tuition fees:

• if you are on academic leave of absence as defined in section 61 LHG, provided you requested the leave before the beginning of the lecture period.
• if you are completing a placement semester as defined in section 29 subsection 3 sentence 2 LHG,
• if you have a disability as defined in section 2 of the ninth book of the German Social Code (SGB IX) which causes you considerable difficulties during your studies.

If you disenroll within one month after the lecture period has started, we can reimburse you for any fees you have already paid upon request. Please use the form Request for reimbursement of tuition fees to request the reimbursement of tuition fees you have already paid.

In case you are enrolled in two or more degree programs at one or several higher education institutions in Baden-Württemberg at the same time, you will be obliged to pay tuition fees starting from the semester following the completion of your first degree (according to the date indicated on the degree certificate). You will receive an individual notification of fees in this case.

All students and applicants are obliged to share any personal data the university requires in order to charge fees or grant exceptions, exemptions or reductions. They are also obliged to submit the required documents at the latest when enrolling or re-registering.
