We are pleased that you would like to start your study at our University and already wish you a good start and a successful study!

To accept the admission, you must enroll. You will only become a student at the HfWU Nuertingen-Geislingen University after enrollment. The following steps are necessary for enrolment:

1. Read the checklist for the enrollment (Category "Checklist for Bachelor and Master") carefully.
2. Print out the Application for Enrollment and the Form for creating a HfWU StudiCard. Please fill out the forms completely and sign them. You can fill the forms out on your computer. We need your original signature.
3. Enclose the necessary documents with the application. Please also note the information on the categories "Information about the fees" and "Health Insurance".
4. Send us the Application for Enrollment with the complete documents by post or hand them in personally by the end of the enrollment period. The exact deadline can be found in the Letter of Admission.

Please note that the enrollment deadline is an exclusion period, i. e. if you miss this deadline, you will no longer be able to enroll and your study place will be allocated to other applicants.

It could take up to two weeks to process your Application for Enrollment!

Please note the information (e. g. semester opening, certificate of enrollment) at the category "After the Enrollment"!

Note for international students regarding visa issues: You can consult with your study program coordinator if you can start attending the lectures a little bit later. If you do not get a visa after enrolling, you would have to exmatriculate. In this case, a special rule to the reimbursement of the payment applies which you can read about here: www.hfwu.de/financial-issues.

Health insurance is mandatory in Germany for all students.

1. If you are insured with a statutory health insurance provider,
   you must provide proof.
2. If you have private health insurance or if you have health insurance abroad (for yourself or as a family member),
   you have to provide proof that you are exempt from statutory health insurance.
   In both cases, please contact your statutory health insurance provider (if you have one) or an alternative statutory health insurance provider and inform them about our registration number (“Betriebsnummer”): H0002042.
   Your insurance status will then be sent to us directly.
3. If you are over 30 years old, you are exempt from this obligation.

All admitted applicants must pay the administration fee, the Studierendenwerk fees and the student body fees, which currently amount to €172.40. This amount is called the semester contribution and must be paid each semester.

International students and students taking up a second degree study must pay additional tuition fees. Further information can be found below.

All contributions and fees are due for Enrollment for the first time and must be received by the deadline specified in the Letter of Admission. Please transfer all due contributions and fees to the following bank account:

Receiver: Landesoberkasse Baden-Württemberg
IBAN: DE02 6005 0101 7495 5301 02
BIC/SWIFT Code: SOLADEST600
Reference/Purpose: 8675190000011, Applicant Number of the HfWU, Last Name, First Name

Please make sure that you use the exact same reference/purpose! Without this data we will not receive your payment!

Please clarify before your transfer whether foreign banks may charge additional fees for the transfer so that the HfWU receives the correct amount. You may also need following details:

The semester fee and tuition fees must be received by the deadline specified in the Letter of Admission. Like the semester fee, tuition fees must be paid every semester. An installment payment is not possible.

If you assume that you are an exception of the tuition fees, please submit the filled out and signed Application for Exemption of tuition fees together with your Application for Enrollment and the relevant proofs. We will then check whether an exemption actually applies to you. If this is the case, your tuition fees will be reimbursed.

All information about tuition fees can be found on the page Financial Issues.

The confirmation that all documents are complete and you are enrolled is the receipt of the StudiCard. Please take it with you on the first days of university.

Please take your ID card and your StudiCard with you!
