Re-Registration and Semester Fee
Re-Registration
You are responsible for re-registration yourself – you will not receive a separate request to do so.
Students intending to continue their studies in the coming semester renew their enrollment by transferring the semester fee before the deadline (by February 15th or August 15th).
Please note that we must have your current address and any changes in health insurance must be transmitted digitally by the health insurance company to the University of Bremen. Students who do not properly re-register by paying the semester fee or do not maintain proof of health insurance will be withdrawn from studies.
For a leave-of-absence semester with / without a Deutschlandsemesterticket, an application must be submitted to the Student Office by the end of the re-registration deadline (February 15th / August 15th of each year).
Applications for Deutschlandsemesterticket exemptions must be submitted by two weeks after the start of lectures.
If there are no objections, the registration or enrollment will be carried out by the Student Office upon receipt of the full semester fee. You will then receive your study documents by mail. The Deutschlandsemesterticket will be made available to you electronically.
The semester documents include:
- Your master data sheet ("Stammdatenblatt") for safekeeping and to register for exams
- Your student ID
- University enrollment certificate
- Your Bafög certificate
Germany semester ticket
The Germany Semester Ticket (D-Seti for short) will be introduced for students at the University of Bremen in the winter semester 2024/2025. The retrieval link for the D-Seti will be made available to students by e-mail from the Student Office after re-registration/matriculation in good time before the start of the semester (01.10./01.04.).
Information on the D-Seti can be found on the website of the General Students' Committee (ASTA) https://www.asta.uni-bremen.de/service/semesterticket/ in the section "Introduction of the Deutschlandsemesterticket for the winter semester 2024/2025" and at https://www.dein-semesterticket.de/.
As part of the provision of the D-Seti, the bodies responsible for providing the D-Seti receive data from the University of Bremen and the AStA of the University of Bremen. You can find more information on this in the data protection information.

If you withdraw from classes during the semester or have paid too much, you have the option of receiving a refund.
You can request a refund with the Request for a Refund form.
The following fees can be reimbursed:
Student Services Fee (€85.00):
In general, the fee does not apply in the case of leave of absence for the special reasons of parental leave and illness.
In case of withdrawal in the first half of the semester (until December 31 or June 30), the student services fee will be fully refunded.
AStA Students' Union Fee (€21.00):
This fee is generally non-refundable. The only exception is the withdrawal of enrolment (return of place of study) or re-registration, provided that the semester (01.04./01.10.) has not yet begun.
The refund can only be made against return of the semester documents.
Kultursemesterticket (€2.10):
This fee is generally non-refundable. The only exception is the withdrawal of enrolment (return of place of study) or re-registration, provided that the semester (01.04./01.10.) has not yet begun.
The refund can only be made against return of the semester documents.
Semester Ticket (€176.40):
The Deutschland-Semesterticket will be available from winter semester 2024/25. Further information will follow.
You have the option of waiving your semester ticket during a leave of absence.
In the event of withdrawal or cancellation of enrollment or re-registration, the semester ticket can only be refunded at the student office if you have not yet used it and lectures have not yet begun.
If you have already used the ticket or if the lecture period has already begun, you can have your semester ticket refunded by the General Student Committee (pro rata for the remaining months to the end of the semester).
Administration Fee (€50.00):
The contribution to administrative costs is generally non-refundable.
The contribution to administrative costs is generally waived for a second consecutive leave of absence.
If you withdraw your enrolment or re-register before the semester documents have been printed, the entire semester fee can be refunded.
