What do I have to pay attention to with my student grant (BAföG)?

Please be sure to observe the BAföG regulations when changing subject or degree programme!

As a rule, a change of degree programme up to the end of the 3rd semester has no effect on the BAföG entitlement if it is for an important reason. A later change is also possible under special conditions. Please inform yourself before the intended change at the BAföG office of the Studentenwerk Oldenburg.

Information for international students

If you have a residence permit for your studies, you must coordinate your change of subject or university with the responsible foreigners authority. The International Office can advise you on this topic.
