Regulations
Here you can find the most important information and forms related to enrolment (for example leave of absence, deregistration, reregistration, part time degree programme).
Change of address
To make sure that you receive your enrolment certificate and CampusCard on time and without complication, you can change your address directly in Stud.IP.
- Use the link Studium > Meine Studienleistungen/ -daten > Meine Studiendaten > Kontaktdaten to change your address directly.
You can also print your enrolment certificate and confirmation for BAföG from this link.
Leave of absence
Reasons
You can take a leave of absence without reason for a maximum of three semesters. If you would like to take a leave of absence beyond this limit, you must provide a justified reason, for which you need to provide evidence. The maximum permitted leave of absence if an important reason has been provided and approved is five semesters. Parental leave is an exception in this case. If you are caring for a child, you are entitled to a leave of absence of a maximum of six semesters up to the end of the child's eighth year.
Deadlines
The application for a leave of absence must be submitted to the Registrar's Office within one month after the start of the lecture period. We recommend submitting your application during the reregistration period so that you do not receive any reminders or you are not deregistered for not reregistering.
Notes
BAFöG recipients must inform the Student Administration and Social Welfare Organisation (Studentenwerk) of their leave of absence at the earliest possible opportunity. During the leave of absence you may not attend courses or sit examinations (however examinations sat in another country may be accredited with the agreement of the examination committee).

Deregistration
You can deregister at any time (however not retrospectively) by applying for deregistration. If you do not specify a date for deregistration, you will be deregistered at the end of the current semester.
Please bring your CampusCard with you or send them to us, if you do not wish to be deregistered at the end of the semester.
The AStA will decide whether a partial refund of the semester ticket fees is possible based on the exmatriculation certificate.
Payments may only be refunded if the deregistration (form) is received at least one month after the start of the lecture period.

Accident insurance
All students and PhD candidates are insured against accidents by Landeskasse Niedersachsen in Hanover. The costs for this are covered by the state of Lower Saxony and students do not have pay contributions. If you have an accident, please submit an accident form to the InfoDesk in the SSC or Registrar’s Office. All accidents must be reported, not just sport accidents. Please fill out the form using a computer and not by hand.
