Payment of the Semester Fee (and Tuition Fees)

To pay the semester fee/tuition fees, you must issue a SEPA direct debit mandate as part of the re-registration process and after that arrange for the payment. For security reasons, the direct debit mandate must be re-issued every semester. To initiate the direct debit, you will need your IBAN as well as BIC number. The semester fee can only be debited from your own current account.

Payment Errors and Fees for Late Payments

In the following cases, the direct debit order you issued through the online re-registration will not be accepted, and a return debit note is issued:

  • You are not the account owner for the account you gave the IBAN for
  • You submitted details of a savings account / a credit card / of a foreign account
  • Your account does not have enough funds

A return debit note will result in cancellation of the re-registration. An additional return debit note fee of 20.00 EUR will be charged.

For a  late payment (from 02.02.2024 until 29.02.2024), a late payment surcharge of 10.00 EUR will be added to the total amount. A late payment surcharge of 10.00 EUR will also be charged if the direct debit mandate was created on time but the actual payment is not triggered thereafter.
