All students are required to re-register each semester by the deadline set by TH Köln. Students are automatically re-registered once they have paid the semester fees and have, if so required, submitted all necessary documents.
All students who have not re-registered will be removed from the register of students by the end of the current semester.
The semester fee for the winter semester 2018/2019 is €268.70.
Exceptions apply for joint degree programs and programs parallel to professional employment.
Re-registration and graduation
Students who are graduating in the current semester, i.e. in a semester for which they are already registered, do not need to re-register for the upcoming semester. What is important in this regard is the date the final thesis is submitted or the final examination is taken. The date the results of the thesis or final examination are announced is irrelevant.
1. Final thesis is submitted/final examination is taken on August 31, 2018:
Re-registration for the winter semester 2018/2019 not required.
2. Final thesis is submitted/final examination is taken on September 1, 2018 or later:
Additional information is available in the download section: "Information for graduating students: Re-register or not?"
For all students enrolled at TH Köln, the following re-registration deadlines apply:
- Summer semester: January 10
- Winter semester: July 10
TH Köln must have received the fees by these dates. We therefore ask you to transfer the amount payable a few days in advance.
Please also take note of a potential late fee.
In some cases students cannot be re-registered despite having paid the fee in time:
- students who fail to meet certain requirements, such as internship requirements, or who have not officially selected a specialization for the upcoming semester
- students who have not submitted proof of health insurance or may be barred from re-registration for other reasons
Due to the introduction of the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA), TH Köln can no longer offer the option of re-registering online by paying semester fees by electronic direct debit via PSSO. All payments are to be made by bank transfer.
