When studies are coming to a close

You can be exmatriculated at the Service Office for Students at any time.

Please submit your application to the Service Office for Students, along with the following documents

1. completed application for exmatriculation,
2. departmental release certificates
3. library release certificates

Your exmatriculation will not be automatically transmitted to the BAföG office by Münster University of Applied Sciences. You should therefore inform the BAföG office yourself that you have finished your studies. Otherwise, the BAföG payment would continue and you would have to pay back the money transferred.

Reimbursement of the semester ticket in the event of exmatriculation is made via the Service Office for Students at Münster University of Applied Sciences.

For other reasons for reimbursement, e.g. study-related absence from the place of study or exemption from the semester ticket due to a severely disabled ID with a token in accordance with § 145 SGB IX, please contact the AStA.

In principle, you will be exmatriculated at the latest at the end of the semester in which you took your last examination.

If, for example, you submitted your Bachelor's thesis (final examination) in mid-August but do not receive your grades until the end of September, you will still be exmatriculated at the end of the summer semester (31 August). Re-registration for the winter semester does not mean that you will have student status in the winter semester.

However, if you have already successfully completed your studies in April, for example, you can actively exmatriculate and are then entitled to a (partial) refund of the semester fee. Passing the examination or receipt of the certificate of successful completion of your final examination does not automatically lead to early exmatriculation.

The social contribution for the Studierendenwerk will be refunded on a pro-rata basis in the event of early de-registration. The student union fee for the AStA will only be reimbursed for the semester in which you are enrolled until the official start of lectures. The official start of lectures in the winter semester 2023/24 is 25 September.

The semester ticket will be refunded in full by the Service Office for Students until 45 days after the start of the semester (wintersemester until 15 October, summer semester until 14 April). After that, a refund is no longer possible in the event of exmatriculation. There is no provision for a partial refund of the semester ticket.
