Re-registration

You need to re-register for the following semester by the end of the re-registration deadline. Please ensure that you register in full and by the deadline provided. With regard to the semester fees and contributions it means, that they have to be booked on the TU Berlin bank account until the end of the re-registration deadline. To initiate the transfer to our bank account on the last day of re-registration deadline is not sufficient. Please consider the respective bank terms.

A re-registration for the next semester after the deadline is only possible until the last day of the semester in which you are still registered. Note that you have to have already payed the late fee.

The current re-registration deadlines can be found here.

You will receive your notification of re-registration in good time to your TU email address. Not receiving the notification to re-register does not excuse you from the obligation to re-register as required. We recommend you regularly check your inbox for any new emails and ensure that your inbox has sufficient capacity. If you have previously experienced problems receiving emails, please contact IT support at ZECM.

• Which account do I need to transfer the re-registration fees to?
  Bank details can be viewed in tuPORT in the app "Zahlungsübersicht” (overview of payments). Please transfer the semester fee to the bank accounted provided there only. It is NOT possible to pay the semester fee in cash to the University Cashier. And it is NOT possible to pay the semester fee in installments.
   
• Which reference for the transfer of fees should i provide?
  Please provide the reference stated in the app "My Account Balance". This consists of a code for the semester and your TUB ID (your matriculation number). Your money can only be booked if you provide this reference. Failure to provide the reference may lead to a delay in your re-registration.
   
• Can I have refundable amounts applied to my re-registration fee?
  Refundable amounts will NOT be offset against semester amounts due. Please always transfer the semester amount required for the respective semester in full. Otherwise, re-registration is not possible! You can find the semester amount for the current re-registration semester in the app "My Account Balance" in your tuPORT.
   
• Paying the semester fee from abroad
  If you are transferring your semester fee from abroad, please be aware that some banks charge additional fees for international transfers and that these are deducted from the amount transferred. To re-register, however, the required sum must be deposited in full into TU Berlin’s account . We therefore advise you to check fees with your bank in advance.

• If you have re-registered for the next semester and are entitled to use your Semesterticket, then the Semesterticket included in your student ID will be activated from the start of the semester. You do not need to do anything else.
• If you only re-register after the semester has commenced, then your Semesterticket will be activated the day following your re-registration.
• If you do not wish to re-register or if you are exempted from the Semesterticket, the Semesterticket will be deactivated.

• Late re-registration
  If you fail to re-register by the deadline, a late fee of EUR 19.94 is due for re-registration completed by 31 March for the following summer semester and by 30 September for the following winter semester. Please check the app "Registration and Re-registration" in tuPORT and regard the data stated in the app "My Account Balance" for your payment. Failure to re-register by the end of the semester will result in termination of your enrollment ex officio.
   
• No re-registration
  If you do not re-register or do not transfer the re-registration fee in full or/and do not upload a requiered document, your enrollment will be terminated ex officio. You will be informed of this via email to your TU email address and via tuPORT. Your TUB account will be deactivated six months after termination of enrollment.

What is multiple enrollment?

• Under certain conditions, it may be possible to enroll at TU Berlin while you are also enrolled at another university in Berlin or Brandenburg as your primary university.
• Students with multiple enrollment pay semester fees and exercise their membership rights at their primary university.

Foreign students receiving a scholarship are exempt from paying the 50 euro administration fee included in the semester fee for the duration of the scholarship pursuant to § 2 (7) BerlHG. Once your scholarship ends, the system will automatically charge you the full semester fee.

If your scholarship is renewed or if you enrolled before submitting proof of your scholarship, please inform the relevant bachelor’s or master’s team immediately by email. You must also submit your scholarship award letter in tuPORT in the app “Upload documents” as the document type “sonstiges/other”. Otherwise, we are unable to waive the administration fee and you will be requested to pay the semester fee in full.

Please note that proof of your scholarship can only be considered for current and future semesters. Administration fees for past semesters for which you did not submit proof of scholarship will not be reimbursed.

As a rule, we can only accept proof from German scholarship providers.
