Enrollment for international students (non-EU)

You need the following documents for online enrollment:

• University entrance qualification (e.g. Abitur certificate, A-levels certificate, high school diploma)
• Proof of current or previous studies if you were or are already enrolled in Germany.

Log on to your application account in HohCampus and select “accept university place”/”Studienplatz annehmen” and / or “request enrollment”/”Immatrikulation beantragen”. Fill out all fields required for online enrollment. Together with the enrollment checklist, you will also receive a letter with information about your IT user account.

This is very important as it can take several weeks until we receive it! Please only transfer the amount when you are sure that you will be studying in Hohenheim, e.g. when you have received any necessary visa.

• Semester fee: € 186.70
• If you have to pay additional tuition fees, you will receive a separate notification for € 1,500.00 tuition fees

Have you received a fee notice?

• Please read it carefully.
• Have you made your final decision to study at the University of Hohenheim?
• Have you already obtained a visa for Germany?
• If so, it is advisable to transfer the tuition fee (€ 1,500.00) and the enrollment fee (€ 186.70) in one amount while you are still in your home country.
• Make sure that the transfer fees and possible losses due to the exchange rate are also covered by the payment.
• Upload the bank transfer receipt when you enroll.

Purpose of transfer (Verwendungszweck): Please use the number indicated in the “Checklist for enrollment”. This checklist will be printed out together with the application for enrollment. You will also find the bank details there.

Have you received notification from the Office of International Affairs that you have an exemption or waiver from tuition fees for international students? Then upload the following documents in the “Other” (Sonstiges) field:

• Signed information form
• Documents proving the exemption or waiver

Do you have any questions about the requirement to pay tuition fees? Detailed information can be found on the website of the Office of International Affairs. There you will also find the contact details for Ms. Oxana Cubasov, who will be happy to advise you.

Enrollment documents

• Copy of your passport
• Copy of your visa or residence permit
• Exmatrikulationsbescheid (notice of exmatriculation), if you have already been enrolled at an institution of higher education in Germany
• Only for Bachelor’s students: Result of the study orientation test
• Electronic notification from a German statutory health insurance company
  
  Non-EU students and EU students:
  Please contact a German statutory health insurance company and request the “Meldegrund 10 für Uni Hohenheim.” On the internet you can find a detailed list of statutory health insurance companies. The health insurance company will then report the health insurance certificate directly to us electronically. Please note that we can only accept this notification from the health insurance company and not any other form of documentation. The EHIC or chip card, written membership certificate, or travel insurance cannot be accepted.
  If you are already over 30 years old and starting a degree program, you can usually only get private health insurance. Please select a private health insurance company and then contact a statutory German health insurance company so that they can report the health insurance certificate to us electronically.

• Proof that you have transferred the semester fees and, if applicable, tuition fees
  Please do not transfer the amount until you are sure that you will be studying at Hohenheim, e.g., when you have received any visa that may be required.
• If applicable, please upload the documents proving the exemption or waiver of tuition fees for international students in the “Other” (Sonstiges) field.

Enrollment is only complete once you have uploaded all of the above documents to HoHCampus. Please note that we cannot issue a provisional student ID at the time of enrollment. In order to buy the VVS StudiTicket, you must wait until you have been enrolled in the system and your ID card has been created.

After your documents have been checked, they will be forwarded to the Registrar’s Office, where your student ID will be issued. Approximately two weeks after uploading the documents listed above, you will receive an email with information on where you can pick up your student ID.

If you do not want to accept this admission offer, simply let the enrollment deadline go by without taking any action.
