Exmatriculation

After the final examination, you will be de-registered and your studies will end at the end of the semester in which you take the final examination.

If you wish to end your studies earlier, this is possible on request at the end of the semester or on a date during the current semester (not retroactively).

Possible reasons for de-registration may include

• Change of subject/change of university
• Dropping out of studies
• Called up for military service

Please return your borrowed books etc. to the library before exmatriculation and hand in your key card.

Have the return confirmed and submit the completed proof of discharge, signed by the library or building services, together with the application for de-registration.

Note: Please fill in the proof of discharge with your details and have the form signed and stamped by the library and building services.

Please sign the printed and fully completed de-registration application form and send it with the proof of discharge as a scan to: rueckmeldung@hfmt.hamburg.de

• Will the semester contribution be refunded if I exmatriculate? Answer: Yes, if the semester contribution has already been paid for the coming semester, the refund can be made. Please state the account details for the refund in the e-mail you send us with your application.
• Who do I have to inform? Answer: Please inform all authorities independently about the end of your studies (family fund/child benefit, BAföG office, health insurance, immigration authorities, ...).

If you require a certificate of your pension loss periods for your period of study at the HfMT HH, you can request this from us using the contact form here. The request will be forwarded to the relevant tax office.

If you exmatriculated in the summer semester 2024 and paid the full semester contribution for the summer semester 2024, you can have a portion of the semester contribution refunded in the amount of EUR 17.40 due to the retroactive adjustment. The prerequisite is that you were or are no longer enrolled at the HfMT HH and have not had the SemesterTicket portion reimbursed by the Studierendenwerk in the summer semester 2024. You can find the contact form for the refund here.
