De-registration

De-registration marks the end of your studies at the University of Bayreuth.

You will be de-registered if you have completed your studies, have not re-registered, or have failed an intermediate or final examination. However, there may also be other reasons for de-registration.

Information sheet deregistration

Provisions on deregistration can be found in article 94 of the Bavarian Higher Education Innovation Act and in §§ 14, 15 of the enrolment regulations.

De-registration form Hide

Withdrawal / cancellation form

Early de-registration before the legally stipulated date is possible and can be applied for at the Student Office. Students are responsible for any consequences this may have. Whether self-initiated de-registration has any implications for examination regulations and how long enrollment is necessary should be clarified in advance with the relevant examination office.

The withdrawal / cancellation form is to be submitted to the Student Administration Office in person or by post. You must present or send in your Campus-Card. Sending in of the Campus-Card may only be foregone if deregistration is to take place at the end of the semester (30.09. or 31.03.) and re-enrolment for the following semester has not yet been carried out. In this case, the application can be submitted by e-mail.

Withdrawal from enrolment is possible at any time, but not retroactively. It must take place no later than the end of the semester in which the student is currently enrolled. If you decide to withdraw, deregistration must be completed no later than the end of the semester in which you are currently enrolled. If you are transferring to another university, we recommend deregistering at the end of the respective semester.

Please note: If you de-register or withdraw your enrollment within four weeks of the start of the lecture period, this semester will not count as a subject semester in accordance with Section 9 (5) of the University of Bayreuth's Enrollment, Re-enrollment, and De-registration Regulations. If you de-register after this period, the semester will automatically count as a subject semester.

De-registration after graduation Hide

De-registration by virtue law takes place at the end of the semester in which the degree certificate is issued. You will receive a letter of de-registration by post.

If you intend to study a different degree programme (e.g. Master´s, secound degree programme, doctoral studies programme) at the University of Bayreuth in the following semester, you can apply for a change of subject combination in order to transfer to the new degree program.
