When you de-register from the university, you are ending your studies and, consequently, your enrollment at University of Applied Sciences Jena. After de-registration, you are no longer enrolled at the university.
There are various reasons for de-registration, for example: you have successfully completed your studies, you are transferring to another university, or you wish to drop out.

De-registration from the university can be initiated either at your request or automatically by the university.

You can submit a request to de-register from the university at any time. You have two options:

• de-registration as of a desired date (not a date in the past) or
• de-registration at the end of the semester, so that your student status remains active until the end of the current semester.

• Request for de-registration (pdf)

In certain cases, de-registration from the university occurs automatically, for example:

• if you do not re-register by the deadline,
• if you no longer meet the requirements for enrollment,
• if you have definitively failed your exams,
• upon successful completion of your degree
• or in other cases governed by law.

Canceling your enrollment or withdrawing from your place in the program does not constitute de-registration from the university. Find out what steps you need to take on this website: Withdrawing from Your Place in the Program/Canceling Your Enrollment.

Once your de-registration takes effect, your student status at the University of Applied Sciences Jena will end.

You will receive a certificate of de-registration, which includes, among other things, a summary of your time as a student at the University of Applied Sciences as well as important status details. This certificate is important for various agencies, such as the pension insurance office, as well as other universities, the BAföG office, employers, or the child benefit office.
The university will also electronically report your de-registration to the statutory health insurance provider.

Note: As of the requested date of de-registration, you will no longer have access to your student accounts (e.g., email, SelfService with grade reports, Student Services with enrollment certificates, etc.). Therefore, please back up your data BEFORE de-registration.
Please use up your thoska credit before deregistration, as it generally cannot be refunded. Any remaining thoska credit can be transferred back to your personal account at the top-up stations in the main dining halls.

If you have successfully completed your studies and have already re-registered, you can de-register from the university within the first ten days of the semester (by April 10 or October 10). Upon request, your tuition fees can then be refunded. Important: The Germany Semester Ticket must not have been activated yet.

Students who have paid long-term tuition fees have the option to request a refund of the long-term tuition fees already paid. The semester fee already paid cannot be refunded, as you were re-enrolled for this semester. De-registration must be completed by April 30 or October 31 at the latest.
