disenrolment (from university)

You can cancel your registration in person or by mail. If you choose the latter option, please send the confirmation of release required for cancellation—signed as indicated in point 3) (student canteen), if applicable—by mail (or by dropping it in the building’s mailbox) along with your student ID to the Admissions Office. Once all signatures have been obtained, we will mail you the corresponding certificates after final processing. Please provide us with a current address on the confirmation of release for this purpose! Any credit balance on your student ID card will be documented, and you can then request a refund from 'Studentenwerk' (student union).

A early disenrolment (from university) may

• take place at the student’s request or
• ex officio.

To perform a voluntary disenrolment, you must submit an informal request stating the reason and the desired date for disenrolment. You can submit this request using the “Request for Disenrolment” form or online via E-Campus (under the menu item: “My Studies – Requests”). The reason may be stated briefly (e.g., changing universities, starting a job, personal, academic, financial, or health-related reasons, etc.) and does not need to be explained in detail.
Disenrolment (from university) occurs when the university initiates the disenrolment (e.g., loss of the right to take examinations, failure to complete re-registration, lack of health insurance, etc.).
In both cases, the student must disenrol from the university by presenting the confirmation of release. The individual offices listed can be visited in any order. The final stop is always the Admissions Office. There, upon submission

• the application for withdrawal,
• the completed confirmation of release, and
• the chip card

, the departure certificates (de-registration certificate and pension insurance certificate) will be issued or made available for printing on E-Campus (under the menu item: Student Services; tab: Notices/Certificates).

Upon request, the Examination Office will issue an official transcript of records earned at the university.

With the issuance of the new chip card in the winter semester 2013/14, loading funds onto the chip card’s wallet and the disbursement of remaining balances will be handled exclusively by the 'Studentenwerk' (student union). Please contact the cash registers in the student canteen regarding the withdrawal of remaining balances.

Students at the Görlitz campus can submit their withdrawal documents in Görlitz to Ms. Isendahl (Secretariat of the Department of Computer Science).

Please also note that your access to internal and external university network services (login, email, home directory, OPAL) will expire upon disenrolment (from university), and your stored data will be deleted.

• The date of withdrawal is the day of the defense
• According to the currently applicable regulations for admission, it is also possible to undertake disenrolment (from university) at a later date following the thesis defense.
• Please print your confirmation of release from E-Campus (under the menu item: Student Services; tab: Notices/Certificates) before your thesis defense date.

The Certificate of Completion confirms in writing that you have successfully passed your final exam (usually the defense of your Bachelor’s, Diplom, or Master's thesis). Only with this proof can the Admissions Office process your withdrawal immediately after the defense and issue you the necessary departure certificates (withdrawal certificate, pension insurance certificate).

Graduates also have the option of obtaining the necessary signatures on the confirmation of release before the defense and, in the case of an online defense, submitting it by mail.

According to the regulations for admission, it is not possible to apply for disenrolment from the university after the submission of the Diplom thesis but before the defense. If you intend to apply for disenrolment from the university at a later date following the thesis defense (e.g., at the end of the current semester), you must submit a written application for disenrolment no later than the day of the thesis defense. This can be submitted using the “Application for Disenrolment” form or online via E-Campus. Please be aware of the potential consequences of such a request. For this reason, you should carefully consider whether to submit such a request (see the “Request for Disenrolment (from university)” form for further information).

If the date of disenrolment is the same as the date of the thesis defense, no separate application for disenrolment is required.

Please also note that your access to internal and external university network services (login, email, home directory, OPAL) will expire upon disenrolment (from university), and your stored data will be deleted.
