Re-registration is the payment of the semester fee. Only the payment of the semester fee secures the right to continue studying. Students who wish to continue their studies in the coming semester must re-register within the re-registration period by paying the semester fee.

Payment must always be made at the beginning of January or July. The semester fee consists of the student union fee, the administrative fee and the fee for the student body. This fee must be paid for each semester in which you are enrolled at the university, i.e. also during a semester on leave, a semester abroad or an internship semester.

If you fall under the tuition fee obligation for international students or second tuition fees, you must pay this amount in the same period together with the semester fee. All procedures described in the rest of the text apply to you as well.

IMPORTANT: Students who do not re-register by paying the semester fee and any tuition fees that may be due will be exmatriculated.

The re-registration and payment is no longer done in LSF, but since winter semester 2023/24 by bank transfer.

HFT Stuttgart is successively introducing a new campus management system. After the introduction of the application portal, the "Student Management (STU) is now the second step in the changeover. Here, the complete student data of our university will be mapped, managed, displayed and archived. This results, among other things, in changes in the process from the re-registration for the winter semester 2023/24.

To log in to our new campus portal (https://campus.hft-stuttgart.de), you will need your e-mail access code and e-mail password.

For questions about logging in, please contact the Info and Support Desk at the Information Center.

The semester fee will be paid by bank transfer from winter semester 2023/24. In our new campus portal (student management) under payments you will find your individual fee amount and the bank details for the transfer.

Please be sure to include our cash reference number, the semester (e.g. “20261” for the summer semester or “20262” for the winter semester) and your matriculation number in the payment reference field so that your payment can be allocated quickly and smoothly. The format of the payment reference field for the 2026 summer semester, for example, would be “cash reference number, 20261, matriculation number”. Please refer to the email reminder from the Examination Office for the cash reference number.

As an international student you are liable to pay fees and in addition to the semester fee you have to pay 1500 Euro tuition fees every semester. If you are now exempt from paying due to an exemption and you are still shown the international tuition fee, then we are missing a current, updated residence title or a fictitious certificate (or other certificates) confirming the extension of your exemption. Please contact the appropriate contact person and email your residence title/certificate.

No. The amount to be paid does not have to be from your account. Another person can also make the transfer for you. It is important that you state the cash reference number, the semester (in the format “20261” for the summer semester 2026 or “20262” for the winter semester, for example), and your matriculation number when making the transfer.

As soon as you have transferred the required fees and we have received and booked them, you will also find your new enrollment certificate on the new campus portal under "certificates". Since we receive your payments via the central state treasurer's office (LOK), you must allow at least 3 -5 days for the re-registration and certificate of enrollment from the date of the transfer.

There are two possibilities why you have not been re-registered yet:

1. Possibly the cash reference number was not entered correctly when you made the transfer? We would be happy to check with the Landesoberkasse why your payment could not be booked. To do this, we need a transfer confirmation with exact data. Please contact Michaela Matheis at rueckmeldung(at)hft-stuttgart.de.
2. You have a re-registration block. This has not yet been solved or completed. A re-registartion can only take place when the block has been removed or the obstacle has been solved (see next point!).

You cannot re-register because of impediments. In addition to the payment of the semester fee, other evidence must be provided so that you can re-register for the coming semester. If this does not happen during the re-registration period, you will be threatened with de-registration.

Re-registration suspensions could be:

1. Lack of security briefing: Please complete the training under https://hft-stuttgart.lms.tutool.io/?lang=en. For further questions please contact the appropriate person in your department directly
   (https://www.hft-stuttgart.com/studies/application/start-of-studies).
2. Missing credentials: Please reach out to our colleagues in the Student's Affair Office (general e-mail address studsek(at)hft-stuttgart.de).
3. Other reasons: Please contact Michaele Matheis at rueckmeldung(at)hft-stuttgart.de.

Yes, you must re-register in any case to keep your student status. Re-registration is the only way to ensure your status as a student during the semester abroad, internship semester or semester on leave.

We assume that you will successfully complete your studies this semester. If you do not pass an exam, please contact the examination office immediately (rueckmeldung(at)hft-stuttgart.de), as you are currently blocked from re-registering for the next semester.

• If you de-register within the 1st month after the start of the lecture, you will receive the contribution shares "administration fees" and "composed student body" back.

• Repayments must be applied for via the campus portal. After approval of the refund by the Studierendenwerk, the complete payment will be made by the university. This takes place about one month after the start of the semester.

• The reimbursement of the share of the "Studierendenwerk" must be made directly to the Studierendenwerk within one month after the beginning of the semester. You can also find the necessary form "Antrag auf Rückerstattung des Studierendenwerksbeitrages" in the download area. After approval of the refund, the payment will be made by the university.

Please note the different deadlines and recipients of the application forms mentioned above.

Or it should be proven that a lot of time is invested in the care/raising of a child.

For a fee reduction, a degree of disability of at least 50 percent must be present or, in the case of chronically ill students, it must be proven on the part of the student that he/she requires more time to complete the course of studies, whether due to medical appointments or also due to the fact that the student requires a longer period of study due to his/her disability.
