The application and the uploaded documents will be checked by the University of Siegen. Changes to the uploads and further uploads are only possible after the review. You will be informed by email about the next steps.
If documents are to be uploaded in stages, this can be done after the upload by clicking on the "Temporarily save changes" button. The documents will not yet be checked and the application will not yet be processed!
Once all the required documents have been submitted in full and the health insurance company has confirmed your insurance status electronically, you will receive a welcome email in the next few days with important information and a request to pay the semester fee. Please transfer the amount immediately, as enrollment cannot be completed until your payment has been received by the University of Siegen.
If any documents are missing or incorrect, you will be asked by email to upload the missing or correct documents. In individual cases, the Registrar's Office will request certified copies or original documents.
Once you have enrolled (paid the semester fee), you will receive an email with information about your student email address, Germany semester ticket, student ID and university library card. From September (for the winter semester) or from March (for the summer semester) you will receive an activation code for your Deutschland-Semesterticket from the VWS (Verkehrsgemeinschaft Westfalen Süd) to your student e-mail address, which must be activated in advance.
