End of Studies

Transcript of Records 

Request for De-Registration

At the end of your studies you have to de-enrol and thus de-register with the University of Siegen. Complete the request for de-registration (Antrag auf Exmatrikulation) available on Formularcenter and send it via email to the department STARTING. As soon as the de-enrollment is done, you will get an email telling you that you can download the confirmation on unisono.
If you have not yet reached the end of the semester, you can also have the semester fee refunded. If you do not exmatriculate yourself, this will happen automatically after some time.

You need a confirmation of de-registration, for instance, if you plan to study at another (German) university. 

Alumniverbund

Once you complete your studies at the University of Siegen you are an alumni of the Unviersity of Siegen. This allows you to join the network Alumniverbund and stay in touch with other alumni and students of the University of Siegen. The Alumniverbund is delighted to have you join them and share your experience and academic and professional career. Further Information
