During the Studies

Hand in your Learning Agreement within 4 weeks after the start of lecture period. Make sure to include all courses you registered for. If your initial study plan has already been confirmed by your home university before your studies in Siegen, document all changes (added or deleted courses) in the section "During Mobility".

To complete a course you must take an exam. Depending on the faculty or department, course and credit points to be achieved, different forms of examination are offered, e.g. exams, papers, presentations, etc. Talk to your teacher or professor or refer to your examination office if you have any doubts or questions about which exam to take or when the exam will take place.

Exchange students of the School of Arts and Humanities use the form provided by the Exmamination Office of Faculty I (Registration for Exams in unisono-Courses - Non-degree) to register for exams.

Exchange students of the School of Economic Disciplines use the form provided by the Examination Office of Faculty III (Registration for Non-Degree Students).

Exchange students of the School of Education, Architecture and the Arts and the School of Science and Technology need to register their exams at their examination office in due time. 

If you plan to extend your studies abroad at Siegen University, please contact us in good time. If an extension is possible, we will need a written confirmation from your home university that you may stay longer than originally planned. Please note that a student exchange is limited to a maximium of two semesters of stay.

Remember to apply for an extension of your visa in due time and, if applicable, renew or extend your lease, insurance policies and other contracts accordingly.

After the end of the lecture period an email is sent to your student account for re-registration (Rückmeldung). The email includes information on transfer of the semester fee and payment deadline. By transferring the semester fee you re-register as student of the University of Siegen and thus register for your second semester of exchange.

Re-Registration Deadlines:

» winter semester: 3. September
» summer semester: 3. March 

Once you pay your semester fee, your USiCard will be reactivated.

Students who stay only one semester do not need to transfer the semester fee for a second semester!
