Refund of Semester Fees and Tuition Fees
When can semester fees and tuition fees be refunded?
Paid semester fees and tuition fees can only be refunded if the following conditions of the Contribution statutes of the Munich Student Union and the the University Tuition Fees and Charges Statutes are met:
- Dual enrollment/Parallel studies: If you have paid dues twice at two universities, the refund can be made by the university at which you are not required to pay dues.
- Disenrollment:
- Deregistration at the end of a semester and tuition fees already paid for the following semester
- Deregistration after the start of the semester, effective within five weeks of the start of lectures: Please submit an application for deregistration on a specific date. You can find the application on TUMonline. Further information can also be found under Withdrawal from Studies.
- In both cases of deregistration, if you have a StudentCard (plastic card), a refund is only possible if it is invalidated by the university no later than five weeks after the start of lectures. Therefore, please return it to our Service Desk in good time or send it by registered mail to TUM CST Contributions and Scholarships, Arcisstraße 21, 80333 Munich, or invalidate it at a validation machine within the deadline after deregistration.
If you only have a digital student card, it will automatically become invalid upon deregistration.
The refund application can be downloaded from TUMonline under Semester Fees.
When can fees no longer be refunded?
- If you are enrolled longer than five weeks after the start of lectures, you will not be entitled to a refund.
- If your validated StudentCard is not returned on time, the fees will not be refunded.
