Reimbursement of the semester contribution in case of social hardship<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you are in a financial emergency and cannot pay the semester fee, you have the option of applying for a refund due to social hardship. Applications are processed by the Social Committee of the Student Parliament. In the application, you must enclose proof of your financial situation, in particular your income. There is no entitlement to approval of the application. If approved, the entire semester fee will be paid from the student body’s hardship fund. Your semester ticket therefore remains valid and can be used in full! You can find more information about the semester ticket here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you submit the application up to two weeks before the end of the re-registration period and have not already re-registered for the next semester, the re-registration can be accepted in the event of approval without you having to pay the semester fee first. If you have already re-registered or are newly enrolled, the fee already paid will be refunded in the event of approval.<\/p>\n

If your application is approved, the student body will re-register you at RWTH. You do not have to pay the semester fee yourself.<\/p>\n

The application must be received by us no later than two weeks before the end of the re-registration period (winter semester: 15.02. and summer semester: 15.08., 23:59 in each case)<\/strong> so that the re-registration can still be carried out within the re-registration period! If the deadline has already passed, you will have to pay the fee yourself and can only apply for a refund in case of social hardship. If you have not been informed of your successful re-registration by the AStA five working days before the end of the re-registration deadline, please re-register yourself. You will then receive a refund.<\/p>\n

Example: Reimbursement of the semester fee in the summer semester: Submit application by 15.02. at 23:59 at the latest<\/p>\n
