Prioritization: Why is it important that I put my applications in a desired order?

Goal: To get a study place in your desired study program!
Hochschulstart determines in the Coordination phase the best possible study offer for you! The process is based on your "wish list", on your applications that are at the top of the list.
With the start of the coordination rules - approx. 1 week after the application deadline (23.07.2025) - the procedure decides for you and accepts the highest offer for you. Lower ranked applications for which you receive an offer will then be dropped.
Make sure you prioritize by 22.07.2025 or check whether this still corresponds to your wishes .
Tip: Think carefully about what you would like to study and in what order, and place your favorite in 1st place. You can change the prioritization at any time until the end of the procedure.
If you do not prioritize, your applications will remain in the order in which they were submitted.
How and where to prioritize: save under "My applications" below the table "Submitted applications", link "Prioritize applications".

What does my application status mean?

"received": Your application has been sent to HFT and is now being processed. This may take some time. For example, the review may not take place until after the application deadline.

"valid": Your application has been reviewed and will participate in the award process in the coordination phase.

"provisionally excluded": important information or documents to be submitted are missing or incorrect. If this is not corrected within the specified period, application does not participate in the procedure. Status then "excluded

What do I have to consider if I was already enrolled at another university?

If you are enrolled in an identical or equivalent degree programme, it is no longer possible to apply for the 1st semester.
If you have lost the right to take an examination in an identical or equivalent course of study at a University of Applied Sciences, a new enrolment in this course of study is no longer possible.
The certificate of exmatriculation from the previous university must be submitted at the latest when enrolling.

What is the waiting time and how is it calculated?

The waiting period is calculated according to the number of half-years that have elapsed since obtaining the university entrance qualification. If you were already enrolled at one or more universities in Germany, these semesters will be deducted from your waiting period.

The maximum creditable waiting period is 7 semesters.

Within the waiting period quota of 10%, the study places are always allocated on a current basis, i.e. the applicant with the longest waiting period receives the first study place and so on. The waiting period of the applicant who received the last available study place is the marginal rank. In case of equal rank, the second criterion is the Abitur grade, the third criterion is whether one has completed a service and then the lot.
