Re-registration means the payment of the semester fee. Only the payment of the semester fee secures the right to continue studying. Payment must always be made at the beginning of January or July. The semester fee consists of the student union fee, the administrative fee and the fee for the student body. This contribution must be paid for each semester in which you are enrolled at the university, i.e. also during a semester of vacation, a semester abroad or an internship semester.
Students who wish to continue their studies in the coming semester must re-register within the re-registration period by paying the semester fee.
Students who fall under the new tuition fee obligation for international students or second tuition fees must pay this amount in the same period together with the above-mentioned semester fee. All the procedures described in the rest of the text apply to you as well.
Re-registration and payment is done in LSF under "My Functions"→ Study Administration" → "Pay and Re-register". Before you re-register, please be sure to read the FAQs on re-registration (see below).
You will need your email access ID and email password to log in. Since payment will be made via SEPA, only enter a checking account where you are the account holder. Other accounts will not be accepted. 14 days after you have registered online, the money will be debited from your current account. In case of a late payment, the total amount will be increased by a late payment surcharge of 19,00 Euro.
If your account does not have sufficient funds when the semester fees are debited, the bank will refuse the payment. You will have to pay the bank charges resulting from this return debit to your bank, as well as a further administrative fee of 19.00 Euro. Once you have paid the fee, you can use theonline functions in LSF to print out an updated certificate of enrollment or other certificates for the new semester. You can overwrite (validate) the imprint on your student ID card at the validation terminal in Building 1, 1st floor. If you have any questions regarding the login, please contact theInfo and Support Desk at the Information Center.

Note on the blocking of re-registration due to lack of safety instruction
At the beginning of your studies, it is mandatory that you attend a general safety briefing. At the end of the first year of study (and further at intervals of one year each thereafter), you will be required to refresh your knowledge and understanding regarding safety-related topics. You will receive an e-mail with a request to answer questions on the contents of the safety instruction as part of an online test. Only if you pass the safety test can you re-register for the next semester, i.e. continue your studies as scheduled.
If you have any questions in this regard, please contact only the security officer of your faculty or the person indicated in the notification letter. The Student Secretariat as well as the Examination Office cannot give you any further information in this regard.
