In order to continue your studies in the following semester, you need to register during the current semester before the registration deadline, which is always four weeks before the end of the lecture period (see the schedule of events and deadlines).  

The current semester fee is    223.60 Euros.

Registration period for the summer semester 2012:
January, 9th 2012 to February, 3rd 2012

If you fail to register by the deadline, then you have until the end of the grace period to pay the semester fee. In this case you need to pay an additional fee of 15 Euros. If you fail to register by the end of the grace period, then you will be automatically expelled from the university. 

Bank Transfer at the Bank 

• You can print out a remittance slip at the computers in the main building, room 0.27 as of a week before the beginning of the registration period (this slip is already filled out with the appropriate BTU account information) 
OR 
• You can fill out a remittance slip yourself using the following information:
  Remittee: BTU Cottbus
  Bank: Sparkasse Spree-Neiße
  Bank Routing Number: 18050000
  Account Number: 3111103020
  Reference Number/Reason for Transfer: Write the number 12124 followed by your enrolment number. 
  IBAN: DE  67180500003111103020
  BIC-Code: WELADED1CBN 

You can find all of the necessary information for your online transfer at the  Online Portal under Study > Registration Information. 

It takes at least four days for your payment to be booked by BTU! When registering, only the date of booking is relevant and not the date on which you initiated the payment. If the payment deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or official holiday, then the deadline is not extended until the next workday (§ 31, Abs. 3, S. 2 Brandenburg administrative proceedings law). 

Your registration for the following semester is complete when your payment is booked by BTU. You may then print a certificate of enrolment for the following semester and get a new validation stamp printed on your chip card!  

If you would like to request a leave of absence or change of degree programme, then you should do this during the registration period. If you change your health insurance company, then it suffices for you to just hand in a certificate from your new health insurance company to the registrar's office.
