Re-registration

Your username is your HfMDK login. This user name is made up of your matriculation number and the domain "students.hfmdk-frankfurt.de". For example, if your matriculation number is "12345", your full username is"12345@students.hfmdk-frankfurt.de"

Your password is your HfMDK password.

Under "My Studies/My Invoices" you will find an overview of all your invoices. To download your invoice, click on the small symbol on the left-hand side of each invoice.

You can also download a receipt of your paid invoice (e.g. for the tax office).

If no invoice for the upcoming semester appears in CampusWEB, please contact us immediately via studierendensekretariat@orga.hfmdk-frankfurt.de.

Please do not make any payment unless you have received an official invoice.

Possible reasons may include technical issues or registration blocks, for example if you have reached the maximum period of study or are currently enrolled with conditions.
We’ll look into it together and help resolve the issue.

This can occasionally happen. Please only pay one invoice and let us know the invoice number you entered as the payment reference. We will cancel any duplicate invoice(s).

If you notice any errors in your personal details or fee amounts, please contact us.
We will correct the issue, cancel the incorrect invoice, and issue a new one if necessary.

Please note: Issuing a new invoice does not affect the re-registration deadlines, so make sure to inform us of any errors as early as possible.

The breakdown of your invoice is listed directly on the invoice itself.
You can also view the individual items by clicking the icon under "Positions" in the invoice overview in CampusWEB.

Outside of CampusWEB, you can find a detailed overview of the semester fee components under Semester fee and other charges.
 

When making your payment, please make sure to include the invoice number, followed by your last name and first name, e.g.:
"21-005432, Hindemith, Paul"

If you don’t include this information, your re-registration will not be processed automatically, and you will temporarily lose access to various university services (e.g. Asimut, downloading enrollment certificates) until we locate your payment and manually assign it to your account.

• Do not use an invoice number from a previous semester.

• Do not forget to include your name.
  If there’s a typo in the invoice number and no name is given, your payment might be credited to a fellow student by mistake — and not to you.

You can check the status of your payment in CampusWEB.
Please do not send us payment confirmations, unless we specifically request them or you’ve noticed a mistake in your transfer.

Please pay your invoice within the re-registration period. Once we have received your semester fee with the correct payment reference and no re-registration block applies in your case, your re-registration will be processed automatically.

Automatic re-registration only works for one degree program per invoice.
If you are enrolled in more than one program, the others must be re-registered manually.

Please let us know if we missed this.
Once we have updated your status, you will be able to download your enrollment certificate for all degree programs you are enrolled in at our university.

If you have paid your semester fee to Goethe University, we will re-register you manually once their late payment period has ended and they have confirmed your re-registration.

After that, you will be able to download your enrollment certificate.

If you did not receive an invoice, you will not be re-registered automatically, and therefore cannot download your enrollment certificate.
In this case, please contact us as soon as possible at Studierendensekretariat@orga.hfmdk-frankfurt.de.

• Technical error:
  If the issue was caused by a technical problem, we will ask you to send us proof of payment so we can trace your transaction.
  Once your payment has been manually assigned to your account, your enrollment certificate will become available.

• Conditional enrollment / missing documents:
  If your re-registration was blocked due to missing documents (e.g. language certificates or degree certificates), please send them to us by email, as well as proof of payment.
  Once everything has been submitted, we will complete your re-registration. After that, your enrollment certificate will be available.

• Exceeded maximum study duration:
  In this case, you must contact the Examinations Office directly via pruefungsamt@orga.hfmdk-frankfurt.de

You can check whether and when your semester fee has been received:

Log in to CampusWEB and go to "My Studies / My Invoices".
In the invoice overview, you can see the status of your payment.
You can only download your enrollment certificate for the upcoming semester once the status of the corresponding invoice is marked as “Paid”.

If you have made the payment but the invoice still shows “Open” after the deadline, please send us a payment confirmation showing:

• the date of the transfer

• the account holder

• the amount

• and the payment reference

If only part of the amount is missing (e.g. due to transfer fees) and the invoice remains open, please transfer the remaining balance using the same invoice number as the payment reference.

Please note that it can take up to 8 days for your payment to be processed in our system.

As soon as we have received your full payment or manually assigned it to your account, your enrollment certificate will be available for download.

If you wish to take a leave of absence for the upcoming semester, please submit leave of absence application via CampusWEB within the specific deadline.

Applications submitted after the deadline cannot be processed and will be rejected. Exceptions to this rule can be foundhere.

You will retain your student status during your leave of absence. Therefore, you are required to pay the full semester fee, regardless of the reason for your leave.. If you do not pay the semester fee, you risk being compulsorily deregistered.

If you wish to terminate your studies, please submit an application for deregistration via CampusWEB.

If you de-register within the re-registration period, you will not have to pay any semester fees and we will cancel your invoice.

You will need this certificate after your studies for official purposes, such as with government authorities (including proof for pension insurance) or as proof of enrollment periods for other universities.

Here you can find information about refunds of RMV semester ticket fees

Please make sure to pay the full semester fee on time, even if you are eligible for a refund, as the semester ticket is part of a solidarity contribution.

The deadline to submit your refund application to the AStA is one week after the start of the general lecture period at the HfMDK. For applications and further questions, please contact the AStA directly by email:: rmv@asta-hfmdk-frankfurt.de.

Even if you are eligible for a refund, you must transfer the full semester fee.
(Exception: if you are entitled to free transportation under § 228 SGB IX.)

Reducing the payment amount on your own is not permitted and may result in compulsory deregistration due to underpayment.

If you hold a severely disabled ID (Schwerbehindertenausweis) that entitles you to free public transport under § 228 SGB IX, you can be exempted from the semester ticket fee. In this case, please send us an email to studierendensekretariat@orga.hfmdk-frankfurt.de and include a photo or scan of your disability ID. We will then issue a reduced invoice.

Alternatively, you can apply for a refund from the AStA after paying the full amount.
To do so, send your proof to: rmv@asta-hfmdk-frankfurt.de. The deadline for submitting refund applications to the AStA is one week after the official start of the lecture period at HfMDK.

Please email us at  studierendensekretariat@orga.hfmdk-frankfurt.de 

and include your current certificate of enrollment from the other university and roof of payment for the semester fee you already paid there. You will then receive a reduced invoice from us.

At Goethe University, you must first pay the full semester fee, even if you are also enrolled at HfMDK.

You can apply for a refund from Goethe University afterwards by providing proof that you paid the full semester fee at HfMDK as well.

If you're studying L3 in combination with L1, L2, or L5 and are unsure which university you should pay the semester fee to, please get in touch with us — we’ll help you sort it out.

If you are studying L3, you only pay your semester fee with us.

If you are studying L1, L2, or L5, you only pay the semester fee at Goethe University.

If you're studying L3 in combination with L1, L2, or L5 and are unsure which university you should pay the semester fee to, please contact us at studierendensekretariat@orga.hfmdk-frankfurt.de.

Please note that the re-registration deadlines differ at the two universities.
