Significant improvements in semester fee exemptions and refunds
In cooperation with the university and the student union in particular, we were able to achieve significant improvements in the area of contribution exemptions and refunds.
We have pushed back the deadline for fee exemptions by one month. Together with the later end of the re-registration period, students who are entitled to a partial or full exemption now have one and a half month more time to submit their application. It is also important that we have been able to reorganize the administrative processes with the other parties mentioned above in such a way that we no longer have to make a hidden advance refund, but can implement a genuine exemption from the obligation to pay contributions (= exemption from the obligation to pay).
We also have included other cases in the area of exemptions where the situation is clear and/or there is a legal obligation to avoid payments, e.g. with regard to semester tickets for people who are demonstrably unable to use public transport due to a recognized severe disability, or for so-called double degrees and trinationals. In addition, students with a recognized severe disability and a token covering at least 15 weeks of the semester in question can be exempted. In the latter case, the possibility of subsequent reimbursement remains even if the deadline for exemption is missed.
We are particularly pleased that we will also be able to offer to treat an early leave of absence like an exemption from the contribution, starting from the re-registration period January 2024. This saves everyone involved a lot of time and effort.
