Even if you have already accepted your place. To do so, send us a short informal e-mail to studsek@uni-mainz.de. Be sure to include your application number and your full name.
A lot can happen before you start your first semester. If you are already enrolled, you can still waive your place until the last Friday before the start of lectures.

Semesterticket and exmatriculation with immediate effect
With your exmatriculation with immediate effect, your semester ticket also loses its validity. From now on, you will no longer be able to access the digital ticket and the paper ticket is also no longer valid. We cannot refund the unused period of the semester ticket until the end of the semester.
In some cases, we may exmatriculate you. Ex officio exmatriculation usually occurs when:
- you have not re-registered
- you have completed your studies
- you have definitively failed an examination
- your temporary enrollment ends
- your course of studies or the examination regulations of your course of studies are not continued
- documents are still missing for your re-registration
If we de-register you automatically, we will upload the exmatriculation notice in JOGU-StINe. In addition, we will send you an e-mail. In your notice you will find all information about the reason for exmatriculation.
We will also explain how you can object to the de-registration in the notice.
If the deadline for objections has expired, we will send you a certificate of de-registration online. Together with the certificate of exmatriculation, you will receive a certificate of study periods. You will need this to prove your periods of study to the pension insurance.
As long as you still have access to JOGU-StINe, you can download the exmatriculation certificate again under "Service" > "My Documents" (approx. 6 months after exmatriculation).
If you no longer have access to your exmatriculation certificates already issued by JGU or if you do not have the exmatriculation certificate (anymore), please submit an informal application by mail (studsek@uni-mainz.de) or by post to the Student Services for the issuance/provision of an exmatriculation certificate and enclose a copy/scan of your ID card.
