We will automatically refund your semester fee for the coming semester.

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.

When you apply for the exmatriculation, you loose your student status by the end of the semester. The processing takes 2-3 days. After that, we will provide you with your confirmation of exmatriculation online via JOGU-StINe.

The latest application date is the last day of the semester:
Summer semester: 30.09.
Winter semester: 31.03.
Together with the exmatriculation certificate you will receive a confirmation of enrollment times. You will need this in order to prove your periods of study to the pension insurance.
If you have already re-registered for the next semester, you will also need to apply for a refund.
If your plans change, you can withdraw your de-registration until the last day of the semester, which for the summer semester 2021 is 30.09.2021.
In a few cases, you may need to leave the university quickly.
You only need the exmatriculation with immediate effect if you want to apply for support benefits from the employment agency. In this case, the start of benefit receipt depends on the date on which you were exmatriculated.
The de-registration with immediate effect
- cannot be withdrawn

- may affect other positions (e.g. health insurance)
- does not terminate an existing examination right relationship

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.
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 From now on, you will no longer be able to access the digital ticket and the paper ticket is also no longer valid.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.
