Evaluation fee (foreign educational certificates)

Foreign educational certificates are checked and evaluated. Therefore, you will receive a request to pay the evaluation fee after receipt of your online application. After receipt of the payment, your educational certificates will be evaluated.

Applicants who have already been enrolled at another university must enclose the following certificates with their application in addition to the above-mentioned documents:

•     Certificate of exmatriculation from the previously attended university or current certificate of enrollment.
•     Certificate of academic and examination achievements (including failed examinations)
•     Clearance certificate ("certificate that the student is still entitled to take examinations in the current course of study") from the university(ies) attended to date

All applicants and students have to prove to the university that they are insured in a statutory health insurance or that they are exempt from compulsory insurance or that they are not subject to compulsory insurance. The legal basis for this is § 199 a of the 5th Social Security Code (SGB V).

Proof must be provided of statutory health insurance using the digital student notification procedure (SMV). Notifications in paper form can no longer be accepted!

Each student applicant must contact the relevant health insurance company before enrolling. The chosen health insurance company must be requested to send the insurance confirmation electronically to RPTU via the SMV.

A separate RPTU dispatch number is required for communication with health insurance companies. This is H0000543.

As a general rule, no enrollment without reporting insurance status!

The first report of the RPTU to the health insurance company is made after enrollment. For de-registration, the final notification is made.

External information on health insurance for students, possible individual additional contributions, comparison portal can be found here.
