Ending Your Studies / Deregistration

If you no longer want to continue your studies at the TUHH you will need to apply for deregistration. You will find the application form here. Please fill it out in full, sign it and send it to the admissions office.

Please note that applications for exmatriculation at a future date, coming into effect at the end of the semester, can be submitted and processed one month before the end of the semester at the earliest.

If you are planning to switch to another university, do not deregister with us until you have received admission from them. You do not need to deregister here to apply to study elsewhere. As a rule you will only need to submit your student enrollment verification (Immatrikulationsbescheinigung).

In the following instances you are entitled to deregister for a limited period and reregister at a later date:

• Military or alternative civilian service
• Maternity / Paternity leave
• Study abroad

If you have successfully completed your studies or have conclusively failed an examination, you will be deregistered automatically and do not need to submit the application yourself.
