Exemption from Payment of the Semester Fee and Reimbursement

The semester fee is a solidary contribution to the financing of social support services of Studentenwerk Leipzig that is independent on the actual use of the services by any enrolled students of our universities and academies. Further information on the solidarity principle can be found on our webpage The Principle of Solidarity.

On application and given certain requirements, students are eligible for exemption from payment of the semester fee, reimbursement of the semester fee in case of disenrollment/waiver of admission to university, or reimbursement of the MDV semester ticket fee on a pro-rata basis. There is also a special regulation concerning the semester ticket for severely disabled students.
