Even during a leave of absence semester, semester fees and contributions are due and must be paid on time. Students who have been granted leave of absence for the following reasons are exempt from paying contributions to the StudierendenWERK. 

• Study Abroad / Internship Abroad 
• Internship within Germany (but outside of Berlin) 
• Maternity Leave 
• Voluntary Service 

If you have not yet made a payment for the requested semester, you can see the reduced semester fee within 24 hours after this application has been approved in the respective re-registration. 

If you have already made the payments for the requested semester, we will refund the contribution to the studierendenWERK. Therefore, please provide your bank account details with this application.
