  3. 3.Application

    Preparation and filling out the application

    Preparation:

    • I use a desktop PC or a laptop. The online application is not suitable for smartphones.
    • I have scanned the necessary documents for the online application.
    • I open the website of the application portal"eCampus":

      eCampus
       
    • I log in again to the application portal "eCampus" with my user name and password. 
    • I click on the menu item"My studies" and then on"Study application".

    Fill out the application:

    • I select my desired degree in the online application.
    • I fill out the online form and upload any relevant supporting documents. If I am unclear, I read the help texts next to the questions. 
    • I confirm that my data is complete and true and submit my application online by clicking on the "Submit Application" button. The online enrollment page opens.

  4. 4.Enrollment

    • I go through the online enrollment process, uploading my portrait photo and providing health insurance information.
    • I complete the enrollment and have my semester fee calculated.
    • My application and application subject status are now set to "Enrollment applied".

  5. 5.Semester fee

    • I transfer the semester fee. 

    Fees are charged for your studies every semester (administrative fee, student union, semester ticket, AStA). You will find the exact amount, the payment deadline and the details for the transfer in the application for enrollment. Further information is also available here: Semesterbeitrag

  6. 6.Enrollment processing

    • As soon as my enrollment has been processed by the Student Secretariat, I will receive an e-mail indicating the change in status of my application. I can then find more detailed information in the application overview in eCampus. (The University of Kassel strongly recommends activating the e-mail notification and logging into the application portal regularly).
    • If my application and application box status changes from "Enrollment applied for" to "Enrollment in progress", my enrollment is incomplete. I can see which documents and information are missing in my application overview in eCampus.
    • If my status changes to "Enrolled", my enrollment is complete.

    What do the different status messages in eCampus mean? You can find explanations under eCampus Status Message.

  7. 7.UniAccount and Co.

    • I receive a welcome email with important data.

    For a successful start to your studies, we will familiarize you with three important terms: Matriculation Number, UniAccount and CampusCard.

      Matriculationnumber
      This is your personal identification number. It is printed on your student ID card (=CampusCard) and is required, for example, for exam registrations or certificates.

      UniAccount
      The UniAccount is your user ID for the various online services of the university, e.g. the WLAN, and is linked to a university e-mail address. After activation, all communication from the university goes through this e-mail address. Please activate your UniAccount promptly.

      CampusCard
      We will send your CampusCard to the address stored in eCampus. It is an important part of your everyday study life at the University of Kassel. It is used as a student ID and semester ticket, as a library card, as an electronic purse for paying in the cafeteria and as a cultural ticket.

    • 8.CampusCard

      • I will receive the CampusCard by mail as soon as I have transferred my semester fee.

      The CampusCard is your student ID card for the entire duration of your studies. It is also library card, cultural ticket, payment card in the canteen, copy card, etc. Further information can be found here: CampusCard

    • 9.Introduction

      • I inform myself on the subpage"Introduction and Start of Studies - Important Dates" .
      • I visit the introductory events in the first week of the semester (before the regular start of lectures) and inform myself about the creation of the timetable. Only then do I create my own timetable. 

      In the introductory events, the central questions about the structure of the study program are answered. Here you will find tips and information about the organization of your studies and the course of your studies. The timetables are drawn up during this time. And you will already get to know your future fellow students and the campus. So: be sure to come!

      Here you can find the semester times of the University of Kassel: Semester- und Lehrveranstaltungszeiten

    • 10.Before study

      • I inform myself on the subpage"Introduction and start of studies - Before the studies" about how I can prepare myself for the studies.
