How does the fee in Halle compare across semesters?
The university breaks its fee down by recipient. The table sets the 2026/27 winter semester against the 2026 summer semester. Both columns come from the same page, so they are directly comparable.
| Item | Winter semester 2026/27 | Summer semester 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Student services organisation | €90.00 | €90.00 |
| Germany semester ticket | €226.80 | €208.80 |
| Student body | €16.50 | €16.50 |
| Administration | not listed | not listed |
| Total | €333.30 | €315.30 |
The difference of €18.00 between the two semesters matches exactly the difference in the semester ticket. The other items stay the same, which shows that the fee changes mainly through the ticket.
When do you have to re-enrol in Halle?
The university gives a separate period for each semester. Neither period includes a year on the page, so the table assigns them the way the semester calendar suggests.
| Semester | Re-enrolment period per page | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Winter semester 2026/27 | 20 June to 31 July | The year follows from the semester: 20 June 2026 to 31 July 2026, page status 20 August 2026 |
| Summer semester 2027 | 1 December to 31 January | The page gives no year. Derived: 1 December 2026 to 31 January 2027 |
Because the page does not state a clear year for either period, check the deadlines yourself before you pay. Proceed as follows:
- Open the university’s re-enrolment page and read the period for your semester.
- Compare the amount with the table above, because the ticket share can change from one semester to the next.
- Transfer the amount within the period and keep the receipt.
- Ask the student administration office if you cannot clearly assign the deadline.
What does a study year in Halle cost?
Assumption: the summer semester 2027 costs the same as the winter semester 2026/27. Then two semesters at €333.30 each come to €666.60. Of this, €453.60 goes to the two semester tickets.
The page does not give an amount for the summer semester 2027. If a different ticket price applies there, the total shifts accordingly. This guide does not make forecasts beyond the published figures, because they cannot be verified.
Why does the fee change between semesters?
The difference between the winter semester 2026/27 and the summer semester 2026 lies entirely in the semester ticket. The student services organisation receives €90.00 in both cases, and the student body €16.50. The table makes it easy to see which item fluctuates.
If you compare the fee with other universities, look at the same items. Not every university breaks down its fee as precisely as Halle, and some name a ticket only indirectly. A comparison of total amounts without a look at the items can therefore be misleading. For more on how ticket offers are classified, see Semester Ticket and Germany Ticket: Student Travel Costs.
What applies during a leave of absence in Halle?
If you take a leave of absence, check whether the fee still applies and in what amount. The university regulates this in its documents. Health insurance has its own rules, which you can read about in Semester Off and Health Insurance: What Applies.
Frequently asked questions
Why is there no administration fee in the table?
The university does not list an administration fee separately. The items shown add up to the total of €333.30, so no further item is expected. If your notice does not match this total, ask.
Does the summer deadline also apply to the winter semester?
No, every semester has its own deadlines. For the winter semester 2026/27, the page gives the period from 20 June to 31 July. For the summer semester 2027, it gives 1 December to 31 January, without a year. Following the semester calendar, that means 1 December 2026 to 31 January 2027, but the year is not confirmed.
What happens if I miss the deadline?
The page does not say anything about this. Contact the student administration office immediately to find out how to proceed if a deadline has already passed. A guess about the consequences would not be reliable here.
Can I plan the fee for the summer semester 2027 already?
The page gives no figure for the summer semester 2027. Plan with the current amount of €333.30 as a guide and check the figure before you pay. That way you are prepared for a deviation without committing yourself.
What you should do now
- Note the re-enrolment period for the coming semester from the university’s page.
- Budget with the amount for the current semester until the new figure is available.
- Pay on time and keep the proof of payment.
- Clarify any uncertainty about years in the dates with the student administration office early.
