When do you have to complete re-enrolment?
HHU gives 01.07. to 15.08.2026 as the re-enrolment period. A late fee of 10 euros applies from 24.08.2026. As of this guide, these dates lie in the past.
The consequences of a missed deadline are explained in Semester fee, deadline and re-enrolment: consequences. The university publishes its dates for the summer semester 2027 separately.
What does the late fee mean for you?
According to the page, nine days lie between the end of the re-enrolment period on 15.08.2026 and the start of the late fee on 24.08.2026. After that, the fee of 10 euros is added. If you want to be sure, transfer the money within the re-enrolment period.

Which deadlines apply at other universities in NRW?
Deadlines and amounts differ between universities. The overview on the data page Semester fees by university (in German) helps with comparisons. A deadline of HHU cannot be transferred to other universities.

Why is the breakdown missing?
The excerpt checked did not list the individual items. Ask the student office for the items before you pay the amount.

Yes, by paying by the end of the re-enrolment period on 15.08.2026. Plan a buffer, because transfers take time.
Is the date of payment or the date of receipt decisive?
The date of receipt is decisive, not the date you sent the money. Keep the proof of payment.
What happens after the late fee?
The page names only the fee. The university clarifies the next steps with the student office. Get in touch as soon as it becomes clear that the deadline cannot be met.
Does the late fee apply to a partial payment?
The page gives no rule on partial payments. Ask in advance before you transfer only part of the amount, because a partial payment does not replace the receipt of the full total.
