When do you have to complete re-enrolment?
The university gives the period from 01.06. to 15.08. for re-enrolment. As of this guide, this period lies in the past. Anyone who has not paid should contact the student office immediately to clarify the next steps.
According to the page, a late fee of 10 euros applies to late payment. The general consequences of a missed deadline are explained in Semester fee, deadline and re-enrolment: consequences.
What does the amount cost per month?
Assumption: a semester has six months and you pay the total once. Then this comes to about 32.47 euros per month (194.80 euros divided by six). Most of it goes to the student services organisation with 17.97 euros per month (107.80 divided by six).
This calculation shows the burden on your budget, not the binding total. The payment notice remains decisive. How to plan your total study costs is explained in Budgetplanung im Studium (in German).
What does the late fee mean for you?
The late fee of 10 euros is a fixed amount that the university charges for late payment. It is added to the payment and does not change the deadline. If you miss the date of 15.08., clarify at once whether the payment is still accepted.

According to the university page, it is 194.80 euros in total. The figure comes from a page dated 23.04.2026 and was accessed in October 2026.

No. The semester fee goes to the university and its partner organisations. Health insurance is paid separately to your health insurer.

The university sets the deadline. If you have problems, ask the student office directly before you postpone the payment.
What happens if I am on a leave of absence?
The university decides whether a fee is due for a leave of absence. Clarify this before re-enrolment so that you do not miss any deadlines.
Mix-ups to avoid
Several payments come up during your studies and are easily confused. The semester fee is a payment to the university. Tuition fees are a different category and only apply to certain courses or students. Health insurance and long-term care contributions are paid separately, even if they fall due in the same month.
For Tübingen this means that the 194.80 euros of the university are one item in your monthly plan. Compare the total with your payment notice, not with other contributions.
