Enrolling at the University of Hohenheim

Before you enroll, a statutory health insurance company must send a notification of your insurance status to the University of Hohenheim.

This step is not necessary if you are already enrolled at the University of Hohenheim.

You’re insured with a statutory health insurance company (gesetzliche Krankenkasse)? 
Your proof of insurance is transmitted to the University of Hohenheim electronically by your insurance company. For this purpose, please request the "Meldegrund 10 für Uni Hohenheim" from a statutory health insurance company. A chip card/EHIC or written membership certificate cannot be accepted.

You have private health insurance? 
In this case, a statutory health insurance company must send an electronic notification directly to the University of Hohenheim that you are not covered by statutory health insurance. For this purpose, please request the "Meldegrund 10 für Uni Hohenheim" from a statutory health insurance company. A chip card/EHIC or written certificate cannot be accepted.

You have health insurance abroad? 
In this case, a German statutory health insurance company must send an electronic notification directly to the University of Hohenheim that you are not covered by statutory health insurance in Germany. For this purpose, please request the "Meldegrund 10 für Uni Hohenheim" from a German statutory health insurance company. A chip card/EHIC or written certificate cannot be accepted. Note: The German statutory health insurance can only send this notification to the University of Hohenheim if your foreign insurance is recognized. Otherwise you must buy insurance in Germany.

As soon as the electronic notification from your health insurance company has been received, you will get a message in the application portal (on the start page under “My notifications”).

This step is also necessary if you are transferring to a Master’s degree program or if you are changing to a different Bachelor’s degree program! However, in these cases you will not need the details about your health insurance company.

1. Log in to HohCampus with your application account (or your student accont, if you are already studying in Hohenheim).
2. Select “accept university place”/”Studienplatz annehmen” and / or “request enrollment”/”Immatrikulation beantragen”.
3. Fill out all fields required for online enrollment, upload the enrollment documents that are relevant for you (see the checklist attached to the admission letter), and submit the data online.
   This is your first time enrolling at the University of Hohenheim? Then you will need the name of your health insurance company and your health insurance number if you have statutory health insurance.
   If you have already studied in Hohenheim, information about your previous studies is required.

You do not need to send any documents by post or email to the University of Hohenheim!
We may request your original university entrance qualification or bachelor’s degree certificate. If we need to see the originals, then we will send you an email that includes all the information you need on how to proceed.

We must report any and all attempts at fraud using fake or manipulated documents to the police.

Save the pdf document "Master control sheet for enrollment."
This will provide you with written documentation of your online enrollment.

Enrollment requires the timely transfer of the semester fee. 

You also need to transfer the semester fee if you are changing to a Master’s degree program or a different Bachelor’s degree program!

Your application and documents will now be checked. 

It can take up to three weeks for the status of your application to change in the HohCampus application portal to “enrolled.”

Important! If documents for enrollment or health insurance registration are still missing or the semester fee has not been received, the status of your application will change to "Enrollment in progress” / “Immatrikulation in Bearbeitung.” If your application has that status, please check the status of your enrollment in the application portal immediately.

If your status in the HohCampus application portal has changed to “enrolled,” you can download important information on enrollment and activating your Hohenheim user account.
Follow this path in the HohCampus application portal: My Studies | Student Services | Notices / Certificates | General

The activation of your Hohenheim user account is only possible starting on the day after your enrollment.

Be sure to download all information as soon as possible after enrollment – once you start your program, you will no longer be able to log in with your application account!

You will receive your student ID by post after you enroll, and you will get an email with information on when and where you can pick it up.
