De-registration
The status as a student member of the university will, according to § 22 of the Saxony Higher Education Act, expire in the moment of the de-registration. For instance, the de-registration will be executed officially after passing the course of study successfully or after finally failed exams. Furthermore, a de-registration can be performed upon application (e.g. abort of studies or change of university) by handing in the application form for de-registration (German form: Antrag auf Exmatrikulation) to the Student Service.
In general, the de-registration is effective by the end of the corresponding term. Upon application the de-registration can be effective earlier. The earliest possible date is the inbox date. There is no possibility for a retroactive de-registration. The application can happen by letter, email or personally in Student Service.
The de-registration certificate will be sent automatically to your address in the SBservice. If you want to de-register during the semester you could be eligible for a reimbursement of the semester ticket. Please contact the student's council.
The Studentenwerk Chemnitz-Zwickau offers you the possibility to apply for a reimbursement up to 30 days after beginning of the term. Please find more information on the website of Studentenwerk Chemnitz-Zwickau.

If you have used the payment function on the card (e.g. meals in the cafeteria), please ensure that you have used up all the credit balance on the card by the date of de-registration. Alternatively, you can have your remaining credit balance paid out at the cash desks of the cafeterias at Reichenhainer Str. 55 or Straße der Nationen 62 as well as at the cash desk Mensa Reichenhainer Str. 55.
The payment function can no longer be used after the de-registration date.
