The application period (including a two week grace period) ended on March 14th, 2015.
Now we only accept applications only in case of the following exceptions:

*If you are newly enrolled in SoSe 15 (e.g. students in the first semester at Humbolt or first semester Master) please apply within six weeks after your enrolment.

*In case of reasons that you are not responsible for (e.g. due to illness etc.). Sometimes it is necessary to enclose a proof with your application (e.g. doctor’s statement).

If you are unsure if one of the above applies to you or if/how you can prove either please do contact us personally or per telephone during our opening hours.
Late applications without any information about the reasons for the delay will be sent back.

Due to the academic holidays over christmas, the university will be closed from December 20th to January 5th.

The Semesterticketbüro will also be closed during this time.

At the moment, we are finishing our application process. On the 11th or 12th of December, we will send you a letter regarding your subsidy. Depending on the postal service, these letters should reach you during the week from 15th to 20th of December.

If you have selected to have your subsidy booked to your bank account, please review the bank account information on the letter. Wrong IBANs or BICs cause delays for everyone! If you wish to change the bank account information, please contact us before December 20th!

Picking up the subsidy in cash (if that’s what you specified on your application) will be possible from approximately the 5th of January 2015 onwards.

Students who have freshly enrolled this semester or whose application was late for other reasons may have to wait until late January to receive a letter as we are still working on their applications.

Students at the Kunsthochschule Weißensee will receive their letters in mid-january.

Since March 2014 your elected student representatives are negotiating with the public transport companies of Berlin and Brandenburg (Verkehrsbetriebe Berlin Brandenburg—VBB) about the new agreement regarding the ticket from summer semester 2015 onwards. You will have the final say about in a ballot. Read more in German.
