Enrollment at the Registrar's Office

As a degree-seeking or non degree-seeking doctoral student at the University of Regensburg, it is possible to enroll as a student and thus acquire student status. Your acceptance as a doctoral candidate by the supervisor and by the faculty is the basic prerequisite. 

The enrollment process is not compulsory unless your faculty, scholarship provider, or health insurance contract requires it, you live in a student dormitory or you have any other enrollment condition. If you must be enrolled, you should inform yourself in advance about the necessary documents you will need for enrollment.

Through the enrollment as a student at the Registrar's Office you will receive a student ID card and student status. The enrollment is highly recommended. If you enroll as a student at the Registrar's Office, the following applies to you:

• Your student ID functions as a bus ticket (RVV)
• You pay the student prices in the cafeteria as well as for the sport center at UR
• You get discounted admission at some museums, swimming pools etc.

Enrollment is possible both for doctoral candidates who complete their entire degree at the University of Regensburg and for doctoral candidates from other universities and colleges who come to the UR for a short research stay. Please note that the application process for the enrollment can differ, depending on if you pursue a degree at the UR or not.
