1. Enrollment for the semester of application
In order to start your studies at the TU Ilmenau, you must be enrolled (= matriculated) in a degree program.
The enrollment is done via the campus portal. However, there are differences depending on the type of admission you have received.
a) For students with direct admission (with and without obligations):
Log into the campus portal. Go to the application for which you received direct admission. Online enrollment should now be unlocked here.
Click on "Apply for enrollment" and enter all the necessary data in the online form. Then submit the enrollment application online.
Shortly after, you can download a confirmation of your provisional enrollment in the campus portal.
Now contact a statutory health insurance company in Germany and ask them to report the status of your health insurance to the TU Ilmenau (so called "Report M10"). For that you need the sender number H0001836.
Attention: Even if you have taken out a private health insurance, you have to contact a statutory health insurance in order for them to report your status to the TU Ilmenau. It does not matter which provider you contact.
After some time you will receive a PDF document in the campus portal with the request to pay the semester fee. As soon as the document is available, you will be informed about it by e-mail.
Depending on when you enrolled, this may still take a few months. Until then, you are still provisionally enrolled and will receive regular information by mail. Transfer the semester fee as indicated in the PDF with exactly the specified purpose. Otherwise the payment cannot be assigned!
As soon as your health insurance status has been checked successfully and the semester fee has been received by the TU Ilmenau, you will receive an e-mail confirming successful enrollment and information on how to retrieve your enrollment certificate.
This completes your enrollment.
b) For students with an admission with a language condition who wish to enroll in the APC program:
If you do not yet have the appropriate language certificate to enroll in your study program, you may enroll online as a collegiate (APC) student.
Send an e-mail to info@tu-ilmenau-service.de or visit the website of TU Ilmenau Service GmbH to find out about the language courses, tests and dates offered. Afterwards you have to sign a learning agreement with TU Ilmenau Service GmbH. You will need this to be able to enroll. You will receive the agreement only after you have taken the placement test.
Once you have received the learning agreement, log in to the campus portal. Create a new application for the Academic Preparation Course with certificate degree by clicking on "Add Application". Now upload your conditional admission for your desired study program and the booking confirmation of the TU Ilmenau Service GmbH for the language course and submit the application online.
After a check by the Admissions Office, you will receive an e-mail as soon as online enrollment is activated for you.
Then log back into the campus portal, go to the application form for APC studies and click on "Apply for enrollment".
Enter all required data in the online form. Then submit the enrollment application online.
Shortly after, you can download a confirmation of your provisional enrollment in the campus portal.
After some time, you will receive a PDF document in the campus portal with the request to pay the semester fee. As soon as the document is available, you will be informed about it by e-mail. Transfer the semester fee as indicated in the PDF with exactly the specified purpose of use. Otherwise the payment cannot be assigned!
As soon as the semester fee has been received by the TU Ilmenau, you will receive an e-mail confirming successful enrollment and information on how to retrieve your enrollment certificate.
This completes your enrollment.
Note: If you have an admission with conditions and have to prove the language level C1, you can also take a language course somewhere else as long as you receive an accepted language certificate afterwards. You can then send this certificate by e-mail to registration@tu-ilmenau.de . Direct enrollment via the campus portal (see case a) will then be activated for you. Enrollment as an APC student is not possible with this procedure.
c) For students with an admission with condition "Feststellungsprüfung".
The school-leaving certificates from some countries are not equivalent to the GermanAbitur. If this is the case for you, you will be referred to the Thüringer Studienkolleg in Nordhausen. It is an educational institution that prepares foreign applicants for university studies. There you will complete a preparatory course of study, which may last a maximum of 2 semesters (under certain conditions, each semester may be repeated once). The preparatory studies are concluded with the assessment test, which consists of written and oral examinations.
If you have passedthis assessment test, you will receive a corresponding confirmation. You will then send this confirmation bye-mail to the enrollment office.
Afterwards, the online enrollment will be activated for you directly in your study program.
All further steps are the same as described under a).
d) For incoming exchange/double students:
Please contact our incoming coordination via incoming@tu-ilmenau.de.
2. Enrollment for a later semester
Sometimes it happens that you do not manage to enroll directly for the semester of the corresponding application period. At the TU Ilmenau you have the possibility to do this at a later semester, because the admissions are valid for several semesters (see section "Validity").
If you still have access data from the former applicant portal of the TU Ilmenau, you have to register at the campus portal. Your old access data from the previous portal are no longer valid.
Log in at the campus portal and start a so-called "short application".
Don't worry, this is not a real application but rather a re-entry of data into the system. Of course, your admission remains valid.
Click on "Add application" and create an application for the study program for which you have a valid admission in the corresponding start semester.
Now simply upload your admission and a few other documents and submit the application digitally.
The enrollment office will now check your eligibility to enroll in the program. If everything is correct, online enrollment in the desired degree program will be activated.
Then continue as described under a).
Important note: You will only have access to the courses once you have completed your enrollment.
