Disenrollment

The disenrollment will end your enrollment at Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg (OVGU).

 

The request is made via the myOVGU portal. Instructions for applying for disenrollment can be found here. Before you apply for disenrollment, please ensure that you have provided your current postal address in Student Services in your myOVGU account and if necessary, amend it.

 

As a general rule, it is not necessary to apply for disenrollment in the following cases:

-           Changing programs within OVGU

-           Transitioning from a Bachelor’s program to a Master's program at OVGU

-           Ending a course of studies within a parallel program at OVGU

 

You can apply for disenrollment as of today's date or until the end of the current semester. It is only possible to apply for retrospective disenrollment if you have passed a final examination.

 

Please see the Enrollment Regulations of OVGU for more information.

 

Final survey 

Please provide brief, anonymous feedback on your course of studies. Only in this way can we continue to improve the quality of our programs. The survey will take approx. 5 minutes to complete. It can be accessed on the following link: https://evaluation.ovgu.de/evasys/online.php?p=final.

Many thanks for your support.

 

Please note the following information regarding your disenrollment:

 -          Once your application for disenrollment has been processed, you will immediately be able to download your certificate of disenrollment incl. certificate for German Federal Pension Insurance (Deutsche Rentenversicherung) in your myOVGU portal, however only for a maximum of 6 months after the date of disenrollment. These documents are valid without a signature or stamp. The confirmation of disenrollment provides proof of the time you have spent studying and can be submitted by you to the authorities/universities/administrative offices/health insurance providers if needed. As a rule, the certificate for the purposes of statutory pension insurance needs only to be submitted to the pension scheme in Germany following a written request. Please keep both documents in a safe place. Fees may be charged for issuing additional copies. The reason for your disenrollment will not be shown on your certificate of disenrollment.
