Reimbursement & support fund
There are two different ways to be exempted from the semester ticket: The refund and the hardship regulation. In the case of a refund, the ticket is returned. The fee is refunded, but you can no longer use the ticket.
For students who fall under the hardship regulation, the student body pays the semester ticket fee. They can then continue to use the semester ticket.
It is important that you first transfer the full semester fee so that you can be enrolled. Afterwards, you may be reimbursed for the semester ticket fee.
Refund
You can find the rules for refunds in §7 and §8 of the "Contribution statutes of the student body". You can have your semester ticket fee refunded if you are on official leave of absence from your studies, if you have to spend a semester abroad, a study period outside the semester ticket collection area or if you are entitled to a refund due to a disability.
You can bring your Refund application, the necessary certificates/evidence and proof of payment of the semester fee to the AStA information office, send them by post, send them by e-mail to info@asta.uni-kiel.de or from now on also use our new Online application. The application for the respective semester must be submitted by 30.04. (summer semester) or 31.10. (winter semester). In the case of exmatriculation, the application can be submitted by 28.02. (winter semester) or 31.08. (summer semester), provided that the exmatriculation took place in the first month of the semester (October/April) at the latest.
If you use the state-wide semester ticket as a paper ticket, please also send this in by post or bring it by.
If you have any questions, you can reach us via e-mail to info@asta.uni-kiel.de.
Since the summer semester 2020, we no longer require the CAU Card for refunds.
From now on: Simply fill out the "Application for refund of the Semesterticket fee" online!
Support fund
Applications for support (formerly hardship cases) are processed by the commission for the financial support fund, which was elected by the student parliament. The regulations for the support fund, on the basis of which the AStA processes the applications, can be found starting at §9 of the "Contribution statutes of the student body". Submit a complete application, i.e. with all necessary evidence (e.g. copy of bank statement, rental agreement, employment contract, etc.).
You can bring your application for support and the necessary certificates/evidence to the AStA information office, send it by post or send it digitally to unterstuetzungsfond@asta.uni-kiel.de Applications for support can be submitted until 31.10. (for the winter semester) or 30.04. (for the summer semester). If you have any further questions, you can also contact us via this e-mail address.
