Matters relating to study law

Health insurance

If there are any changes in your health insurance, you must inform your health insurance company immediately and send this to Ansbach University of Applied Sciences electronically. Otherwise, you may be denied re-registration or continued studies.

You must also inform your health insurance company if you have been exmatriculated from Ansbach University of Applied Sciences and re-register for the next semester in another degree programme.

Liability insurance

Liability for damages

Ansbach University of Applied Sciences accepts no liability for students, guest students or diploma students for any damage caused. For damages to the property of the university caused by this group of persons (particularly also in laboratories, television studios, sound studios etc.), the person causing the damage must pay the university damages.

An automatic liability insurance does not exist!

Students are therefore strongly advised to take out private liability insurance. Usually students may be covered via their parents’  insurance. In the case of laboratory activities, etc., it may be necessary to clarify with the private liability insurance company whether it covers damage, for example, in the laboratory, television studio, recording studio and, if applicable, damage to borrowed items. Otherwise a special liability insurance should be taken out.

An insurance certificate must also be submitted again if you have been ex-matriculated by Ansbach University of Applied Sciences and are re-enrolling for the next semester, e.g. in another course of study.

What does re-registration mean?
Re-registration means registration for further studies. A new re-registration must be made for each semester and a SEPA mandate for the debit of the student service fee (Studentenwerkbeitrag) must be confirmed; otherwise, you will be ex-matriculated at the end of the semester. From the winter semester 2020/21, 52 € are to be paid.

Period of re-registration
(please notice thetime schedule of the respective semester)
→ Login to MyPRIMUSS
→ Student Affairs
→ Re-registration
→ Confirmation of the SEPA mandate; new creation/ change via "SEPA Mandate".
→ check "I want to re register"
→ Click on the "Re-registration" button.
⇒ The message that you have been re-registered appears.

Who has to re-register?
Every student has to re-register if he/she wants to stay enrolled. The re-registration must also be made if the semester in question is a practical semester or if it is a vacation semester. You must also be enrolled and thus re-registered in the period between the submission of your thesis and the determination of your degree.
If it is still unclear in the re-registration period whether ex-matriculation will take place ex officio before the beginning of the semester (e.g. completion of studies, ex-matriculation under examination law), please re-register as a precaution. If you then do not have to pay any fees, any overpayments will automatically be refunded. Please do not arrange for a return debit to be made to your bank. As a rule, the bank charges fees for this, which are then borne by you.

What is the connection between re-registration and health insurance?
Re-registration for the next semester must be refused if there is no proof of health insurance. Therefore, please note that if you change your health insurance provider, you must present a certificate of the new health insurance company.  

Reimbursement
If the fee is not required (e.g. due to ex-matriculation before the start of the semester) and the fee has already been deducted, it will automatically be refunded to the direct debit account after the start of the semester. Please do not arrange for a return debit to be made to your bank. As a rule, the bank will charge fees, which are then borne by you.

Leave of absence is regulated in the statutes on the enrolment, re-enrolment and de-registration procedure.
If you wish to be released from the obligation to study properly (leave of absence), you must apply for this in due form and time.
 

Form of the application:
The application for leave of absence must be submitted online via myPRIMUSS. The application must state the reason for the leave of absence in accordance with Paragraph 4. Where necessary, the application must contain relevant meaningful evidence; Ansbach University of Applied Sciences may request such evidence if necessary.

Deadlines:
The application for leave of absence must be submitted no later than one month after the beginning of the semester; if the reason for leave of absence occurs after one month and was not foreseeable, the application can be submitted by 25 January for the winter semester or by 10 July for the summer semester. Leave of absence can only be applied for one semester. A subsequent leave of absence for semesters already completed is not possible.

Reasons:
The application for leave of absence is to be approved if there are important reasons that hinder the studies and prevent timely completion. Such reasons include:

• circumstances which entitle a student to protection periods according to the Act for the Protection of Working Mothers (Maternity Protection Act) or entitlement to parental leave as well as periods for the care of a close relative (Home Care Leave Act)
• a medical certificate (possibly from a public health officer) that certifies that the student cannot study properly in the semester in question due to illness
• the student is studying at a university abroad
• the student is doing a voluntary internship
• the student is doing voluntary service

Economic reasons will generally not be recognised.

Duration:
Generally, leave of absence is granted for a maximum of two semesters. Exceptions are periods of maternity leave, nursing leave and parental leave.

Please note that during a leave of absence

• no study or examination achievements can be taken as part of an initial enrolment at the university at which the leave of absence was granted
• you must comply with the deadlines for retaking examinations you have not passed; applications for an extension of the deadline for retaking examinations must be submitted separately from the application for leave of absence
• it is possible to complete academic achievements and take examinations during maternity leave and parental leave

BAföG recipients and other scholarship holders should contact the Studentenwerk or the respective scholarship provider in advance. If child benefit is still granted for the person to be granted leave, the child benefit fund should be consulted before submitting the application.

Foreign students who are not citizens of a member state of the European Union should discuss the legal consequences of a leave of absence with the relevant foreigners’ registration office before applying.
If you have any questions, please message your contact person at the Student Services.

With de-registration, the student status at the university is terminated.

The de-registration regulations are set out in the Bavarian Higher Education Act’s statutes on the enrolment, re-registration and de-registration procedure and the APO.

De-registration upon application:
You can deregister from your studies at the university upon application at any time, even during the current semester.
De-registration is only possible for the future, at the earliest on the day on which the application for de-registration is received by the university.

• The application for de-registration must be submitted online in myPRIMUSS, stating the reason.
• You may have to return your Campus Card or other documents.

De-registration ex officio:
De-registration will be effected automatically if the following reasons apply:

• Payment of fees and contributions due at the time of re-registration is not proven.
• The health insurance certificate required for re-registration is not submitted through the student's own fault.
• A required examination is definitively not passed.
• •Reasons that prevent proper study (e.g. failure to reach ECTS point limits; exceeding the maximum number of examination attempts - see also "All about examinations").
• Misuse of enrolment or re-registration.
• Other reasons that do not permit continued membership of the university (e.g. culpably causing significant damage to the university).

Study and internship abroad
Study abroad

A study visit or a work-related internship abroad is now part of the requirement profile for most management positions. Intercultural competences and language skills that can be used in negotiations are best acquired during a longer stay abroad. In addition to English, a second foreign language is becoming increasingly important for a future professional career.
According to a study by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), employers today place greater value on experience abroad than on a short period of study. Ansbach University of Applied Sciences therefore advises students to take advantage of the opportunities that are already offered during their studies, whether as a study semester at a partner university or as a study-related internship with an international company.
A study semester or year abroad not only broadens the subject horizon with an international component, but also consolidates and expands foreign language skills and contributes to the acquisition of intercultural competences. Last but not least, this serves to improve career prospects. The recognition of examinations taken abroad for studies at home prevents unnecessary extensions of the duration of studies.
Further information on studying abroad and internships abroad can be found on the pages of the International Office.
