Enrollment at the university

Have you been offered a place at the university and have already accepted in C@MPUS? Then the next step is your enrollment (matriculation). With your enrollment, you automatically accept your place at the university.

Enrollment at the University of Stuttgart is an exclusively online process completed using the campus management system C@MPUS. Please note that you must enroll before the deadline stated in your letter of admission!

You can enroll by following these steps:

  1. Please submit all the data requested in the C@MPUS campus management system and upload the necessary documents. This is your submission for enrollment.
  2. You must also pay the necessary fees and charges.
  3. In addition, the electronic notification from your health insurance provider must have been sent to, and received by, us (exceptions are e.g. doctoral students and students currently enrolled on a preparatory language course).

We can only compete your enrollment when these steps have been completed.

Enrollment status

You can view your current enrollment status at any time in your C@MPUS account.

Certificate of enrollment

You can download your certificate of enrollment after you have enrolled and activated your student account in C@MPUS. You will receive your ECUS student ID card by post as soon as you have entered a German address in C@MPUS.

The enrollment process in detail

After you have accepted your place, please follow these steps:

  • Upload any missing data by clicking on the "upload data" button.
  • Upload your passport photo and other required documents.
  • Your "enrollment application" is complete when you have entered the relevant data and submitted all the information required. Your enrollment application will be recorded as "received" in your C@MPUS account no later than one day after you have sent the data or, your application has already been approved. There is no paper enrollment application.
  • Please transfer the fees due.
  • Applicants who wish to enroll as doctoral researchers can find more information on the page Enrollment for Doctoral Researchers.

You can enroll as soon as you have accepted your place. The deadline for enrollment is the date specified in the letter of admission. The following applies:

  •  The online enrollment application must be received by the university with the required documents by the deadline specified in the letter of admission. The electronic submission date applies, i.e. the date on which you submitted the data in "upload data".
  • If the application for enrollment is not received within the specified period, the letter of admission becomes invalid. Your place will then be awarded to a lower-ranked applicant. If you cannot meet the deadline for an important reason, please inform the Application, Admission, Enrollment Department so that a deadline extension can be granted in justified, exceptional circumstances. It is not possible to extend the deadline beyond the start of the lecture period.
  • For Master's study programs, the enrollment deadlines are also as stated in the letter of admission. In most cases, this is May 15 for the summer semester and November 15 for the winter semester.

The exact documents you need to upload for your study program are listed in your C@MPUS account. Documents vary according to the study program, here is a general overview:

The following documents can be uploaded directly to C@MPUS:

  • A recent passport photo (approximately 45 x 35 mm) for your student ID card
  • If you are enrolled on a Bachelor's study program (1st semester): Proof that you have completed the study orientation program.
  • For Bachelor's study programs with mandatory pre-study internship: Certificate of recognition for the pre-study internship from the respective internship office at the University of Stuttgart (if already available)
  • Changing your study program in the third semester or higher: Proof of academic counseling for the desired degree program.

Upload the following documents if you are not already enrolled at the University of Stuttgart:

  • Master's study programs: Copy of your initial university degree (if this was not already submitted at the time of admission)
  • If you are changing university:
    o    Proof of previous coursework and graded assessments (Transcript of records and grades) from the issuing university
    o    The deregistration certificate(s) from your previous university/universities detailing the periods of study.

Frequently asked questions

The enrollment deadline is included in your letter of admission which you can find in your personal account in C@MPUS.

You will be enrolled as soon as your data is complete and you have uploaded the missing documents in C@MPUS by the deadline (and thus submitted your "enrollment application"), and when we have received the health insurance notification and the fees have been paid.  The processing time is approximately 14 days.

Some Bachelor of Science study programs call for pre-study internships. Detailed information on how to prove it is published in the application guideline.

The enrollment process usually takes place online. In individual cases, the University may require that the documents be submitted in their original form, or as a certified copy.

Every public sector entity that has an official seal, such as public authorities, is allowed to produce an authorized certification. Certifications from lawyers, associations, banks, health insurance fund, or similar institutions will not be accepted.

An official certification has to include:

1) A certification code which attests that the copy matches the original document.
2) The signature of the attestor
3) An imprint of the official seal  (Official seals usually contain an emblem, a simple writing seal wil not be accepted.)

Additional rules:

  • If the copy consists of several single sheets, it needs to be attested that all sheets belong to the same document. It is sufficient to sign and place the certification code on only one sheet if all sheets are put on top of each other, stapled, and sealed in a way that every sheet contains a part of the official seal.
  • Every single sheet may also be authorized individually. In that case please pay attention that every sheet of the original document contains your name. If not, your name has to be included in the certification code together with an indication of the type of document.
  • If the front and back of a sheet contain a copy with relevant content, the certification code has to refer to both front and back. If not, front and back of the sheet have to be authorized individually.
  • If the original document contains a seal minted in paper this is usually not visible in the copy. In that case the certification code needs to be expanded and refer to the minted seal in the original document.
