Enrolling at the University of Stuttgart

Sign on to the Campus Management System C@MPUS. After having accepted your study place, please continue as follows:

• Fill in the blank fields with your data.
• Upload your passport photo and the other specified documents.
• Transfer your tuition fee payments.
• Print the application for enrollment, sign it, attach any still missing documentation and mail the package to the Application, Admission, Enrollment Department so that we receive it by the deadline stated in your letter of acceptance.
• International applicants: Please send all documents, that can't be uploaded, by post to the Application, Admission, Enrollment Department. If this is not possible, in exceptional cases the documents can be submitted as a scan (PDF) via the contact form (please specify "enrollment" as the subject in the contact form). In this case, you must then submit the required certified copies immediately after arriving.
• Applicants who want to enroll for their doctoral studies program: please see detailed information on the page for doctoral student enrollment.

A detailed step-by-step pdf-format enrollment guide is also available for download here: How To C@MPUS - Enrollment Process.

The enrollment countdown begins from the date of your acceptance and ends on the date indicated in your Letter of Acceptance. Please be sure to observe the following:  

• We must have received the application for enrollment with the required documentation by the deadline stated in your Letter of Acceptance (the date of receipt by the Application, Admission, Enrollment Department is decisive, not the postmarked date).
• If we do not receive the application for enrollment by the stated deadline, the Letter of Acceptance will be void. The study place will be allotted to the next-highest ranked applicant. You must inform the Application, Admission, Enrollment Department if for some important reason you think you will miss the deadline so that we can assign you an alternate date. This will only in justified exceptional cases be possible and only before the start of classes!
• You can have a third party complete the enrollment process on your behalf with your written authorization.
• Enrollment deadlines as stipulated in the Letters of Acceptance for Master’s programs must also be observed. In most cases, the deadlines will be May 15 for the spring semester and November 15 for the fall semester.
