After arrival you have to register as a student at the Fachhochschule. The following steps have to be taken: pay the social contribution(this is not a study fee) at a bank and collect the receipt (1). For Koblenz it costs 101,20 Euro, for H�hr-Grenzhausen 61,75 Euro and 175,70 Euro for Remagen.

Then you need the (2) health-insurance certificate, which you get from a local health insurance company. The nearest location is at the FH Campus Oberwerth, building "A". There you hand in either the E 128 form (which is available only for European citizens) or a private insurance certificate from your home country. If your insurance is not adequate you have to take out a German insurance.  Then fill in the matriculation form (3).

With the (1) social contribution receipt, (2) the health insurance certificate and (3) filled in matriculation form (which you get either from Studierendensekretariat, Auslandsamt or download it from the Internet) you are ready to register at the Studierendensekretariat, Rheinau 3-4, Oberwerth, building A, 1st floor, opposite Mensa (Restaurant).
