Procedures following enrollment
You have now submitted your enrollment documents and are no doubt wondering what happens next and when you will be notified that you have enrolled successfully.
This page will guide you through the next steps. First, however, you need to clarify whether you have applied to the University of Hamburg for the first time or whether you have enrolled or been enrolled previously—this includes enrollment in the Studienkolleg, junior studies, or a pre-semester preparatory course.
Have my documents been received?
How to ensure your application will be received
- Send your documents using the digital enrollment form.
The link to the enrollment portal is provided in your admission letter. - You can only access the form if you log into the enrollment portal with the access data from the online application.
- Complete the form, upload all required documents, and submit the form.
View and edit application documents at a later date
- When you have submitted everything, you will find an overview of your details in the section „My Data.“
- In this section, you can also review the documents you have uploaded and check whether everything is covered and correct. Be aware that we cannot check individual applications in advance for completeness and correctness.
Submit documents at a later date
- If you would like to submit documents at a later date, you may do so in the section „Submit further documents.“
- Also, be aware that documents that require submission within the enrollment period (See checklists, e.g., the complete university entrance qualification) will only be considered if they are submitted on time.
