Refund
Semester ticket refund
In principle, all students of the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences are obliged to purchase the semester ticket. Under certain circumstances, however, you can have the semester ticket fee that you have already paid refunded (see reasons below). Please note, however, that the transfer of the semester fee is mandatory for your re-registration and thus enrollment. Thus, the applications for reimbursement must be made after the semester fee has been transferred and before the respective semester and in time for the deadline, otherwise the amount cannot be reimbursed.

Reasons for refund
Since the Semesterticket is based on a solidarity model, a refund of the fee is only possible under the following circumstances:
120 days not in Lower Saxony/Bremen
You are outside the area of validity of the national semester ticket for at least 120 days at a time during the semester (approx. 4 months) due to an internship or a semester abroad as a result of your studies.
Proof: Proof of internship or proof of semester abroad (The following data must be clearly recognizable in the proof and match the application: Name and surname of the applicant, location of the internship or semester abroad, connection to studies, period of absence with exact date).
Vacation semester
You take a semester off during the semester of application.
Proof: Certificate of the semester of leave from the university
Severely disabled pass
You have a valid disabled person’s card that allows you to use all public transportation. In this case, you can either apply to us for a refund or leave a copy of your severely disabled ID at the Student Secretariat and you will receive a reduced semester fee invoice in the future.
Proof: Valid severely disabled person’s ID card (characteristic sign: G, aG, H, Gl, B or Bl)
Midwifery B.Sc. 1st to 3rd semester.
You are studying Midwifery B.Sc. in the 1-3 semester and do the practical part of your training outside of Lower Saxony/Bremen.
Proof: The certificate of enrollment from the university and the training contract from the practical training site.
Double matriculated
You are also enrolled at another university in Lower Saxony/Bremen, which also uses the state-wide semester ticket.
Evidence: a certificate from the other university. This must show that you purchased the statewide semester ticket there and that a refund is not intended for you in the semester you are applying for.

FAQ about the semester ticket refund
Semester ticket refund
Du kannst ausschließlich online über die Webanwendung SeTiEr einen Antrag auf Rückerstattung stellen. Nachweise und Anträge in anderer Form werden nicht beachtet.
Nur, wenn du einen gültigen unbefristeten Schwerbehindertenausweis (Merkzeichen: G, aG, H, Gl, B oder Bl) besitzt, kannst du beim Studierendensekretariat vereinbaren, dass dir künftig der Beitrag für das Semesterticket nicht mehr in Rechnung gestellt wird. Sollte dies nicht erwünscht sein, kannst du ganz normal für jedes Semester deine Rückerstattung über unser Portal online beantragen.
