Data collection and application

To pre-register for a study programme, you create an account in the online system of the University of Graz. There you enter personal data, the desired study programme(s) and upload the necessary documents. After the data check by the university, you will be sent a selection of dates for enrollment.

If you want to apply for a Master's or Doctoral programme, the date selection will take place at a later date.

Note: The online pre-registration for the summer semester 2023 starts on December 12, 2022. Be sure to pre-register during the respective period for the semester in which you want to start your studies. (See study year.)

Online pre-registration

Also: Pre-registering online does not mean registering for the admission process/entrance exam. (This is done here.)

On the date you chose, you have to appear for the personal enrollment in the study department (Universitätsplatz 3a) - with all the following documents as originals or as a notarized copy:

• Higher education entrance qualification certificate + secondary school graduation certificate + table of subjects
• Passport OR national identity card (if both are not available: Driver's license + proof of citizenship)
• E-Card
• if you are transferring from another educational institution:
  • Proof of registration number (e.g. record of studies, student ID)
  • Deregistration certificate of your previous university, if you continue to study the same programme

Note: If you had to go through an admission procedure, you also need the confirmation of your study place!

The enrollment is completed with the payment of the ÖH or tuition fee. You can do that either on site with a debit or credit card or later by bank transfer. When this money arrives for the first time, you are a student!

What is the ÖH fee? This fee enables the Austrian Student Union (ÖH) to represent students independently. It must be paid every semester so that you can continue to be registered as a student.

What is the tuition fee? Regular students from EU/EEA countries or Switzerland only have to pay a tuition fee once they have exceeded the minimum study duration + tolerance semester(s). For non-degree programme student who are only attending individual courses, participants in university and/or preparatory courses and international students (non-EU/EEA citizens), other tuition fees apply.

ÖH or tuition fee

As soon as the ÖH/student fee has been received, you are officially registered for the current semester. You can now activate your student account: Go to https://online.uni-graz.at and under "Students - Enter your PIN code here" enter the code you received by e-mail as well as your registration number and date of birth. The system will then automatically assign you a username. You set your password and your student account in UNIGRAZonline is activated.

Note: Please remember your account data (username and password)! You need them for every login to UNIGRAZonline. The PIN code is only to be used when logging in for the first time.

The UNIGRAZCard is the official student card of the University of Graz. You can request it in UNIGRAZonline under "Application for UNIGRAZCard". You will need a suitable photo (passport photo format, high resolution) to upload. If you choose "Pick-up at the kiosk", you will get a QR code to issue the card in the university library entrance area by yourself. If you want to collect it in person at the Academic Affairs Office, you can do so after four to five working days - during opening hours and upon presentation of an official photo ID (passport, ID card or driver's license).

Note: The card is free of charge; in case of loss, theft, damage or change of data (including changing the image), a fee must be paid.
