Application status

In preparation

You have started an application, but you have not submitted it yet.

Submitted

You have submitted your application online. You must now wait for the application to be processed by the Admissions Office. Due to the large number of applications we receive every semester, processing your application may take a few days. Please be patient and do not ask for status updates.

Valid

Your application was processed and will be considered for admission. This status does not necessarily mean that you will receive a place of study, it only means that you have submitted all the required documents at this time. If there are any documents which will are not mandatory for admission but may be relevant for enrolment, they will be shown in the application portal.

In progress / Temporarily excluded

Your application has been processed but will not be considered for admission (normally due to missing documents). The application portal will tell you what important documents are needed and when you must submit them.

Excluded

Your application is not valid and will be excluded from the admission process.

The application status can change, for example when additional documents are received, or your application is checked a second time etc. You should therefore always check your status again before the end of the application period.

Admission offered – admission notice follows

Congratulations! You have received admission for this program.

For Bachelor programs without restricted admission (no NC), your admission notice will soon be avaliable for download in the OTH Regensburg application portal.
For Bachelor programs with restricted admission (NC), you must first accept the place of study online at hochschulstart.de. You will then receive your admission notice by e-mail from the Stiftung für Hochschulzulassung (= hochschulstart.de). Please keep the admission notice safely and do not delete it, copies can not be issued. Please check your e-mail and spam folder regularly.
For Master programs, you will receive the admission notice by e-mail.

Admission declined – Rejection notice to follow

If you applied for a Bachelor program with restricted admission and you see this status, then you have not received a place on this degree programme because of the Numerus Clausus NC (restricted admission). Please wait for the written rejection notice – it will show you all further information. Please do not call us to ask whether any study place have become free. We cannot predict how the admission procedure will develop and whether or not a place will become available. You will be informed as soon as possible if a place does become available. Please keep the rejection notice in a safe place – copies cannot be issued.
