Whether your address, your name or your insurance coverage – a lot can change while you’re enrolled at university. Please keep your personal information and contact details up to date so that we can always reach you.
New address
If you move house, please change your address yourself via AlmaWeb:
- Log in to AlmaWeb.
- Click on “Account” and then, in the left-hand column, on “Change contact information”.
- Under “Correspondence address”, click on “Change”.
- Enter and save your new address.
Change of name
If you wish to notify us of that your name has changed, you can do so by email. Please simply email your contact person and attach the official document confirming your name change (marriage or name change certificate). If you wish to register your middle or third name, simply send us an email with your birth certificate or a scan of your ID.
You can of course also make the changes in person during our opening hours at the Student Service Centre.
Changes to your health insurance
In order to study at Leipzig University, you need to prove that you have health insurance or are exempt from the statutory insurance obligation,
Health insurance providers inform us if students have not paid their fees or if they are no longer covered. In such cases, we are obliged to prevent you from re-enrolling for the following semester. If applicable, information about the reasons why you have been prevented from re-enrolling is available online. Please proceed as follows:
- Log in to AlmaWeb using your username and password.
- Click on “Studies” at the top.
- You will find the “Blocks” link in the left-hand column under the heading “Re-enrolment”.
If you have any questions please email the Student Office.
Please note that if you are prevented from re-enrolling, this can result in your exmatriculation (pursuant to Sect. 19(2) No. 3 and Sect. 22(3) No. 1 of the Saxon Higher Education Act, S?chsHSFG).
- If you switch to another health insurance provider during your studies, please have your new health insurance provider email us proof that you are covered.
- If you are covered by private health insurance, please contact any statutory health insurance provider and ask them to email us to confirm that you are exempt from the statutory insurance obligation.
