Online registration serves the purpose of recording your personal details as well as choosing your desired degree programme at the University of Klagenfurt.

All applicants must complete the online registration.
Exception: Persons who have already been registered at the University of Klagenfurt.

This self-registration can only be conducted online. You will need to provide an e-mail address. Once you have completed the online-registration, you will receive an e-mail asking you to activate your user account.

Click on the link provided in the e-mail you have received. As part of the account activation procedure, you will be required to choose a username and define a password. You will keep your username throughout your entire time at the University of Klagenfurt.

Once your user account is active, you can log in to the registration/application portal using your access data (username and password).

Complete your personal details such as your birth date, address, etc. on the registration/application portal. These are required in order to process your admission to a degree programme. You will also need to upload a passport photograph of suitable quality. Select the degree programme of your choice.

If the degree programme of your choice is subject to a special admission procedure, you must complete this step before you can enrol in person at the Admissions and Examinations Office.

The sequence of events for the respective special admission procedure can vary from one degree programme to the next.

For your enrolment in person, you must book an appointment in advance. Further information on how to book an appointment is available on the page of the Admissions and Examinations Office.

During the admission periods and after booking an appointment, you can enrol for a degree programme in person at the Admissions and Examinations Office.

For your admission (enrolment), bring along the required original documents. To check which documents are required for admission, head to the webpage concerning admission and click on the link relevant for you.

During enrolment, you will receive your matriculation number (student ID number), which you will need throughout your time as a student for various administrative processes.

Please complete the electronic questionnaire, which you will receive by e-mail.

Your AAU.card, which is both a student ID and a service card, will be issued during the admission process. The AAU.card lists your name, date of birth, and student ID number. It also includes the photo you previously uploaded.

Approximately one week after you have paid the tuition fees/ÖH student union fees, please use the wall-mounted printer to have the period of validity printed onto your AAU.card.

Following your admission, you will receive an e-mail with the payment details (amount, recipient, IBAN, BIC, payment reference number) for the payment of the student union fees/university fees. The e-mail will be sent to your university e-mail address.

Important note: The reference number changes every semester!

Pay the student union fees/university fees in time and give due attention to the necessary payment details. If you use online ­banking, be sure to quote the payment reference number (customer number), which you can find in the area of your online student portal („Meine Visitenkarte“).

Additional information about student union fees/university fees

You can log in to the student portal using your access data (username and password). If you have paid the student union fees/university fees in time and correctly, about five working days after the deposit has been made your student portal will include two kinds of confirmation of enrolment (“Studienblatt” and “Studienbestätigung”), which you can also print (you may need to submit these documents to various authorities, such as the tax office, the financial aid office, …). The student portal is a web interface, where you can find and organise everything you need in relation to your studies (course registration, overview of grades, and much more).

Log into the student portal using your access data. The menu on the left-hand side includes the section “Services” and the link “LV Anmeldung”. Here, you can register for the courses (LVs) you wish to attend (from early September for the winter semester and from early February for the summer semester). Once you have registered for a course, the course schedule including all dates will be displayed in the calendar. A list of the courses you have signed up for can be found in the section “Meine Lehrveranstaltungen”, i.e. my courses.

Please note that you can only register once the ÖH fee or/and the tuition fee has registered as received in the university bank account (approximately five business days after the payment).

The ÖH Info-Days (student union info days) take place at the start of the admission period. By visiting the different stations, you can benefit from advice provided by experienced students. Outside of the admission period you can also contact the student union directly (phone +43 463 2700 8800).

Join a tutorial for freshers! This will provide you with all the information you need as you embark upon your university degree. The tutorials are held in small groups run by experienced students. Further information is available on the webpage of the ÖH student union or by e-mail.

The Welcome Days provide you with all you need to know about starting your degree programme. You will be shown how to manage your studies in an efficient and focused manner, while also enjoying your time as a student. The Welcome Days are an opportunity for you to receive specific information about your chosen degree programme, as well as general information, which will simplify your daily life as a student. The Welcome Days count as a course and you will receive 1 ECTS credit for participating.
