Students may take leave of absence from studying due to serious illness, non-obligatory internships, university-related periods spent abroad, maternity leave, participation in elite sport or exercising representative student positions. Students should make the appropriate application and if required provide evidence supporting their application.
Students whose leave of absence has been approved are still liable to pay the semester fee on time. AStA Hochschule RheinMain decides on whether it is possible to reimburse the fee for public transport.
