Leave of absence
How can I apply for a leave of absence?
You can submit your application for a leave of absence through CaMS. Go to the section “Applications and requests” and start the application process. Supporting documents can also be uploaded to CaMS.
I need a confirmation that I am currently on a leave of absence. Where can I find that?
Once your leave of absence has been confirmed (i.e. once your application for a leave of absence has been approved AND we have received your payment), a certificate of enrollment with a remark “on leave of absence” will be available for download in CaMS (student service section, tab ‘Certificates’)

Disenrollment
I do not want to continue my studies at TH Köln. How can I request to be disenrolled?
You can submit a request to be disenrolled through CaMS. To do so, go to the section "Applications and requests" and then select "Disenrollment". Please select a reason for your disenrollment. You can also adjust your disenrollment date (if required) before you submit your request.
I have been disenrolled but I want to continue my studies. What can I do?
Please check
1) if there is a re-registration block that prevented your re-registration. To do so, go to the student service section and select the tab “Blocks”.
2) if you paid the entire semester fee by the deadline. Please visit our website for information on the semester fee and re-registration deadline:
www.th-koeln.de/re-registration
Please get in touch with the Office of Student Services on your Campus immediately to find out if it is still possible to cancel your disenrollment.
Where do I find my certificate of disenrollment?
If you requested to be disenrolled (for additional information, please visit www.th-koeln.de/leave_thk) or if you were disenrolled by TH Köln, a certificate of disenrollment will be available for download in the ‘Certificates’ tab of the student service section. Your notification of disenrollment as well as your pension insurance certificate are also available for download in the same section. After your disenrollment you will continue to have access to CaMS for another six months. We thus recommend that you download and/or print all important documents (i.e. also certificates of enrollment and BAföG certificates, if applicable) while you can still access CaMS.
I cannot properly download my certificates to my smartphone. Why is that?
Certificates in CaMS are always PDF files. Please install a PDF reader to your phone to view these documents.
I have been disenrolled. How can I update my mailing address (e.g. to receive my graduation documents by mail) or receive certificates?
After your disenrollment you will continue to have access to CaMS for another six months. During this time, you can still edit your contact information in the student service section of CaMS. We recommend that you download and/or print all important documents (i.e. also certificates of enrollment and BAföG certificates, if applicable).
