Online Pre-Registration: Data Capture

You have never registered to study at the University of Graz before? Here, we have provided a step-by-step guide on how to register for a degree programme for the first time.

1. Choosing a degree programme (possibly admission procedure)
2. Creating a pre-admission UNIGRAZonline basic account for initial data capture
3. Applying for admission in person at the Academic Affairs office
4. Paying the mandatory tuition or Austrian Students' Union fee
5. Setting up a UNIGRAZonline student account
6. Applying for the UNIGRAZcard

• Decide on a degree programme from the range of studies offered at the University of Graz and check whether you meet all the requirements for admission.
   
• Please note that it is only possible to enrol in a limited admission degree programme with restricted admission once you have successfully completed the admission procedure! This also applies to the Bachelor's Degree Teacher Training Programme!
   

• The review of the application is an administrative procedure. This means that there are legal requirements that the applicants and the university must comply with. This includes first checking the formal requirements (e.g. required legalizations) and only then are the content-related requirements evaluated.

  We would therefore like to point out that an application should only be submitted if you meet the necessary formal requirements. Applications that do not meet these requirements lead to a longer process time and eventually have to be rejected.

In order to pre-register for a degree programme, you have to create an account for the University of Graz online system (UNIGRAZonline) and enter your personal data and your desired degree programme(s) at: online pre-registration. Only then can you register for the degree programme(s) in person at the Academic Affairs office of the University of Graz.

For the summer semester 2023, early sign-up and data capture will start on December 12, 2022.

If you want to apply for a Master's or Doctoral programme, the date selection will take place at a later date!

Once you have entered your personal data in UNIGRAZonline, you can make an appointment to apply for admission in person at the Academic Affairs office. Please bring ALL the following documents either as originals or as a notarised copy with you to this appointment:

• Higher education entrance qualification certificate + secondary school graduation certificate + table of subjects
• Passport OR national ID card (if both are not available: driver’s license + proof of citizenship)
• e-card
• when transferring from another university or university college of teacher education:
  • Proof of registration number (e.g., record of studies, student ID)
  • Deregistration certificate of your previous university if you are continuing the degree programme

You have to pay the mandatory tuition or ÖH fee either

• when applying for admission in person using a debit or credit card, or
• with a paying-in slip, which you receive when you enrol at the Academic Affairs office

The fee for the Austrian Students' Union (ÖH) must be paid every semester and allows the students’ union to represent the interests of students independently.

Regular students from EU/EEA countries or Switzerland only have to pay a tuition fee once they have exceeded the minimum study duration + tolerance semester(s). For non-degree programme student who are only attending individual courses, participants in university and/or preparatory courses and international students (non-EU/EEA citizens), other tuition fees apply. You can find more information on the page on tuition fees.

Once your payment has been registered in the tuition fee account (approx. 3 to 5 working days after payment), you are officially registered for the current semester! Only then can you go to the UNIGRAZonline webpage and log in at

https://online.uni-graz.at

To activate your UNIGRAZonline account, enter the preliminary PIN code you received by e-mail as well as your registration number and date of birth. The system will then automatically assign you a user name.

Once you have set a secure password, your personal account in UNIGRAZonline is fully activated.

Please make sure to remember your account details (user name and password) as these are required for every login to UNIGRAZonline. The preliminary PIN code is only needed for the very first login.

The UNIGRAZcard is the official student ID (photo ID accord. to § 60 (4) Universities Act 2002) of the University of Graz.

• Once you have successfully activated your UNIGRAZonline account, you can check your personal data in your business card and apply for your UNIGRAZcard under the link "Application for UNIGRAZcard".
• You must first upload a photo to your UNIGRAZonline account (passport photo format, high resolution). Please make sure that you are clearly recognisable in the photo, or the card cannot be issued.
• Your UNIGRAZcard is ready for collection 4-5 working days after submitting your application. The UNIGRAZcard can only be collected during opening hours at the Academic Affairs office in person upon presentation of an official photo ID (passport, national ID card or driver's license).

Please note: only the first issuance of the card is free of charge! In the event of loss, theft, damage or alteration of the data, you will be required to reimburse the manufacturing costs.
