A fixed component of the semester contributions is the social contribution of 110 euros, which is passed on to the Studierendenwerk. The basis for this is the Studierendenwerk's contribution regulations, which are passed by the administrative board.

The semester contribution is paid in one sum to the respective university. The date on which the money is received is decisive for meeting the re-registration deadline. If you have any questions regarding the payment procedure, please contact

FAQ: Frequently asked questions

Do I have to register for counselling?

Please book an appointment for an individual consultation. Appointments are allocated promptly.

You can visit the open consultation hours without an appointment. This always takes place on Thursdays from 1pm to 2pm in the counselling offices of the Psychological Counselling Service (Mensa building).

What can I expect in the initial interview?

The initial consultation lasts about 45 minutes. It serves to clarify your personal concerns and to check whether psychological counselling is suitable for you. We are interested in why you are looking for support, what expectations and wishes you have of us and what you want to achieve through counselling.

In addition, you will have the opportunity to discuss individual questions and concerns with us during the initial interview. At the end of the initial interview, we will jointly determine the next steps. This can mean, among other things, that we arrange further talks or support you in finding a more suitable offer of help.

Where does the counselling take place?

Individual counselling takes place either in person at our premises in Dortmund, or online in the form of a video consultation.

The counselling offices are located in the Studierendenwerk refectory building, Vogelpothsweg 85 in 44227 Dortmund, on level 0, the parking level, right next to the former "Vital" bistro. The counselling centre is barrier-free accessible. Sufficient parking spaces, bus stops, S-Bahn and H-Bahn stations are nearby.

By arrangement, counselling can also be provided online in the form of a video consultation! Please feel free to ask!

Who can take advantage of the counselling?

Psychological counselling is available to students at TU Dortmund, FH Dortmund, FH Südwestfalen and FernUni Hagen.

How does the counselling work?

In an initial meeting, we first clarify your concerns with you. We then jointly determine the further procedure and decide whether there should be further talks or whether there is a more suitable offer for you. The extent of the counselling depends on your individual concerns; as a rule, there are about five appointments available.

When you take advantage of the counselling, a counselling relationship is established between you and the Psychological Counselling Centre of the Studierendenwerk Dortmund. The counselling is carried out by the employees of the Counselling Centre on the basis of an internal distribution; it may happen that different counsellors carry out the counselling on a rotating basis. The counselling service is a psychological counselling service, no therapy is offered and no healing is practised.
