Organization of studies - Overview
Here you will find basic information on how to organize your studies successfully. You will need the Study Chip and your CIT account to organize your entire studies. With your CIT account, you can access the FranCa portal, your most important portal for organizing your studies. Here you can submit applications, receive certificates and keep an eye on the most important semester dates.
Study Chip - student card
The Study Chip is your official student ID card.
It is also your user card for the library (Building 3) and can be used as a payment card for the Mensa and in the library.
Please note that the terminal for charging money can be found at the entrance to the Mensa.
In case of defect or loss, please contact the Student Services Center.
The digital semester ticket is not provided by the Student Services Center, but by the AStA of Frankfurt UAS. You can find more information on the AStA website.

Student financing
Studying is an exciting but also cost-intensive time. However, there are many ways in which you can finance your time at university. Which option is best for you depends on your personal situation.
The Central Student Advisory Service has provided an overview of various financing options for students.
If you find yourself in a financial bottleneck during your studies and need support with financing your living expenses, you can take advantage of an interest-free student loan from the Studierendenwerk Frankfurt.
Further information:
Student health insurance
Students are required to have health insurance cover throughout their studies. Students are therefore required to provide proof of their insurance status when enrolling.

FranCa-Portal for students
The FranCa portal for students is a self-service portal for organizing your studies. As a student, you can use it to edit your personal data, to re-register, to generate certificates of enrollment and to register for examinations. You can also use the portal to apply for leave of absence, de-register or refunds.
You can register via the portal selection “For students” with your CIT account.

Semester dates and semester fees
If you like to continue your studies in the same degree course, you must re-register by paying the semester fee within the set deadlines. To make sure payment is received by the deadline, payment must be received by the university by March 1 (for the summer semester) or September 1 (for the winter semester).
The Semester Dates website lists all dates for the current semester, subsequent semesters and past semesters.
