The summer semester also marks the end of most BAföG approval periods, as a decision is usually made on an application for 12 months. Those who would like to continue to receive BAföG for the winter semester 2023/24 should therefore take care as soon as possible.
In order to make sure that you receive support for as long as possible, we recommend that you submit a follow-up application no later than two months before the end of the approval period. Using form 9 and BAföGdigital, the application can be submitted completely online; missing documents can also be uploaded via the online portal.
Important: If the (follow-up) application is submitted in printed form, missing documents cannot be uploaded digitally at a later date. E-mails with attachments are not accepted by the clerk for security reasons. We therefore recommend submitting the application digitally.
