Next Steps

It is best to pay the ÖH fee and, if necessary, the tuition fee directly after enrolment. You are only officially admitted to the degree programme once you have paid. You can then carry out the next steps:

  • Make sure that you have received your student ID, the TUcard, and that it is activated.
  • Set up your accounts and activate your TU Wien email address.
  • You can generate your Confirmation of Enrolment ("Studienbestätigung") and your Student Record Sheet ("Studienblatt") in your TISS account under "Student Self Service".
  • Your TUcard is also a library card: don't forget to activate this function.
  • Familiarise yourself with TU Wien's online systems:
    • In TISS you can plan your studies, find a study room and much more
    • TUWEL is TU Wien's central e-learning platform
    • Our digital map TUW Maps guides you through TU Wien
  • Register in TISS for the courses of the first semester.
  • Discover the university and its communities at the Welcome Day at the beginning of October.
