What happens after I hand in my application?

​​If you have applied via uni-assist...

... uni-assist will first check if your application is complete and if you meet the formal application requirements.

Depending on the programme you applied for, you have to keep a few things in mind:

1. If your application is incomplete, uni-assist will inform you and ask you to submit missing documents or to correct wrong documents. Kindly note that this is only possible during the application period, even if uni-assist informs you after the deadline. In case the application deadline has already passed, you can no longer submit documents.
   
   
2. If your application is complete and meets all formal requirements, uni-assist will forward your application to the admission office of Hochschule Düsseldorf. You will receive a letter from uni-assist informing you about this. You can use this letter to start applying for a visa.
   
   
3. After Hochschule Düsseldorf has received your application from uni-assist, we will create an HSD account for your and send you an email with log-in details for this account. Admission and rejection letters are only uploaded onto this account.
   
          ***Kindly only use this account, which the HSD officially created for you.***
   
   To set your password for your account, follow the steps explained here.
   
   
4. After Hochschule Düsseldorf has received your application, we will then review your application again based on the requirements for your programme and carry out the admission processes.
   
   
5. The admission process usually starts after the application deadline for most programmes and can take between 3 – 6 weeks. As soon as an admission or rejection letter is available for you, you will receive an email and you need to access your HSD account to retrieve this letter.
   
   
6. In case of admission, you will need to accept your offer and initiate the enrolment process online. All relevant forms and information for enrolment are available in your HSD account. The steps involved in the online enrolment are described here. Please pay attention to the enrolment deadline stated in the admission letter!
