Pre-registration for the summer term 2025 starts on December 17th 2024.

What criteria must my photo meet for the student ID?

Your student card is an official identification document. Accordingly, the same rules apply for selecting the photo to be used. The person must be clearly recognizable and not be wearing any headgear (caps, hoods, etc.). The photo must be taken from the front and show the entire head; anything below the shoulders cannot be included in the picture. Further information on valid passport photos can also be found at: https://www.bmi.gv.at/607/files/Passbild_Kriterien_2022.pdf 

I did NOT obtain my higher education entrance qualification (Matura, Abitur, ...) in Austria - how can I declare this?

If you have acquired your higher education entrance qualification (general qualification for university entrance, university entrance qualification) in another state than Austria, please select
"25 Foreign school leaving examination"
from the list for the school type.

You can then select the correct country of issue (e.g. Germany, France, etc.).

I have studied at BOKU before, do I also have to pre-register?

If you have already studied at BOKU, please contact the Study Services.

I used to work at BOKU, how can I pre-register?

If you are a former BOKU employee, please contact the BOKU IT-Hotline.

I work at BOKU, where can I find the pre-registration?

If you are a BOKU staff member, you can pre-register after logging in to BOKUonline at the level of the respective organisational unit. To do so, click on the link "Pre-registration for studies". The remaining steps are the same as in the pre-registration for students.

Who can I contact when I have study-related questions?

If you have any study-related questions about the pre-registration, admission or studies, please contact the Study Services.

You have created a basic account for the pre-registration. Please note that this basic account does NOT YET give you access to all IT services.
