USTAT1 Form
After your registration at the study services you need to fill in the USTAT1 form in BOKUonline. For this you need the "Ersatzkennzahl" (alternative number) for the Austrian Social Security Number.
You can find this "Ersatzkennzahl" in your "Studienblatt" (records of studies) that you can download in BOKUonline (-> enrolment documents, top right corner).

Joint Study - second semester /  extension of stay:

If you would like to extend your stay, please contact your home university to see if this is possible.
If your home University agrees please send an Email to jointstudy(at)boku.ac.at to let us know that you will stay one more semester. Your letter of admission to BOKU is valid for 2 semesters. In order to extend your stay at BOKU, you have to pay the obligatory student union fee (ÖH-Beitrag) (you don't have to pay a tution fee but student union fee is obligatory!) in the Study Services office or via Bank transfer: https://short.boku.ac.at/ey39xd

You will find the prescribed amount in BOKUonline:  https://short.boku.ac.at/ypd93y

The amount must be paid by the end of the grace period (usually November 30 / April 30 but please check the academic calendar: https://short.boku.ac.at/int-in-boku-calendar-en.html). If you do not pay your student union fee (ÖH-Beitrag) at the beginning of each semester, you will be automatically deregistered from your studies and will no longer have access to BOKUonline, the e-mail address, certificates, examinations, transcripts etc. If you don't pay you are no longer student at BOKU.
