 You can ''' only''' get German health insurance once you have a valid address in Germany. The Campus Center Team for Application and Admission is aware of this problem for international students. As long as you have provided an address outside Germany in your enrollment documents, you only need to confirm German health insurance once you are in Germany and have accommodation. It is always a good idea to state in the enrollment form that you are an international student from outside Europe/Germany (if the online form lets you). The CampusCenter advises international students to provide their health insurance at the latest in mid-October.

 The CampusCenter checks and evaluates the list and ultimately decides how many of the top-ranked applicants will receive a letter of acceptance. The IAS selection committee or IAS Team do not have jurisdiction here. Overbooking rates, Hardship cases and Waiting semesters cases are evaluated by the CampusCenter according to University law. This may change the order of who and when an applicant receives a letter of acceptance.
