You can only be enrolled officially once you have submitted all the required documents and when the university has received the  payment of your tuition fee or the signed direct debit authorisation. Only then you will receive your certificate of enrolment and your UM student ID card.


Exception(s):


It may be that you do not yet have the results of your language exam. Provided that you take the exam before 1 September, you will be conditionally admitted to your study programme. This conditional admission will be transformed into a definitive admission once we receive the proof that you have passed the exam. If your mark is insufficient, however, you will excluded from the programme.
