Returning home
![[Translate to Englisch:] Internationale Studierende verlassen die HTW Berlin [Translate to Englisch:] Zwei internationale Studierende der HTW Berlin vor Ihrer Rückkehr nach Hause](https://www.htw-berlin.de/fileadmin/HTW/Zentral/ZR_II_-_International_Office/Incomings/csm_Internationals_Welcome_1_688aa6412a.png)
Before leaving Berlin and returning to your home country, there are a few things to handle:
- Certificate of Attendance:
If necessary, obtain signatures/stamps from the International Office at HTW Berlin e.g. for your Erasmus+ documents, confirmation of stay abroad, etc. These documents can be obtained from the International Office of your home university. Please prepare all required documents so only the signature/stamp is missing. - Library:
Return any borrowed media to the library. - Student's Residence:
In case you are staying in our student's residence: Inform the dormitory's administration of your moving out date and your bank details for the deposit refund. Also arrange your moving out and viewing with the janitor (Hausmeister). - Local Citizens' Office (Bürgeramt):
Deregister from the local citizens' registration office (Bürgeramt) anytime within the period of one week before and two weeks after your departure. It is recommended to book your appointment a few weeks in advance as they are in high demand. The deregistration form can be obtained here. - German Health Insurance:
Punctual cancellation of your health insurance (applies only to non EU-students). - Bank Account:
Close your local bank account in case you do not need it anymore.
We hope to stay in touch with you and that you enjoyed your stay at HTW Berlin!
Goodbye!
