The St. Pölten UAS seeks to support staff members with caring responsibilities and to create the best possible conditions for studying with children or while pregnant.

Under certain circumstances, students may file an application for a tuition fee waiver / the return of tuition fees and participation fees. A pregnancy is one of these circumstances. You can file this application by submitting the form and the necessary supporting documents to the CSC.
