Amount of the \u00d6H contribution?<\/h2>
EUR 26,20<\/h4>
You can always find the current calculation of the \u00d6H membership fee under \u2018Publications\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>
The \u00d6H fee enables the Austrian National Union of Students (\u00d6H) to provide a comprehensive range of services and to act as a strong and independent representative of students vis-\u00e0-vis the responsible ministries. The compulsory membership in the \u00d6H guarantees a politically independent action of the \u00d6H due to its financial independence. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The compulsory membership in the \u00d6H guarantees a politically independent action of the \u00d6H due to its financial independence. <\/p>\n
Basically, 70 cents of your \u00d6H fee are used for the \u00d6H accident and liability insurance, with which you are always on the safe side in and around your studies. Of the remaining amount, 13 percent goes to federal representation and 87 percent goes to individual university representation. <\/p>\n
This 13 per cent essentially funds the extensive advisory services<\/a>, funding schemes<\/a>, leaflets<\/a>, events and all other services<\/a> that you can usually access free of charge. But the local university representatives<\/a> also promote students\u2019 projects, provide support in emergency situations and carry out projects that make your day-to-day student life easier, directly on campus. For any further questions regarding the nationwide use of the \u00d6H contribution, you can always contact the finance department. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

70 cents of your \u00d6H fee are used directly for the \u00d6H accident and liability insurance<\/a>. This guarantees you comprehensive accident and liability insurance on the way to the university or, for example, in the USI course, which covers (almost) all eventualities. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The amount of the \u00d6H fee is regulated by the Student Union Act (in short: HSG; here \u00a7 38 para. 3). This states that the student fee per academic year will increase by the applicable rate of increase in the 2010 Consumer Price Index. The resulting amount shall be rounded up to half or whole euros. The chairperson of the \u00d6H-Bundesvertretung shall announce the amount of the student fee for the following academic year in an appropriate form by May 1 of each year at the latest. It is therefore not at the discretion of the \u00d6H-Bundesvertretung to change the \u00d6H fee. The HSG provides for a mandatory annual adjustment of the \u00d6H contribution in the statutory provisions. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

However, under certain conditions, the \u00d6H will generally refund \u00d6H fees that have been paid twice or more. You can submit your application directly here: https:\/\/www.oeh.ac.at\/en\/forms\/oh-fee-refund\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
