Process flow

The registration procedure varies.

If a school in Saxony-Anhalt is currently attended, the school visited is the first point of contact.
As a rule, applications must be submitted to the school attended.
If the change takes place from another federal state, the State Education Office of Saxony-Anhalt provides information on school catchment areas. In this case, registration takes place directly at the school.
The further procedure then depends individually on the type of school.
