Courses with open spots will be added after the second allocation period for:

  • general education requirements (Ergänzungsbereich),
  • M15 – Wissensvertiefung (Courses from Cultural Studies),
  • M5 – Kulturwissenschaftliches Ergänzungsmodul

Hardship Claim (Härtefallantrag)

  • If you determine before the beginning of course registration that you can only participate in one course, e.g. due to scheduling conflicts with courses from your other field of study or because other circumstances limit your flexibility, you are obliged to file a hardship claim promptly on or after February 13, 2023.

 

  • If after the second course allocation process you have not been admitted to a course which you need in order to graduate on time, you can file a hardship claim on or after March 14, 2023.
  • Students who aren't able to access course registration by the beginning of the official registration period should also file a hardship claim.

M.Ed. (only for the summer semester)

If, due to restrictions resulting from your other major, you are only able to attend one of the offered time slots in the Teilmodul Ausgewählte Themenbereiche der Englisch-Didaktik, please file a hardship claim before the second allocation period.

In General

Waitlist Process

After remaining open spots have been allocated, you may ask to be placed on a course's waitlist. To do so, please email the your Matrikelnummer and desired course name. Possible admissions will take place in the first week of classes (so that you'll only miss one course session).

Allocation of Places

Spots in seminars and tutorials are assigned during the allocation phases (see above). We ask you to refrain from inquiring about your course selections until the allocation period is over. Please check the status of your course selections online in your HISinOne timetable (you will not receive a separate confirmation of registration).

The electronic allocation process is not first come, first served – selecting a course earlier does not raise the probability of getting a spot in a course. If more students have signed up for a course than there are spots, an automated lottery system will determine who gets in, taking into account the priority each student has assigned that course. If you decide you don’t want to take a seminar or tutorial which you have successfully registered for, it is your responsibility to deregister from the course.

In order to achieve the ideal student–teacher ratio in seminars and tutorials, we initially limit the size at 15 students during the first allocation of places. If this is not enough to meet demand, it is possible to raise the maximum number of participants by five at a time, up to 40. Students can register for these additional spots starting in the second course selection period. Five spots are always reserved for transfer students, exchange students and students entering their first semester.

It is generally possible to audit any course that still has open spots. Please contact the professor by email to ask permission to attend their class. Once you get their permission, please forward their response, along with your student number, to .

Dropping Courses

You can only drop courses during their respective registration period. Once the registration period for a given course type has expired, you can no longer manually drop the class via HISinOne. If you wish to cancel your registration after the end of the registration period, please send an e-mail to , stating the title of the course and your Matrikelnummer. Your registration will then be cancelled accordingly.
