Step 1: Scheduling

Familiarize yourself with your study plan (in the subject examination regulations, FPO) and the module handbook. The study plan will tell you how your degree program is scheduled and which courses you have to attend.

Step 2: Course Registration

Register for the selected courses in the LSF course catalog. The first registration phase runs from 15.08. to 28.09. After that, for courses with limited capacity, a lottery will be held among all registered students.

Step 3: Course Admission

After the lottery procedure (approx. from October 1), check whether you have been admitted to all the courses you have chosen. If you have not been admitted, there will be a second admission phase from October 2 to October 14, during which you can register directly for any seats that remain free.

Step 4: Orientation Week

Take part in the information event during the orientation week. The introductory event for special education will take place on October 4 from 10:00 to 12:00 in S04 T01 A02 (Chemistry lecture hall in the old Audimax).

Step 5: Participation

In the week starting October 7, attend all courses to which you have been admitted. There you will receive further information, such as the individual schedule of the event. Please note the rules for allocating places in the first session!

Step 6: Exam Registration
