Registration for courses and examinations

  • All registration is done in U:SPACE.
  • A full list of courses offered each semester can be found in the Course Directory in U:FIND.
  • Students can repeat courses within 12 months of receiving a positive grade for the same course. Repeating the course at a later point is not possible. More information here (in German). 

Attention:

If you cannot make it to the first lesson of your course, you need to write the lecturer an e-mail stating the reason you cannot attend BEFORE the start of the lesson. All students who do not show up and fail to inform the lecturer in time will be automatically deregistered.

Deregistration from courses with continuous assessment is possible until 31 October and is done in U:SPACE. If you quit a course after this date, you will get a fail grade. If you intend to deregister from a course you're currently in, please do so as early as possible in order to allow for one of your colleagues from the waiting list to take your place.

You can only sign up for remaining course places if you fulfil all the requirements for the respective course(s)!
