How does the registration system work?

In the course directory u:find, you can register for courses during the registration period, which varies for each study program. To do this, simply follow the registration link, which will redirect you to u:space. You may need to log in to u:space if you haven't already. In the next step, you will select the study program for which you want the course to be credited and the study plan point, i.e., the module in your study plan, to which the course should be assigned. u:space usually does this automatically, but sometimes you may need to enter it manually.

For courses with continuous assessment (prüfungsimmanente LVs), there are two different systems for allocating course places: the preference system and the points system. The system you need to use depends on your study program.

In the preference system, you select one or more parallel events for each course with continuous assessment, which means different time slots that you can prioritize up or down, depending on your preferences.

The points system works differently. Each semester, you have 1000 points to distribute among individual courses. The more points you allocate to a course, the higher its priority.

Finally, click "save." At the end of the registration period, you will receive an email notification informing you whether you have been admitted to a course or not.

If you have obtained a place in a course with continuous assessment, you must attend the first session (or be excused) to secure your place. If you are placed on a waiting list for a course but still want to participate, it is recommended to attend the first session anyway. This is because remaining slots are often allocated during the first session, and course capacities may be increased by up to one-third.
