General Notes
Registering for a class is a necessary step if you want to take that class and earn credits. Only after having had received a place in a class will you be able to register for examinations later on.
All classes, language courses and so-called 'AWE' electives must be registered for.
Registration is made online at the LSF portal for all depertments as well as the Foreign Language Centre.
As a rule, students of these study programmes enrol for classes in a registration list. The departments can provide more precise details on the list registration procedure.

Phase 1: Registration for Desired Classes

Phase 2: Automatic Allocation of Places
Allocation of places is done by computer under consideration of the following ranks:
If there are not enough places in a class to accommodate all students, then places will be assigned to equivalent applicants by drawing lots.
You may inform yourself of the status quo of registration at any time by logging into the LSF portal and checking your personal course schedule. You will not receive any separate notification.
- Rank 1: group of the students whose study programme offers the respective class and who are taking said class in the intended term
- Rank 2: group of repeaters
- Rank 3: group of the students whose study programme offers the respective class, but who are not taking said class in the intended term
- Rank 4: group of the students from other study programmes

At the end of every above-mentioned allocation period, you must sign up again with your registration requests if you have not been placed! Shortlisted applicants are not automatically offered a place.
Please withdraw from classes you no longer want or are able to take by cancelling your registration. Only then can these places be made available for allocation to other students.

Taking Classes in Other Study Programmes or Departments
If you would like to take a supplementary general academic elective ("AWE") in another department or a class in another study programme/department, please observe the following:
- First check with the chairperson of your Examination Board whether the class is actually accredited for your study programme or not.
You can find the chairperson of the Examination Board in the Study Programme section. - In addition, check with your Department Administration office to find out if a separate exam registration might be necessary in certain circumstances.
The addresses of the Department Administration offices can be found on the pages of the individual departments, in the sub-section "Fachbereichsverwaltung" (Department Administration). - Register for the desired subject in the LSF portal as usual. If you are unable to register for the subject in the LSF portal, please contact the department that offers the class.
