Registration

At the Foreign Language Centre, registration for a language course is a prerequisite for participation in language classes and admittance to examinations. The repeatability period begins with the first-time registration for a class and runs for two consecutive terms, even if no examination attempts are made.

Apart from the exceptions* listed below, registration for foreign language courses can be made by students of the HTW online via the LSF portal at the specified dates.

*Exceptions:
Enrolment lists for class registration in written form will be made available for the following language courses/participants:

1. Diplom students and students whose bachelor programmes are based on older study regulations.
2. Courses enrolled on additionally by HTW students who have completed their language courses already.
3. Participating guests (including students and exchange students from partner institutions) in all courses.
4. Courses at or for other institutions.

Guests and latecomers wishing to enroll after the expiry of the enrollment period should consult the course lecturer.
The same deadlines apply as for online registration.

You can find

• information on language training requirements in the study regulations for your study programme;
• language courses for specific study programmes in the respective course schedules;
• all language courses offered are in the Languages and Courses Offered section;
• all the language courses that have to be registered for online in the LSF portal.

If you still require individual guidance counselling for your registration, the directors of the language groups have set up some additional appointments outside of their normal office hours.

Enrolment for guest students or auditing students will also be noted on these days.

Additional consultation appointments might be particularly advantageous to students in their first term if they opt to take language classes other than those stipulated by their course schedule due to inadequate prior knowledge or the individual selection of another possible language programme (cp. respective study regulations).

Location for enrolment and guidance counselling: Aristotelessteig 14 with the Language Group Directors.

• Students in their first term have been pre-registered for a regular foreign language course for their study programme, which is listed in their sample course schedule. If new students wish to take a different language or an additional language, they must independently register for this within the cut-off period (provided there are still free places) and withdraw their registration from the undesired language course already in their course schedule.
• Repeat students who have not automatically received a place after the second phase should consult the Language Group Directors during office hours or the Foreign Language Centre’s administrative office. Please bring along the LSF printout that includes a list of all the classes you have registered for.
• Severely handicapped people, single parents or competitive athletes who have registration problems should contact their department administration (see contact persons in the section for your Study Programme) and bring along the respective certificates and the LSF printout that includes a list of all the classes that have been registered for.
