Schedule and course catalog

How do I draw up my schedule?

Drawing up a schedule varies from faculty to faculty. We would recommend first following the bullet points below and then working through the FAQ’s on “Drawing up a schedule” and “GOP”.

You will receive specific help and guidance in creating a schedule during the relevant introductory events and/or workshops offered by your degree program or your faculty.

Where do I start?
  • First of all, read up on the degree program and examination regulations for your degree program. Among other things, you will find the degree program structure and information on the Grundlagen- und Orientierungsprüfung (GOP).
  • Read the basic information on the GOP in the FAQs.
  • The course catalog is available on the campo platform (main menu > degree programs). Select your courses and save them to your schedule, which is saved under the main menu point MyStudies > schedule. Please note: This function is only available after you have signed in using your IdM account! Once you have set up your schedule, you can register for the individual classes on the StudOn platform. To make this easier, links to StudOn are available on your schedule in campo.

Please note the FAQs at the end of the page.

Tips for drawing up your schedule

FAQs on drawing up your schedule

As some courses in the course catalog (available on campo) for the winter semester are not fully entered until mid or even the end of September, it makes sense to create a schedule during this time.

We highly recommend visiting the introductory event for your subject. News students will either receive prepared schedules or at least tips for creating a schedule as well as important information on the Grundlagen- und Orientierungsprüfung (GOP).

In some degree programs, new students can only register for courses after the introductory event.

Check your degree program and examination regulations

Refer to your degree program and examination regulations or the module handbook from your degree program.

Select the version of the degree program examination regulations that applies to when you started your degree program. When starting out in your first semester, this is normally the latest version, which is listed at the very top of the list under “consolidated versions”. If you are unsure: The correct version of the examination regulations is available under the relevant subject on campo by going to the “Student service” page and selecting “My degree programs”.

When selecting classes, please pay special attention to which modules you have to complete for the Grundlagen- und Orientierungsprüfung (GOP). This is not an additional examination. It consists of individual examination achievements from several modules completed during the program.

You are required to complete modules accounting for a certain number of ECTS credits by the end of the third semester at the latest. The number of ECTS credits varies according to faculty. The degree program and examination regulations stipulate which modules have to be completed for the GOP.

Please note: In many cases it is only possible to repeat examinations relevant to or necessary for the GOP one time.

The degree program structures are included as appendices to degree program and examination regulations and are extremely useful. You can use them to check

  • the names of the teaching units included in a module
  • how many and which teaching units belong to a module
  • which semester they should be taken in.

This helps you to select the correct teaching units from the course catalog.

If you have problems registering for classes in StudOn, please first contact the lecturer responsible for the class.
