FORMS TO REGISTER CLASSES 

NOTE: This information is meant to help students organize their studies. It is not legally binding. For legal information please refer to the Studienordnung and Prüfungsordnung (see above).

Whilst the majority of the program's core courses can be registered for using FU's campus management platform, sometimes physical forms have to be used to register, remove or move classes and modules in campus management. Please try, where possible, to keep your campus management up to date, and register, remove/move around classes before the deadline for campus management class registration at the start of each semester to avoid additional paperwork for yourself, your lecturers and colleagues at the FU.
