Online Enrolment of Subjects and Schedule

The online enrolment period is a preliminary enrolment period. The enrolment of subjects is preliminary, which means that the student can modify or cancel subject choice at any time during the online subject enrolment period. As long as subjects are enrolled only on a preliminary basis, students cannot sign up online for exam dates, and teachers cannot enter examination results. Once electronic enrolment is closed, the SIS Office will transfer the subjects to binding enrolment where no additions or cancellations are possible. Any changes to the subjects enrolled must be consulted with the exchange programme coordinator. Once binding subjects are enrolled, students shall be able to sign up online for examination dates, and teachers shall be able to enter exam marks.

When the enrolment is complete, make sure you validate the subjects enrolled by pressing the Validation button on the top green toolbar.

- This subprogramme checks whether all subjects preliminarily enrolled online comply with the rules (e.g. course X must be enrolled simultaneously with course Y; some courses cannot be enrolled simultaneously; the capacity limit of the course has been exceeded etc.). - Unless you validate your enrolment and if two or more incompatible subjects have been enrolled, neither of these subjects will be finally enrolled in the binding enrolment process. - First, make a Validation request (a), next press Refresh result (b).

- Do not press Validation request unless necessary. It only has effect once the enrolment has been changed. When waiting for validation results, you can find out the current state by pressing Refresh result. Waiting Lists If the course is full, you may register on the Waiting List of the subject. Once a vacancy is available and you are next on the list, you will be enrolled automatically. To register on the Waiting List of subjects with no vacancies, please click on the radio button next to the subject code and confirm by pressing Enrol.

For subjects requiring the schedule item selection, the preferred parallel class must be selected and confirmed by pressing Enrol.
