Please be aware that you will be able to register for courses only once you have been enrolled, not before. By submitting the learning agreement you are NOT automatically registered for courses. Please register on LSF for all courses with numbers “IP ___” and “S ____” in which you wish to take part.

All courses with the course code IP and S can be found on LSF 

On LSFyou can select the English language and then follow this path: ≫ „Lectures“ ≫ „Course Overview“ ≫ „Zentrale Einrichtungen“ ≫ „Career Services“ ≫”International Program”

Choose a course from the list and apply for it with „apply now/cancel application” button (Cancellation is a similar procedure)

An email for confirmation or waiting list information will be sent to your university email address.

Please visit the pages of the Data center (Rechenzentrum).

The emails for confirmation or waiting list information will be sent to your university email address. Please check your university email account frequently. Further information can be found here (PDF) 

Please note that many courses have limited places for students and the course registration is based on a “first come, first served” system. If there are no places left, you will be on the waiting list and notified via email. If somebody cancels his/her registration, you will be forwarded to the list of participants and informed by email.

Should you not be able to take part, you need to deregister on  LSF (to access LSF please see below "HKA web for students", please use the German page at the moment) later than 7 days before the seminar starts. This can be done in the same way as registration (Please see “How do I sign up for courses”).

You need to register for all the courses (course code IP or S) you participated in and wish to appear on your transcript of records (for all the weekly lectures, for the intensive/weekend courses, for the foreign language courses…)

The assessment methods vary and may include written exams, oral exams, essays, reports, projects, presentations, group works. Please note that some courses are pass/fail, no grades will be given. For further information please see the webpage of the International Office.
