Registration and Enrollment Deadlines

Registration and Enrollment Deadline | winter semester 2024/25

The registration period for the winter semester 2024/25 starts on Monday, September 29th, 2024 at 9:00 AM and ends on Friday, October 11th, 2024 at 11:59 PM

Places will be allocated in the order of registration.

During the registration period at the SQ Centre, you can sign up for seminars in ZEuS. If spots are available, you will be directly admitted to the course or seminar. Upon admission, you will also be automatically registered for the exam.

If a seminar is already fully booked, your registration will be added to a waiting list. You can check your position on the waiting list by accessing your study planner: go to "My Studies" > "Enrollments" and select "Events", then check the status. If both the available spots and the waiting list are already full, you will receive a system message from ZEuS informing you that no further registrations are possible.

Between September 29th and October 11th, 2024, you will have the option to cancel your registration for a seminar or waiting list spot. If you do cancel, any exam registration that you had previously made will also be deleted. Once the registration period has ended, you will be officially admitted to the seminar and the exam, meaning you will know which SQ seminar you are enrolled in before the semester begins.

You can register for a maximum of three seminars.

It is possible to deregister from a seminar for which you have registered for the exam, up to eight days before the seminar. However, if you wish to deregister from the seminar from seven days before the start of the seminar, then you must provide a medical certificate in case of illness. For all other compelling reasons you have to provide a credible justification for your deregistration.

In case of an unjustified absence from an SQ seminar for which you are admitted, you will receive a "did not attend" note as the exam mark. This corresponds to a grade of 5.0. Furthermore, you are not able to register again for this seminar in the future.

After the registration deadline, you can still register for seminars with available places up to 8 days before the start. You may find the list of seminars with available places at Freie Plätze.
