KLIPS now features a new, mobile-optimized interface for course registration and exam sign-up/cancellation. The content and exam regulations remain the same—only the user interface has changed.

Important:

• Old video and click-through guides are no longer usable.
• New WiSo-specific guides are coming soon. Until then, please use the central KLIPS support resources provided by the University of Cologne.
• For support: Always contact the WiSo KLIPS Support via the contact form of the WiSo Student Service Point—not the central KLIPS support.

Tips:

• Get familiar with the new design early.
• Don’t wait until the last minute to sign up or cancel exams!
• Always check under “Exam Dates” to confirm your (de)registration.
• Use the list view instead of the new slider when registering for exams—it’s clearer, especially with the large number of WiSo exams.
