Registration for courses with participant restriction (usually seminars) takes place via the course and not via the module examination. The reason for this is that a fixed place is required for exam registration (in contrast to courses without participant restriction). You can identify the participant restriction by the fact that a course has fewer than 9999 places. Follow the instructions below to successfully register for an course examination.

If your questions are not answered by our FAQs, the KLIPS support of the WiSo faculty will be happy to help you. Please use the WiSSPo contact form and select “KLIPS” as the reason for your request.

To enable us to process your request quickly, please describe your request as precisely as possible. Please state the modules concerned with title and module number. If helpful, you can also attach a screenshot.

Select the “My Degree Programme” section.

There are several ways to register for an exam:

1. Via the study programme tree on the right-hand side (recommended for the desktop view).
2. Via the new schedule tool (bookmark). To do this, you must first mark modules and examinations that you will/would like to take during your degree programme. Please see the instructions of the central KLIPS support on organising bookmarked courses/examinations.
3. Via the study programme areas if you scroll further down (recommended for mobile devices).

Note: Depending on your personal preference, you can use the study programme tree or go via the study programme areas, regardless of whether you are using a mobile device or a desktop. Below we present study programme tree on the desktop, which technically works just as well on a mobile device.

The path via the study programme areas is shown below (3).

In the example, we would like to register for the examination of the core module Marketing II in the elective area of the core and advanced section of Business Administration. To do this, we click through to the course - the Project. CM Marketing II is a seminar and has a limited number of participants.

Note: the main difference between the module examination and the course (i.e. the Project) is that you have to select the course instead of the module examination.

Once we have selected Project, we are at the course level. Here we find all the necessary information about the exam: the exam date, the time and the examiner.

Note: Modules (here: CM Marketing II) can contain several courses (in our example there are five seminars, which can be viewed by scrolling). However, only one seminar can be passed in order to complete this module. Therefore, there can only ever be one fixed place. In our example, we see that there is a fixed place in the seminar ‘Marketing Application’. This means that you can only register for an exam for this seminar during the registration period.

We click on the ‘Go to exam registration’ button below.

Here we can see all the important information about the exam at a glance. We can also see the registration and de-registration deadlines.

Important: Once the deadline has passed, it is no longer possible to register for or deregister from an exam.

We can also see in the fold-out information field that we are in the right place and can register for this exam. You will see a negative example of an attempt to register for CM Marketing II via the module examination in the next sreenshot. The fold-out information field here refers to the registration path via the course.

Advice: Always look at the additional information each time you register for an examination - regardless of the registration type.

Click on the ‘Register’ button to register for the course examination. Two message windows will appear if the exam registration was successful.

In the example, we would like to register for the examination of the core module Marketing II in the elective area of the core and advanced section of Business Administration. To do this, we click through to the course - the Project. CM Marketing II is a seminar and has a limited number of participants/seminar seats.

Alternatively, we can also use the search bar and then select the Project to the right of the study programme tree.

Use the calendar as a reminder: Enter all registration and de-registration deadlines for exams in your private calendar immediately after you have been allocated a fixed place. Electronic calendars with push notifications help you not to miss any important deadlines.

Individual exam registration: You have to register for each exam yourself. A fixed place in a course does not mean that you are automatically registered for the exam.

Do not exhaust deadlines: Register or deregister in good time - do not wait until the last minute. Technical problems such as internet failure or device errors can otherwise lead to deadlines being missed. It is not possible to register or deregister after the deadline.

Plan your examination phase early: Many modules offer alternative examination dates in the same semester. Use these to organise your examination phase individually - whether compact or with longer intervals. Please note: These are not resit dates, but options. It is not intended to take both dates in one semester.

Check registration: After each examination registration, check in the system whether you have registered for the desired and correct examination date (under ‘Examination dates’). You can also visually check whether exam dates overlap in the schedule planner in KLIPS.

Know the difference between a module and a course: A module can contain several courses. Example 1: the BM Mathematics has the courses lecture, tutorial and tutorial, which must be taken individually. Module (CM Mathematics) and lecture (Mathematical Methods) also have different titles in this example; in some modules, however, the module and course titles are identical. Example 2: A module can have several seminars as courses. You have the choice and must complete a distinct number of lecture in order to complete the module - not all of them.
