Enrolment Periods Winter Term 2026/27

Important: Course registrations can only be made within the corresponding enrollment phases.

The course catalogue in KLIPS will be published on 21th July 2026

All courses that you can take within your degree programme can then be viewed in KLIPS.

The first enrolment period takes place from 22th July 2026 to 13th August 2026

In the first enrolment phase, most courses with limited participation are taken.

The publication of the allocation results will take place on 25th August 2026. After publication of the results, your prioritisation will be deleted.

The second enrollment period is taking place from 02th to 29th September 2026

The majority of all courses are registered for during the second registration phase. Please note that courses with limited participation—usually seminars—can often be registered for as early as the first registration phase, and by the second registration phase, only a few remaining spots may still be available.

The results will be published on 07th August 2026. After publication of the results, your prioritisation will be deleted.

Important: You can only receive one seminar place per module. If, for example, you can choose from four seminars (= four courses) within a module, you can only receive a fixed place for one seminar in this module. The same applies to tutorial and exercise groups within a module. In such modules, we recommend choosing and then prioritizing several courses in order to increase the chance of being allocated a place in this module. In the case of modules with limited participation, there is no guarantee that you will receive a fixed place.

The 3rd enrolment phase (formerly the allocation of remaining places) for courses of the WiSo-Faculty starts on 09th October 2026

For courses from other faculties already the allocation of remaining places already starts on 9th April 2026. The allocation of remaining places runs till the end of the term. 

During the enrollment period of remaining places, only remaining places from individual events or individual groups of events (e.g. tutorials) will be allocated. If there are still free places in some events, these will be made available for registration in KLIPS 2.0.
You will be directly admitted to the events during the allocation of the remaining places (the "First-Come-First-Serve"-principle is applied). You can view your admission in your KLIPS area under "Courses". With an admission, you will normally become a course member of the corresponding ILIAS course within one to two working days, which you will then find on your "personal desk".

Important: Changes to the Enrolment Phases for the Department of Sociology and Social Psychology (DSS) and the Research Institute for Political Science

Starting next semester, the enrolment periods for courses with limited participation – such as seminars, advanced seminars, and colloquia – will be restructured to ensure a more transparent and fair allocation process. In the 1st enrolment phase, you first register for your preferred courses. After the results are published, please check whether you wish to keep your allocated place. If not, make sure to withdraw from your fixed place so that other students can be considered in the 2nd enrolment phase.

In the 2nd enrolment phase, all courses will be reopened. You may adjust your registration as long as places are still available. If you already hold a fixed place within a module and wish to switch to another seminar, you must withdraw from your current place beforehand. If you do not withdraw, your original place will remain assigned to you.

After both enrolment phases have ended, no further admission is possible. Requests for late enrollment via email cannot be considered. Both phases are not first‑come‑first‑serve; course places are allocated according to the established criteria of each course.

For lectures, exercises, and tutorials, the existing process remains unchanged. These courses will continue to run through the 2nd and 3rd enrolment phase. The 3rd enrolment phase (formerly the remaining‑places phase) will continue to operate on a first‑come‑first‑serve basis.

Important: Registering for a course does not mean registering for an examination. Each exam registration must be completed individually. Please note the individual examination dates. Please also take a look at our subpage on exam organization.
