Course Attendance and Cancellations<br />

For all <strong>ERIM</strong> courses full (100%) course attendance is required. If you are unable<br />

to attend a class due to illness or other serious circumstances, it is your<br />

responsibility to notify the teacher as soon as possible. This also applies to skills<br />

courses, such as English.<br />

If you have to drop a particular course, you should inform the teacher of your<br />

decision and reasons as soon as possible. In addition, you must also cancel your<br />

registration officially by sending an e‐mail to the Doctoral Programme Assistant.<br />

Please consider that the number of course participants has a direct effect on the<br />

financial course costs. Therefore, please make sure your course registrations and<br />

cancellations are on time. If you register for external courses without official<br />

approval you will be held responsible for any related financial costs incurred by<br />

<strong>ERIM</strong>.<br />

At the beginning of the academic year, all new <strong>ERIM</strong> doctoral candidates will<br />

receive name cards from the <strong>ERIM</strong> Doctoral Office. You must bring your card to<br />

all <strong>ERIM</strong> classes.<br />

Course Grades<br />

You are obliged to sit the exams for all courses included in your TSA (provided<br />

that examination is part of the course).<br />

Course grades are communicated to the students by the teacher of the course,<br />

not by the <strong>ERIM</strong> Doctoral Office. If you have not received your grade on time or<br />

have questions related to your grade, please contact the course teacher directly.<br />

Course Administration<br />

<strong>ERIM</strong> keeps track of your course progress in its archive and database. For all<br />

external courses, it is your responsibility to provide <strong>ERIM</strong> with a copy of the<br />

certificates obtained (including your grades) on time.<br />

It is also important that you keep good track of your progress and its<br />

administration yourself. You must keep a copy of your ISP plan for your own<br />

records and note any changes in it. Please note that <strong>ERIM</strong> has to approve any<br />

changes/corrections in your Individual Study Plan in advance.<br />

You are kindly requested to keep a file with an overview of your course progress:<br />
