YOUR STUDIES Hints from Foxes to Rabbits
Hints from Foxes to Rabbits
Re-Registration For each following semester enrolled at a university the students have
to re-register. The procedure always happens in January and June (see schedule on backside
of your student card) and occurs quite comfortable via the debit information you grant
each semester. Changes can be made by using the QIS-function. Our hint: Always record
the date in your mobile and activate the reminder-function! Keep your contact details
(address, room number (applies especially to student residence halls), phone number and
email) especially during the re-registering procedure up to date.
Register for Exams Log in to the QIS-System if you want to register for exams. Authenticate
with your matriculation number and your current NDS-password and choose the
exams you want to participate in. It is no problem to register for more exams than you
finally write - A withdrawal from the registration can be made simply by not appearing on
the exam date. Normally this procedure does not involve a grade of 5 at the initial try.
If you do not participate in an exam at the first possible chance, you automatically will be
registered for this test at the following semester. In case of not show up you will be graded
5! So even if you do not know much, you better come around and at least have a look on
the questions. You will get an idea of what the test is about. At the end of the deadline
to register for exams you can have a look at the qis system to find out if everything has
gone its right way – if not, immediately go to the examination office (see page 28) and let
it rectify. Otherwise the complete plan of your studies could be messed-up!
Illness During the Testing Period For the unlikely case you suffer sudden dizziness, nausea,
diarrhoea or even worse during the testing period you have to consult a doctor and
get your disease certified.
Important! The certificate must contain explicitly that you were not able to participate in
the exam at the specific date and hand it to the examination board of your faculty.
Study/Internship Abroad If you want to go to foreign country it is advisable to start planning
at least one year in advance. There is a lot to organize: VISA, valid passport, vaccinations,
money, scholarships and contacting foreign companies to name the most important
issues. Again, we refer you to Mr Bomke and the International Office (akademisches
Auslandsamt).
Presence It may sound absurd but it is worth attending the lectures. Even if these hours
are spent in sleepy haze you will record some things and thus don’t have to spend time
consuming hours to rework the lectures at home. Besides, you can imagine better on
which contents the docent will focus at the final test.
