Most courses consist of lecture (teaching) and a seminar (practice). During first classes teacher usually explains requirements of the course. For some courses, attendance or participation in projects is taken into account for final evaluation. Students are responsible to find out requirements of each course they are enrolled to. They have to choose suitable courses to avoid timetable conflicts.
In the UIS there is a section My studies → Student’s portal → Registration / Enrollment where you can maintain the courses you are enrolled to. Below the list of courses is a “List of Errors” with a green or red dot (“State”) next to the course name. Requirements for follow-ups/other errors do not apply to exchange students. Students are able to maintain only the courses with green dots. For maintenance of courses with red dots please come to FBE IRO.
