GREETING FROM THE DEAN
Dear StudentsThe start of the spring semester is coming closer and you certainly have some questions with regard to your studies at the Faculty of Economics and Management (WF). The first section of this message is specifically aimed at new students. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you and I look forward to seeing you soon in person. This issue also contains important information for students in the higher semesters. Please read them carefully. Our good wishes to you all for an excellent start to the new semester! Warm regards FOR OUR NEW STUDENTS
Induction into study organisation at WFStudents who embark on a study programme obviously have lots of questions. With that in mind, we organise an induction event for new bachelor and master students of Economics and Management on 18 February 2020. You will be given information about the university building and the planning and organisation of your study programme with plenty of opportunity to ask questions. This will be followed by a welcome aperitif together with the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. More information about the event Communication via e-mailWhen you enrol for your study programme you are given a studmail account. Electronic mail from the university goes to your studmail address only. The log-in information you will need to access the UniPortal and OLAT also goes to your studmail address. Please check your e-mail regularly to make sure you have all information in good time. COURSES
Registering for courses via OLATBefore attending your chosen courses, you must register via the e-learning platform OLAT. Only students who have registered for the courses will receive information from lecturers by e-mail and access to course materials. It is within the responsibility of the students to check, whether courses are eligible for crediting to study programmes. Use the ‟Study Programme” search function in the Course Catalogue to see which courses are eligible for credit. If a course is not eligible, students may not complete any course work or earn any ECTS points in the study programme. In case of questions, please contact our academic student advisors. For tutorial groups, a separate OLAT registration is required. Places are limited and will be assigned on a “first come, first served” basis OLAT registration is open from 3 to 28 February 2020. Guide to Registering for Courses via OLAT KSF & TF courses: Registration via UniPortal at start of the semesterIf you, as a student of Economics & Management plan to attend courses offered by other faculties as an optional compulsory or optional subject, please make sure you know their registration requirements!
