Guide for new students - Summer 2024

12 If you wish to change your password, please go to the Service Portal or contact the IT Service Centre (see under Contacts). After logging in to Friedolin, the navigation menu contains additional options (light grey background). Being a part of your personal account, these options are not publicly accessible. The top menu point is ›Apply for modules/Cancel application‹. This function allows you to register for modules in your study programme. When you click on this field for the first time, a text is displayed informing you about the general procedure for registering as well as about deadlines. After that, you can select the modules listed for your study programme in the module catalogue, view all the information on them and apply for a place in the module. After logging in, this is also possible using the ›Course catalogue‹ function. We recommend you to use the ›Apply for modules/Cancel application‹ feature, as this section only lists the relevant modules for your study programme from the very start. Moreover, your lists are also taken into account in selecting modules. For example, if you only have to register for one of five possible modules, you can mark these modules with your priorities from 1 to 5. Friedolin takes into account the priorities entered when assigning places, providing there are free places available in the courses for which you have applied. Please only use the course catalogue if your study programme is not yet accessible under »Desired modules« or if you want to attend an elective courses, e.g. a language course or an Excel course. The ›Courses for students (languages, software, general academic skills)‹ section lists a range of interesting courses where you can acquire additional skills. Selected modules are automatically displayed in the ›My schedules‹ menu item, so that you can view the resultant/current weekly schedule online at any time, print it, and save it as a PDF file. This allows you to always have an overview of when you have to be where, with whom, and for what course—something which also helps you to avoid any possible clashes. The menu items ›My lectures‹ and ›My module descriptions‹ once again compile all information on your selected modules, and on the module catalogue for your study programme. This includes the menu item ›Apply for exams‹ which works in a similar way to ›Apply for modules/Cancel application‹. Please note that you have to register for courses and examinations on your own. Generally, registering for a course does not mean that you are registered for the examination automatically.
