• Under Module you can register or deregister the modules and courses.
  (Tips: Modules combine courses and exams. In Selma, modules can be recognized under the gray-blue rectangle. Courses and exams both have a white background.)
• Under Prüfungen (Exams) you can register for exams. This is very important since you can only take part in those exams, which you have already registered in Selma!
  Under Results can you view your results of study and exam.
• Under Stundenplan (Timetable) you can find a calendar that shows the courses and exam timetable
• Under Bewerbung (application) you can apply for a new or further degree.
• Under Studienorganisation (study-organization) you can find registration, absence, enrolment cancellation and others. (e.g. change of name, reimbursement of semester fees)
• Under Documents you can download documents / notices / certificates. (e.g. certificate of enrollment, certificate according to §9 BAFöG, certificate of study progress and notification of admission)
• Under Nachrichten (Messages) you can see all the messages that you have received, which from teachers, employees of the examination office, the study office and the Selma system.
• Under Account you can see and change your personal data (e.g. postal address and name).
  Attention: Check your postal address before every semester begins!!
• under the Vorlesungsverzeichnis (course directory) you can see all courses info, but you cannot register here.

The complete re-registration (Rückmeldung) to the new semester is the condition for the registration to courses.
The error message means that either the semester amount has not yet been (fully) transferred or the Enrollment Office is missing other documents. If you think you have done everything for a proper re-registration, you have to contact the enrollment office of the TU Dresden. No one at the faculty can help you with this or enroll you in courses or the like. Without re-registration, there is no proper enrollment and therefore no insurance coverage for events (excursions!).

• You can only apply for or quit exams and pre-exams during a certain registration period!
  (for this you should pay attention to the semester schedule! To find the schedule, please click the following link:https://tu-dresden.de/bu/architektur/studium/lehrveranstaltungen and watch your messages in Selma!)

Notes: What is the difference between Prüfungsleistung (exams) and studienbegleitenden Prüfungsleistungen (required pre-exams)?

• In many courses you need to finish studienbegleitenden Prüfungsleistungen (required pre-exams) before the Prüfungsleistung (final exams) (e.g. exam, oral examinations, or other examination at the end of the semester)
• The periods of registration for exams and required pre-exams are different! Don’t forget to register both!

• In selma > under Prüfungen > Anmelden/ Abmelden

No, you don't have to.
But we recommend it. Only those who study according to a timetable are guaranteed by the faculty that their studies can be completed within the standard period of study.
If you compile your own timetable, you must pay attention to the following aspects, among others:

• Freedom from overlap between courses
• Fulfillment of the content requirements
• Observing the recommended number of credit points per academic year
• Planning of the study time by postponements etc.
