Notes

General rule:

Registration for and withdrawal from modules, courses, and exams are only possible if you are enrolled in the respective degree program (re-enrolled or on leave of absence).
When selecting your courses, refer to the sample course schedules and the academic regulations for your degree program. Make sure to choose courses that do not overlap.
Bachelor’s and Master’s students must first register for the module and then for the associated courses or sections.
Elective Modules: You may only take elective modules up to the maximum number of credit points allowed. Additional elective modules are only permitted as supplementary modules. If you do not wish to take a module, please withdraw from it in a timely manner.
Allocation of Seats: Seats are generally allocated based on the time of registration.
Selection Process: If a selection process is required for courses, set a priority for all courses. Under no circumstances should you select “Exclude” or “No Preference,” as you may otherwise not be assigned a spot. Assignment is handled automatically via Selma.
Courses Offered by Other Faculties: Courses offered by other faculties are organized by those faculties, which is why registration deadlines may vary.
English Language Seminars / TUDIAS: Registration takes place via OPAL. For more information, visit: https://www.sprachausbildung.tu-dresden.de/
