How to register

The registration in / deregistration from examinations can take place up to 14 days before the examination but no longer than that. After that deadline, it’s no longer possible to register for examinations and you will no longer be able to take part in the examination.

Further Instructions

  • For each module in EUCS, students need to register for the following things:
    • Registration in each of the subjects in the module
    • Registration in the exam in each of the modules
    • Registration in the Module exam

·Example: EU-Law

  • students need to register for the exam in the subject and for the exam in the module (even though there is only one exam in practice)
  • The exam in the module always ends in 500, which means that the exam number that should be there is 680111500 (module exam) together with the number of the exam in the subject, that is 680111100.
  • Registration in only one of these modules is not sufficient for students to be considered registered for the exam.

Example: Research Methods

  • there should also be two registrations… One finishing with 100 and one finishing with 500.

· Example: Society and Economy

  • Students necessarily need to register for 3 classes to be able to attend the course, that is, for Society, for Economy and for the Tutorial Society & Economy. And then, when it comes to registering for exams, students need to register for the exam of Society, for the exam of Economy, for the exam of the Tutorial Society & Economy and for the Module exam – this module exam should also finish with the number 500. These are 4 exam registrations in total only for this module. Students need to register for everything for the registration to be valid.

Consequences

  • Students should register for subjects and for exams
  • Students who not officially registered for exams/essays should not be allowed to take an exam
  • Students who were not registered for an exam cannot receive a grade
  • Students who don’t show up for the exam or don’t hand in their essays receive a 5,0 – they get the result "did not show up". They need to retake the exam the next time it is offered.

Semester Re-Enrollment

Semester Re-Enrollment

Every semester, students who wish to continue their studies at Europa-Universität Flensburg must re-enroll for the upcoming semester. The re-enrollment periods are:  

  • For every upcoming Spring Semester:  Jan 1 – Jan 31
  • For every upcoming Fall Semester: June 1 – June 30

The enrollment period is a cut-off deadline. If you fail to enroll during the enrollment period, you will receive a written warning that the university will cancel your registration unless you re-enroll by an extended deadline. Failure to enroll by the extended deadline will result in the cancellation of your registration as a student at EUF.

Spring Semester 2024 233,60 Euro
Fall Semester 2024/25 fee 276,90 Euro

You are required to pay the fees for the Association for Student Affairs [Studentenwerk Schleswig-Holstein e. V.], the student union [Studierendenschaft], and the semester public transport pass during the enrollment periods listed above in one lump sum (see current amount) into the account of the Association for Student Affairs:

Förde-Sparkasse Kiel
BIC-/SWIFT-Code: NOLADE21KIE
IBAN-Nummer: DE68 2105 0170 0025 0018 50

Please remember to allow sufficient time for the transfer of funds: The semester fee must be credited to the account before the end of the enrollment period. Be aware that your payment might not be received on time if you authorize it only on the last day of this period.

When you transfer funds, please be sure to list both of the following in "transaction comment" field [Verwendungszweck]:

  • Your six-digit student ID number (example: 123456)
  • The semester for which you are paying the re-enrollment fee (example: Fall Semester 2022/2023)

Very important: you must list this information in the transaction comment field when you make the transfer. If you do not list it, we cannot properly credit the payment to your registration. This will delay your re-enrollment.

If your semester fee has not been credited to the correct account before the published deadline, the re-enrollment must be done manually. For this, you will have to present the registrar's office with proof that you made the payment (this can be an account statement or a stamped bank transfer form). In addition, you will have to pay a late re-enrollment fee and present similar evidence of having done so. This delayed re-enrollment is only possible before the deadline stated in the written warning you will receive if you fail to re-enroll during the designated period.

Only in exceptional circumstances and with good reason (for example, if you fail a final examination after the enrollment period has passed) will you be able to re-enroll up to four weeks after the beginning of the semester – that is, until the end of March or end of September.

Please pay the late re-enrollment administration fee of 25,00 euro to LKSH by depositing the fee amount into the following account:

Deutschen Bundesbank
IBAN: DE82 2000 0000 0020 2015 77
BIC/SWIFT: MARKDEF 1200

Please write the following into the transaction comment line: 8723-11101+your student ID number+ and the semester for which you are paying the fee, e.g. "8723-11101, 123456, late re-enrollment, Fall Semester 2023/24"

Please submit your proof of having paid both the above fee and the semester fee in person to the registrar's office.
You cannot pay either of these fees in cash.

Examinations

  • Students need to register for examinations, in case they want to take them and students need to de-register from examinations in case they don't want to take them.
  • Registration and de-registration are always possible until up to 14 days before the exam date. The valid exam date for the purpose of registration/de-registration is the one mentioned in Studiport.
  • Students who are not registered in an examination are not allowed to take the examination. In case they take the examination, and it is corrected, there is no way to insert the grade in the system, so the student will have to repeat the examination the next time the module is offered.
  • Students who are registered and don't attend the exam fail the exam automatically and need to wait for the next time the exam is offered to register for it.
  • Students can only fail each examination 3 times. After that students are not allowed to take the module anymore. If the module is a mandatory module in this study program, students are not allowed to complete the study program. Furthermore, students are now allowed to complete the same study program in any other university in Germany.
  • Students who are registered for an examination and cannot attend the examination because they are sick at the day of the examination need to hand in a doctor's note to the examinations office on the same day of the exam. More information and forms can be found here under "Notification of sickness".
  • The same rules apply if the examination has the form of a paper/essay. In this case, the doctor's note needs to explicitly mention from when until when you will be sick. The date for handing in the work will be extended in the same amount of says as your sickness.
  • If students are correctly registered for an examination and fail that examination (5,0), they are allowed to re-take that examination at the re-take date (normally within the same semester as the first attempt). If the failed examination consists of an exam and the re-take date falls within the re-take examination week, then students need to register in the re-take examination normally using Studiport.
  • If the failed examination consists of a paper or an essay or if the failed written examination is to be re-taken at some other point that not the re-take examination week, then students will need to contact the examinations' office to register for the re-take examination. The same 14-day deadline for registration still applies when possible. 
  • Contact of the examinations' office <spa.iim-PleaseRemoveIncludingDashes-@uni-flensburg.de> (Please use your university email, send your matriculation number and the name and number of the examination you want to re-take.)
  • It is the students' responsibility to correctly register and de-register from exams within the deadlines.
  • For questions about examination dates as mentioned in Studiport and about the re-take dates, please contact the EUCS secretariat <eucs.sec@uni-flensburg.de>

FAQs

I still haven't received my student documents for next semester. What can I do?

Here are some of the questions that need to be asked in this situation:
 

  • Did you hand in all your documents with the matriculation in the beginning of your first semester?
  • Did some document expire meanwhile? And if so, do you need to hand in a new one?
  • Is your insurance still valid or does it need some sort of renovation?
  • Did you pay the semester fees in time? And if so, did you correctly indicate your name and student number in the payment slip?
  • Did you change your address meanwhile and forgot to update it in Studiport?

These can all be things that went wrong. So please check all of these things beforehand and if something needs to be updated and then take it to the secretariat in HEL 018 or send an email to studsek-PleaseRemoveIncludingDashes-@uni-flensburg.de

If you think that all is ok, then you need to go to the secretariat (HEL 018)  or send an email to studsek-PleaseRemoveIncludingDashes-@uni-flensburg.de and ask them directly what is wrong. It is better to go there directly than to send an email.

Here is the link to the office hours of the Student Secretariat.

From 2020 onward, you should expect to find your semester ticket in Studiport by selecting My Functions --> Administration of Studies --> Academic Certificates --> Studienausweis (PDF)

tration of Studies" --> "Academic Certificates" --> Studienausweis (PDF).

I need a proof that I am a student in Flensburg. How to get it?

The proof that you are a student can be obtained directly by you in Studiport, by clicking in:

Administration of Studies --> Academic Certificates

and then by downloading a document called "Immatrikulationsbescheinigung" (= proof of matriculation)

Every semester, after you pay your fees the old one will disappear and the one corresponding to the new semester will replace it.

In Germany it is important that you keep all of these documents, just in case the administration asks you for them. So, download the respective certificate once a semester and print it or keep it safe in a folder, just in case.

If you neglect to do that and you need any past certificate, you need to write an email to the student secretariat indicating which past certificates you need (indication of the respective semester) + your student number + this email needs to be sent from your official university email.

You can contact the Student Secretariat directly in HEL 018 or via email (studsek@uni-flensburg.de)

I'm in the 6th semester, do I need to keep paying semester fees?

Semester fees need to be paid as long as students still have examinations to complete. No examination can be completed by people who don't have student status and if they are, the grades cannot be inserted in Studiport anymore because the specific student account is blocked.

Students in the 6th semester need to pay semester fees, and therefore enroll in a 7th semester if they don't plan to hand in the thesis during the 6th semester but on the 7th semester or further down the line. This is valid even if the thesis is handed in one day after the end of the 6th semester.

If you didn't plan to extend your thesis writing time and for some reason need to - e.g. illness - it will be possible to pay the semester fees, as per requirement, and with an additional fine on top.

But the main message here is that you need to be a student when you hand in the thesis and that will be your last day of your bachelor. The correction time doesn't matter anymore. So, if you hand in the thesis at the end of the 6th semester and it is only corrected in the new semester, your studies are considered finished on the date of handing in the thesis.

I am not registered for an exam. Now what?

It is important that you register for an examination until 14 days before the examination. After that, it is no longer possible for you to register and as a consequence, you are not allowed to take the exam. If you do, it will not be corrected. The same is valid for the writing of papers.

If you have registered correctly for all exams in time, it is important that you get the proof that you are correctly registered, just in case some technical error appears. In this case, you can prove that you did your registration correctly.

You can get this proof in Studiport by clicking on:

Administration of examinations -->  Info on registered examinations --> by clicking on the small (i) next to the name of this study program --> and by clicking the PDF button on the left corner of your screen, after the list of exams you are registered for.

Please save this PDF well, just in case something happens. Without it, you cannot prove that you were registered, in case there is a technical or any other issue with your registration.

My thesis supervisor doesn't reply, what do I do?

First, send another email. Lecturers receive many emails and they might have overseen yours, so please try again (at different times of the week, for example, not always on Sunday) to avoid that your email gets lost amidst the wave of emails that they receive. An email at the right time is more likely to be read.

If that doesn't work, try checking when the lecturer has office hours by researching them on the university website. Try contacting them either physically or per telephone during the office hours.

As a last resort, you can try contacting the EUCS head of studies to explain the situation and see what to do in your specific case.

When do I fail an examination?

  • When you performed in a way which is insufficient for you to pass
  • or when you are correctly registered for an examination, and you don't show up / don't complete your task in due time.
  • A fail is always graded with 5,0.
  • If you fail because of insufficient performance, you can re-take the examination in the re-take period.
  • You are only entitled to fail an exam twice and to have three attempts at the exam (the first time, the first re-take and the second re-take). After that, you need to ask for a special permission, which might not be granted to you. And after that, if you fail, you can no longer complete the module. If it is a mandatory module, you can no longer complete the study program in this university or any similar study program in Germany.

I have failed an examination, now what?

If you have failed an examination, you will need to re-take the examination at some point.

For you to be able to re-take the examination, you need to register for the re-examination. The possibility to register for the re-take should be available in Studiport a few days to a few weeks after you receive the grade. Please check regularly.

Something else that you should do to be able successfully pass your re-take, you should ask the lecturer for feedback on why you failed the examination in the first place. Only by getting this feedback will you be able to understand where you did well and where there is room for improvement. This feedback will help you study and prepare for the re-take examination, so that you are successful in the re-take.

I am going abroad, do I still need to pay semester fees?

Yes, you do. When you complete the semester abroad with an Erasmus+ agreement or in any of our partner universities, you can only do it because you are our student, otherwise you would not have the same advantages when going abroad. For that reason and because the semester abroad is also a part of your studies, you need to continue being registered as a student with us throughout that time.

For that reason, you need to pay the semester fees.

You might however get the chance to ask for a refund of part of the semester fees already paid. That is done directly with AStA.

How do I get my Semester Ticket?

All questions around the Semester Ticket are given by the AStA of the Europa-Universität Flensburg

Can I get a refund of the semester fees?

It is possible to have the costs of the semester ticket reimbursed under certain conditions, such as a semester abroad, for example. In the event of exmatriculation, it is also possible for the AStA of the Europa-Universität Flensburg to refund your student union fee. Please note there are deadlines in both cases.

All information about the topic is given to you by the AStA of the Europa-Universität Flensburg.

Can I be exempted from the Semester fees?

According to the Higher Education Act of the state of Schleswig-Holstein (Section 74, Paragraph 2, Sentence 3), students can be exempted from the obligation to pay a share of the student body fee under certain conditions.

All information about the topic is given to you by the AStA of the Europa-Universität Flensburg.

Autonomous Project

Notes about the autonomous project in the 5th semester. (10 ECTS)

Please note that this module is completed by the execution of an "autonomous project". This means that there are no classes scheduled for that and it is up to you to address the respective supervisor when you have a project to propose and schedule an individual meeting with her/him.

However, there is a course called "Reflection on Projects", that you need to register for and attend during the semester, in order to complete the full module and receive a grade and your 10 ECTS.

Once students decide on the autonomous project that they want to do, they can start preparing the necessary steps to complete it.

Steps that need to be completed:

  • Write an exposé logically explaining the project to be completed. This is a proposal of the work to be completed.
  • Present the exposé to the lecturer responsible for the type of project to be completed (please see the list below). They will give students feedback and define the way that they can supervise the work.
  • Write a portfolio – this is a step-by-step documentation of the project + reflection/self-evaluation of the work done.
  • The students need to complete their final project and present it in a manner previously established with the supervisor.

Moodle - Information

Access to Moodle courses

Please pay attention to the fact your access to moodle courses is blocked at the end of the semester in which the course was offered. This means that if you want to have access to the information on your moodle course, past the end of the semester, you need to download all the information during the semester in which you are taking the course.
This is especially relevant if you want to re-take examinations in the second attempt date, as you will no longer have access to the course materials.
A diligent student makes sure to have access to the course materials when they need to use it. It is the obligation of the student to take care of this, as no one else will be able to take care of this for them once the access to the materials is closed.

Emails to lecturers

E-Mails to lecturers and to the university administration are formal emails. Here are some points to consider:

1.       This is a formal email, therefore greeting like the ones you use on social media are not to be used. So, please don't greet your lecturers with "hi", "Hello", "How are you doing", etc.

2.       The correct way to address your lecturers in an email are:
- Dear Mr. Smith (last name)
- Dear Ms. Smith (last name)
- Dear Catherine Smith (first and last name), if you want to write a gender-neutral email.

3.       Please always be cordial. Don’t demand answers. Be polite and use words like "please" and "thank you".

4.       Don’t just ask questions out of the blue without any context, as lecturers have many students, and they will not remember the conversation that you had with them without you reminding them about the content of the conversation. So, instead of something like "I would like to write my paper on the topic that we discussed (2 weeks ago)" try something like "I would like to write my paper on the topic X (describe the topic in detail)".

5.       Don’t just finish your email at the end of a random sentence. Always finish your email with something like "Best regards", "Kind regards", "Best wishes", or something similar, and please write your first and last name at the end of the email and your student number.

6.       Please always contact your lecturers or the university administration using your student email, always sign the email with your name and write your student number.
