Missed the seminar selection again and not yet subscribed to the calendar? You'll find all the information you need in the section on study organisation/schedule preview.

Registration for courses takes place via the HIO system. The choice of seminar is independent of the subsequent examination registration, which is a legally binding process. For courses with a limited number of participants, such as seminars with several parallel groups, students must prioritise their preferred seminars as much as possible. In the event of overbooking, the system decides by means of an automated lottery procedure to ensure equal opportunities. In courses without a limit on the number of participants, enrolments are made independently and without prioritisation in order to ensure considerable planning security for all participants. Students should only choose courses that are scheduled in the degree programme pathway and may not bring forward modules for which they are not yet scheduled.

Current time periods for choosing courses can be found in the schedule. A detailed step-by-step guide to choosing a seminar can be found in the PDF.

You can find further information and information deviating from this on the seminar selection page.

• The campus management system (HIO) makes the selection automatically, so that no direct external influence on the seminar selection is possible. The results are binding for all students.
• Requests will only be processed if they are sent from your Stud.HN e-mail address.
• Please always state your student registration number in the enquiry.
• Decide in favour of one of the 4 options
