3.3 My Modules Click the An-/Abmeldung (Register/Deregister) link to show an overview of the modules you have already booked. If there are multiple registration possibilities (e.g. Bachelor and Master) you will be able to choose or select the completed Module for your study program. When you first visit this page, there are no entries in the list. You have the option of displaying a legend that explains the symbols shown in the table ( Legende einblenden, top right). There is also a pop-up window for notes on using the system ( Benutzungshinweise, top right). Click Details for information on the status of courses and exams for which you have registered in the context of this module. This opens a pop-up window. You can click on the pencil symbol to edit the relevant module registration by deleting courses or exams that have already been chosen within that module or selecting new courses or exams for the module. If this semester is the first time you have registered for a particular module, you can also drop the module completely. If you have already registered for a particular module in past semesters, you can no longer drop the module yourself. Click neues Modul wählen (Choose new module) to start the registration process. CMA Juni 15 Seite 6/17 CM Online Registration
You can use the small arrows shown in the column headers to change the order in which the modules are sorted within the table 4 Choosing a new module After you have clicked on neues Modul wählen (Choose new module), you will see a list of the modules recommended for your study program. If you uncheck the box labeled nur empfohlene Module anzeigen (Show recommended modules only), modules for higher semesters are displayed as well. Registering for modules intended for higher semesters is, however, recommended only if you meet the entrance requirements which are described in the examination regulations for your study program. Click on Details to display the exams and courses offered for the relevant module. You can also reduce the available modules to your core subject / major (Kernfach) or your module offering(s) / minor(s) (Modulangebote). Please note: Modules for which no courses are offered in the current semester cannot be selected here. CMA Juni 15 Seite 7/17 CM Online Registration
4.1 Filter and sorting functions In some study programs, the list of modules available to choose from can be very long. You can use the filter function to reduce the list by entering a character string (without an asterisk (*) at the beginning or end). The individual columns can be sorted in ascending or descending order. 4.2 Choosing courses in a new module As soon as you have used the pencil to select a module, you will see a table with the specific courses offered. A module generally consists of several abstract courses, such as (1) lecture (Vorlesung) and (2) lab/section/seminar (Übung/Seminar), etc. The abstract courses in a module are shown in blue. In the example shown here, there are two abstract parts, with one course selected in each. Please note: For each abstract part of a module, you can register for one course only CMA Juni 15 Seite 8/17 CM Online Registration
4.2.1 Choosing a preference for courses with limited enrollment (restricted courses) Example: The course you wish to select is a course with a limited number of placements. During the preference booking period (Präferenzzeitraum), you cannot register directly for these restricted courses; what you can do instead is record your preferences. These preferences are then saved for registration purposes. Only after the end of the preference booking period, on the last Friday before courses start, the preference bookings are analyzed and courses assigned. In extreme cases, you may not even be assigned to any of your classes. As a result, you have the option of entering preferences for multiple courses when dealing with courses with limited placements. After the placements are allocated, the registration period continues until the third Friday after the start of classes. If, after the placements in the course are allocated, placements in restricted courses become available, you can register for those placements directly. There are three ways to delete your preference: by unchecking the box for the relevant course, by selecting keine Teilnahme (No participation) in the drop-down menu of preference choices, or by clicking on the trashcan. Then there are three ways to select other courses: by clicking on a preference in the drop-down menu, checking the box at the start of the line, or clicking the diskette symbol at the end of that line. Please note: If you use the checkbox or diskette to register, the course is saved as keine Präferenz (No preference). Example: choosing a preference 4.2.2 Directly booking courses without limited enrollment (non-restricted courses) If a course does not have a limited number of placements, you can register for that course directly in the system. CMA Juni 15 Seite 9/17 CM Online Registration
Please note: If it is possible to select either restricted or non-restricted courses in one part of the module and you click on a non-restricted course, you will be registered for that course only. Preference bookings for restricted courses will not be saved. Example: direct registration 4.3 Confirming your choice of courses Click Weiter (Next) to see an overview of the courses you have selected. Now you can confirm these courses by clicking Bestätigen (Confirm). CMA Juni 15 Seite 10/17 CM Online Registration
4.4 Finishing your module registration Once you click Bestätigen (Confirm), you will see another overview of your registration in the system. In this example, the student has selected two non-restricted courses (courses without limited enrollment), so the student is registered for those courses directly in the system. Preferences are shown with the registration status Vorgemerkt (Prebooked). Please note: If you do not choose any courses, you will be registered only for the module itself and the relevant module exam. You can correct this anytime up until the end of the registration period by registering for the relevant courses. 5 Changing your choice of courses within a module If you wish to change your choice of courses within a module, please click on the pencil symbol. The next screen shows you the courses for which you are currently registered, including the relevant exams. If these are exams for parts of a module, you can display the exam associated with that course by moving the mouse over the following symbol: CMA Juni 15 Seite 11/17 CM Online Registration
