- 9) I don't have an enrolment number yet, can I still register for a language course or a placement test?Hide
-
If you do not yet have a matriculation number, this means that your enrolment is probably not yet complete. Please contact the Student Administration Office (Studierendenkanzlei) about this. Only then can you register for our language courses.
- 10) Will I definitely get a place on the course?Hide
-
No. Places are allocated on a first come, first served basis. If the course is fully booked and you only receive a place on the waiting list (WL), you will move up the line if/when a student with a firm place (FP) deregisters. Students who are only on the waiting list may NOT attend the course.
- 11) I can't find my desired course on CMlife, what's wrong?Hide
-
If you cannot find a course on CMlife, it usually means that this course is not required for your degree program.
If you can see a course on CMlife but cannot register, it may mean that do not have the required language level (taken the placement test) or attended the previous course in the program.
- 12) Do I have to deregister if I cannot attend a course I have registered for?Hide
-
Deregistration is only possible during the registration period (i.e. until the end of the second week of the semester). Students can only move up from the waiting list during this period. Once registration closes, it is not possible to deregister from a course. If you drop out of a course, "X-5,0" will be entered as your result in CMlife.
- 13) Can I attend a language course without taking the final exam?Hide
-
Technically, you can take a course without taking the exam. However, by doing so, you may be depriving another student of a place in the course and thus the opportunity to earn credits for the successful completion of their degree. If you do not take exam, you will not be able to take the follow-up course. In addition, you will receive no credit and ''X-5,0'' will be entered as your result in CMlife.
Course attendance and course completion (examination)
- 14) Is there an attendance requirement?Hide
-
Yes, attendance is compulsory in all language courses. You will find further information here.

- 16) What happens if I drop out of the course?Hide
-
If you do not complete a course, ''X-5,0" will be entered as your course result in CMlife. You will not receive credits or a language certificate for courses you do not complete.
- 17) Do I have to register for the language course exam?Hide
-
No. When you register for the course you are automatically registered for the exam final exam.
- 18) How many ECTS or credit points do I get for a language course?Hide
-
