* For programs that require course registration via PULS, all registrations that are completed until the day of the first admission are treated equally, i.e., acceptance into the desired course is not related to the time of your registration. Students in their first semester of study are advised to register only after the orientation meeting. If you study in a program that does not manage registration via PULS, please contact the applicable institute / program.
