Organizing your studies
Online platforms
Your studies are organized and managed via various online platforms to which you have access with your university user ID. The most important platforms are Stud.IP (registration for courses, access to digital teaching), OPIuM (registration for exams at the end of each semester) and your own email account (used for university-wide communication, e.g. with lecturers). The platforms can all be selected and used individually, or all platforms can be accessed together via MyUOS.

Documents
One of the most important documents for your studies is the examination regulations. There are general examination regulations which govern the basic framework conditions for studying (e.g. assessment of examinations, calculation of grades) and which apply to all students. In addition, you should take a close look at the subject-specific examination regulations and the associated module handbook for your subject and refer to them again and again during the course of your studies. This will tell you exactly which modules and courses you have to take and which specific examinations you have to complete for your subject. Your transcript of records and grades are managed by the relevant examination office.
