FAQ study organization
During the study
The study plan of each study program shows exactly when the theoretical and practical phases take place within the study program.
You will receive a timetable for each semester in good time before lectures begin via the LSF.
To call up the study plan, click on: Events -> Course schedules -> select the course -> enter a value for from and to semester (e.g. 1 to 1 for the first semester) -> now you will get a weekly view and can view the schedule for each week.
The courses start at 08:00 at the earliest and end at 19:15 at the latest. However, there may be days in the schedule when there are no courses. These are intended for self-study.
The registration of an exam is done via MyCampus (LSF). You can register and deregister for compulsory and elective subjects there in the "Exam registration and deregistration" area by selecting a subject from the list. If you do not find a subject in the list, please register it via the QM-Portal, which is also located in this area (direct link is provided in the section "Prüfungsan- und abmeldung").
You can find the exam registration period under Dates.
If you decide not to take an exam after all, you can deregister from it again within the exam registration and deregistration period in MyCampus (LSF) deregister. This is no longer mandatory as of the summer semester 2020; if you do not show up for the first attempt of an exam, you will not suffer any consequences.
Important: Portfolio exams can no longer be deregistered once you have completed a partial performance!
If you are unable to attend one of your registered exams, you may simply make it up in the following semester. No deregistration is necessary and no re-registration at the Student Examination Office is required.
If it is a written submission, an oral or a practical exam, please consult with the corresponding lecturer.
Please note that this regulation does not apply to portfolio examinations!
After the exam period, the grades of your exams will be available in MyCampus (LSF) as soon as the examiner has deposited them there.
If you fail an exam, you will automatically be registered for that exam in the following semester. If you receive a grade of 4.1 or higher, you will be considered to have failed the exam. In case you fail an exam a second time, you are encouraged to have a counseling interview with the study advisor/dean of students and to submit a certificate of this to the Student Examination Office, otherwise your examination entitlement will expire permanently and you will be exmatriculated.
If you have any further questions regarding one of the points, please contact the Student Administration Office, Section Student Examination Office.
Further information on the examination system at RWU can also be found in the Rector's Moodle course on the Introduction to the Examination System at RWU. You will get access as a student after self-enrolling in the course of the Rector's Office with the help of your university account.

At the Senate meeting on March 31, 2022, a pandemic-related extension of the study and examination deadlines was approved without restriction for each of the four Corona semesters. In addition, some significant changes to the general part of the Study and Examination Regulations (SPO) for the Bachelor's and Master's degree programs at RWU were adopted.
Exception: For the bachelor's degree program in Social Work, for training-integrated bachelor's degree programs, and for the part-time master's degree programs, the examination deadlines are extended analogously
If you are already a student at RWU and would like to change your course of study, simply apply in myCampus-the university portal of RWU by the usual deadlines for the new degree program and enclose all application documents including a transcript of grades (uncertified form). Everything else will then be handled internally by the Admissions and Student Examination Office.
If you have any further questions in this regard, please contact the Student Administration Office, Admissions Office section.

At the end of the study
A de-registration can have many reasons, in the best case you have completed all required achievements and successfully completed your studies. But also a missing re-registration before the beginning of a new semester, the loss of the right to take exams, the lack of important documents (for example a proof of health insurance), exceeding the semester limit or a change of university can be the reason. In any of these cases, it will result in exmatriculation.
No, you must actively apply for de-registration. You can do this online directly via myCampus. You can find more information, including the required proofs, in your online study service.
You submit the application for de-registration via myCampus-the university portal of RWU.
The exmatriculation date can be chosen as follows:
- Exmatriculation at the end of the semester (summer 31.08., winter 28.02.), which has the advantage that you are enrolled until the end of the semester and are covered by health insurance as a student until then (recommended)
- De-registration with last service; you will be de-registered upon request on the date your last service was rendered and will no longer be covered as a student from then on.
- If you de-register within one month of the start of classes, you may apply for a refund of fees paid. Please note the application deadline for both applications here: The application for de-registration and the application for refund must be submitted within one month after the start of lectures.
When submitting the online application for de-registration, the form for the discharge notes must be uploaded.
- Exmatriculation - discharge notes in the download area of the page of the Student Administration Office
Also, mark on the form whether you would like to have the documents mailed to you or pick them up in person. If you are undecided about your future address, enter your mail address. We will then notify you when the documents are ready. They can still be mailed to you at that time.
Required releases:
- University Library (proof that they do not own any books from there and no borrowing fees are open).
- Technical operations (proof that they do not have a key to the university premises).
Everything else will be completed by the Admissions and Student Examination Office.
If possible, submit the application before the end of the re-registration period .
For all other reasons for de-registration, also submit an application. You may need the exmatriculation certificate to present to the employment office or to enroll at another university.
For all other questions regarding exmatriculation, please contact the Student Administration Office, Admissions Office section.
