FAQ study organization
During the studies
The study plan for each study course shows exactly when the theoretical and practical phases take place during the studies.
You will receive a timetable for each semester in time before lectures begin via the LSF.
To retrieve the study plan, click on: Events -> Study course schedules -> select the study course -> enter a value at 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.
You can register for an exam via MyCampus (LSF). You can register and de-register for compulsory and elective subjects there in the "Exam registration and de-registration" area by selecting a subject from the list. If you can't find a subject in the list, we kindly ask you to register it via the QM-Portal, which is also located in this area (direct link is provided in the section " Registration and de-registration of examinations").
You can find the exam registration period under Events.
If you decide not to take an exam after all, you can de-register from it again in MyCampus (LSF) within the exam registration and de-registration period. 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 de-registered once you have completed a partial performance!
If you are unable to attend one of your registered exams, you may simply attempt it in the following semester. No de-registration is necessary and no re-registration at the 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 examination period, the grades of your examinations will be visible 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 any of these points, please contact the Admissions Office.
For more information on the examination system at RWU, please also refer to the Rector's Moodle course on Introduction to the Examination System at RWU. Access is granted to you as a student after self-enrollment in the course of the Rector's Office using your university account.

To continue your studies, re-register for each new semester before the start of the semester during the re-registration period. This will allow you to maintain your student status and remain enrolled for the next semester. You will be informed about the re-registration period each semester by e-mail to your university e-mail address. Next to this, you will find the re-registration period under Events.
You will find the invoice for re-registration in myCampus - the university portal of RWU. Now you transfer the semester fee. Payment for any applicable tuition fee is also a prerequisite for re-registration. However, the deadlines for payment of tuition fees may differ from the re-registration deadline. You will find the exact details in your fee notice.
You can re-register directly online via myCampus. Please note the official re-registration deadline, as a late re-registration will result in a late fee of 14.00 EUR.

You can find all the necessary information on the Student Examinations Office page in the General Study and Examination Regulations (SPO) under §5 Mandatory Practical Semester. Please also check whether additional requirements or guidelines for the practical study semester apply in the examination regulations of your study course.
On the page of your study course you will also find your contact person of the Practice Office under "Contact and People".

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 study course Social Work, for training-integrated Bachelor's study courses and the part-time Master's study courses, the examination deadlines are extended analogously
If you are already a student at RWU and would like to change your study course, simply apply in myCampus-the university portal of RWU by the usual deadlines for the new study course 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 Department.

If Bachelor's students are at the end of the 10th semester or Master's students are at the end of the 6th or 8th semester, then a request for an extension of study time can be submitted.
There is no form for this, you have to write a letter yourself with reasons. You then hand in the letter directly to the Student Administration Office, section Student Examination Office. The decision on your application is made by the Central Examination Board (ZPA).
The Public Relations Department provides various RWU logo designs for download.
Powerpoint templates can be downloaded after logging into the QM Portal.

At the end of studies
A exmatriculation can have many reasons, in the best case you have completed all required achievements and successfully finished your studies. However, a lack of re-registration before the start of a new semester, the loss of examination entitlement, the absence of important documents (for example, proof of health insurance), exceeding the semester limit or a change of university can also be the reason. In any of these cases, it will result in exmatriculation.
No, you must actively apply for exmatriculation. 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 exmatriculation 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)
- Exmatriculation with last service; you will be exmatriculated upon request on the date your last service was rendered and will no longer be covered as a student from then on.
- If you exmatriculate 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 exmatriculation and the application for refund must be submitted within one month after the start of lectures.
When submitting the online application for exmatriculation, the form for the discharge notes must be uploaded.
- Exmatriculation - Discharge - Notes in the download section of the Student Administration Office page.
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 then still be sent to you by mail.
Required Discharges:
- University library (proof that they do not own books from there and do not have open borrowing privileges).
- Technical Operations (proof that they do not have a key to the university premises).
Everything else will be completed by the Admissions Office and Student Examination Office.
If possible, submit the application before the end of the re-registration period.
For all other reasons for exmatriculation, 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.
