FlexNow: Registration rules Biology

Note

• Different registration procedures apply faculty-wise. The faculties of Informatics (X.Inf.000), Physics (X.Phy.000) and Agriculture (M.IPAD.000): Registration for courses only in StudIP; Registration for exams in Flexnow. See below the procedure for our faculty.
• StudIP: In Faculty of Biology predominately used for communication between teaching stuff and students (e.g. file sharing). CoBi and DNB use a StudIP query for course pre-selection (see below). In other faculties: Often used for course registration (but not Exams!).
• Learn about FlexNow registration in the online tutorial (English version in the side box on the right); here your find the FlexNow-Login.
• Mind the information event slides Introductions to IT systems incl. course registration (pdf) and Introduction IT-Service by StudIT (pdf)
• Registration rules for ZESS courses
