  For the course, there is no registration via HISinOne, but the timely registration of the exam via HISinOne is required!

(B) Registration for graded examinations and registration of pass/fail examinations:

• All examinations must be registered before the examination is taken and all coursework must be registered. With a few exceptions, this can be done via the study planner in HISinOne.
• Please note: Registering for a course does not replace the registration for the graded examinations or registration of the pass/fail examinations! In particular, the assignment to a tutorial group at the beginning of the lecture does not mean that you are registered for the corresponding pass/fail examination!
