3.3 My Modules
Click the “An-/Abmeldung” (Register/Deregister) link to show an overview of the modules you
have already booked. If there are multiple registration possibilities (e.g. Bachelor and Master)
you will be able to choose or select the completed Module for your study program.
When you first visit this page, there are no entries in the list. You have the option of
displaying a legend that explains the symbols shown in the table (“Legende einblenden,” top
right). There is also a pop-up window for notes on using the system (“Benutzungshinweise,”
top right).
Click “Details” for information on the status of courses and exams for which you have
registered in the context of this module. This opens a pop-up window.
You can click on the pencil symbol to edit the relevant module registration by deleting
courses or exams that have already been chosen within that module or selecting new
courses or exams for the module.
If this semester is the first time you have registered for a particular module, you can
also drop the module completely. If you have already registered for a particular
module in past semesters, you can no longer drop the module yourself.
Click “neues Modul wählen” (Choose new module) to start the
registration process.

You can use the small arrows shown in the column headers to change the order in
which the modules are sorted within the table
4 Choosing a new module
After you have clicked on “neues Modul wählen” (Choose new module), you will see a list of
the modules recommended for your study program. If you uncheck the box labeled “nur
empfohlene Module anzeigen” (Show recommended modules only), modules for higher
semesters are displayed as well. Registering for modules intended for higher semesters is,
however, recommended only if you meet the entrance requirements which are described in
the examination regulations for your study program. Click on “Details” to display the exams
and courses offered for the relevant module. You can also reduce the available modules to
your core subject / major (Kernfach) or your module offering(s) / minor(s) (Modulangebote).
Please note:
Modules for which no courses are offered in the current semester cannot be selected
here.

4.1 Filter and sorting functions
In some study programs, the list of modules available to choose from can be very long. You
can use the filter function to reduce the list by entering a character string (without an asterisk
(*) at the beginning or end).
The individual columns can be sorted in ascending or descending order.
4.2 Choosing courses in a new module
As soon as you have used the pencil to select a module, you will see a table with the specific
courses offered. A module generally consists of several abstract courses, such as (1) lecture
(Vorlesung) and (2) lab/section/seminar (Übung/Seminar), etc. The abstract courses in a
module are shown in blue. In the example shown here, there are two abstract parts, with one
course selected in each.
Please note:
For each abstract part of a module, you can register for one course only

4.2.1 Choosing a preference for courses with limited enrollment (restricted
courses)
Example: The course you wish to select is a course with a limited number of placements.
During the preference booking period (Präferenzzeitraum), you cannot register directly for
these restricted courses; what you can do instead is record your preferences. These
preferences are then saved for registration purposes. Only after the end of the preference
booking period, on the last Friday before courses start, the preference bookings are analyzed
and courses assigned. In extreme cases, you may not even be assigned to any of your
classes. As a result, you have the option of entering preferences for multiple courses when
dealing with courses with limited placements. After the placements are allocated, the
registration period continues until the third Friday after the start of classes. If, after the
placements in the course are allocated, placements in restricted courses become available,
you can register for those placements directly. There are three ways to delete your
preference: by unchecking the box for the relevant course, by selecting “keine Teilnahme”
(No participation) in the drop-down menu of preference choices, or by clicking on the
trashcan. Then there are three ways to select other courses: by clicking on a preference in
the drop-down menu, checking the box at the start of the line, or clicking the diskette symbol
at the end of that line.
Please note:
If you use the checkbox or diskette to register, the course is saved as “keine
Präferenz” (No preference).
Example: choosing a preference
4.2.2 Directly booking courses without limited enrollment (non-restricted
courses)
If a course does not have a limited number of placements, you can register for that course
directly in the system.
CMA Juni 15
Seite 9/17
CM Online Registration
Please note:
If it is possible to select either restricted or non-restricted courses in one part of the
module and you click on a non-restricted course, you will be registered for that course
only. Preference bookings for restricted courses will not be saved.
Example: direct registration
4.3 Confirming your choice of courses
Click “Weiter” (Next) to see an overview of the courses you have selected. Now you can
confirm these courses by clicking “Bestätigen” (Confirm).
CMA Juni 15

4.4 Finishing your module registration
Once you click “Bestätigen” (Confirm), you will see another overview of your registration in
the system. In this example, the student has selected two non-restricted courses (courses
without limited enrollment), so the student is registered for those courses directly in the
system. Preferences are shown with the registration status “Vorgemerkt” (Prebooked).
Please note:
If you do not choose any courses, you will be registered only for the module itself and
the relevant module exam. You can correct this anytime up until the end of the
registration period by registering for the relevant courses.
5 Changing your choice of courses within a module
If you wish to change your choice of courses within a module, please click on the pencil
symbol. The next screen shows you the courses for which you are currently registered,
including the relevant exams. If these are exams for parts of a module, you can display the
exam associated with that course by moving the mouse over the following symbol:

You wish to cancel your direct registration for course 16663 and register for 16672 instead.
The process is described below.
Edit view
5.3 Confirming your changed course selection
Once you have entered your changes, please click “Weiter” (Next). This will take you to a
page that shows at a glance all changes you have made. In our example, two preference
entries have been added and one has been removed. You have also registered instead for
courses without limited enrollment (see illustration).

5.4 Finishing your course registration/deregistration
To save the changes you have made in the system, please click “Bestätigen” (Confirm). The
information will not be saved in the system unless you do so. You will now see an overview
of the saved information and its status within the system.
6 Dropping an entire module
If this semester is the first time you have registered for a particular module, you can also
drop the module completely. If you have already registered for a particular module in past
semesters, you can no longer drop the module yourself. To drop a module, please click on
the trashcan symbol in the list of modules for which you are registered. You will then be
asked to confirm this deregistration (see illustration).

(exams and courses).

7 Information symbols and error messages
The small info symbol appears whenever it is not possible to register for a particular
course. You can move the mouse over the symbol or click on it to see the reason why
you cannot register for this course. (Examples: “You have already registered for this
course in a different module,” “Participation already confirmed,” or “Placements
assigned by department”).
Example: Participation already confirmed

This cross marks courses that are subject to limited enrollment (restricted courses)
and are already full, so they are no longer available for registration.
