Registering for courses, the “Belegliste” and Transcript of Records
For you as an incoming Erasmus student, you cannot register online for courses and exams. Instead, you register for courses in two ways: firstly by e-mailing the instructor for each individual course and asking to be registered for the class, and secondly by adding the classes to your “Belegliste”, known in English as your course list. The course list is located on Mobility Online.
Here, you can find more information on the "Belegliste" (Course List) and the Transcript of Records.
