Guidance
Additional information for course registration (winter term)
Courses at the Department for Sociology, especially exercise courses and seminars, have limited capacity for various reasons (room size, supervision, etc.).
As many students need to be distributed among relatively few courses with limited capacity, there is a fair, prioritized registration procedure that assigns students to available courses.
Detailed information on how to register for courses via LSF can be found in the LSF tutorials.
LSF will not be available freely via the Internet. Instead, it will only be accessible via the Munich Scientific Network (MWN).
If you are not working on site at LMU, you will only be able to access LSF via VPN. Please use the MWN Edu-VPN.
Further information is available at www.lmu.de/vpn. Please also refer to this VPN manual.
FAQ
The course registration process functions according to an automated algorithm that takes your priorities into account. In the event of overbooking, it is not possible to accommodate all students' priorities. The algorithm then makes a random decision in order to achieve a fair solution.
In such cases, please contact the Student Affairs Office. Please note that we can only help you with conflicts with other courses, not with conflicts with your private life, for example employment.
You must register for the exam in each course at a later date. The exam registration period will be announced by the Examination Office (PAGS) and is expected to take place in the middle of the respective semester.
