Auditing students affiliated with a different university are permitted to complete coursework and assessments for the courses they are attending. The final thesis project, however, must be undertaken at the university where they are enrolled. You have a right to undertake examinations and assessments if you have been admitted to an entire module. Please consult the university where you are enrolled for further information on having credit points you have acquired as an auditing student recognized.

Generally speaking, auditing students affiliated with a different university do not have to pay any additional fees. However, for some continuing education degree programs you may need to pay a fee. Please contact the staff member responsible for the respective degree program for further information.

You can simply consult Freie Universität Berlin’s course catalog. Each course description specifies whether there is a maximum number of participants for the respective course.

Blackboard is an online learning platform. Lecturers upload material for the seminars here, such as semester plans, texts or homework. Students log in with their Zedat username and password and can then access the material. Normally, students are also registered for a course in Blackboard if they are registered for the course in Campus Management.

Information on Campus Management you find here.

The allocation procedure is carried out on Campus Management for places in courses with limited capacity (where there is a maximum number of participants that cannot be exceeded). During the allocation procedure course registrations for Freie Universität students are processed. You can find information on when this procedure takes place on the website about Campus Management.

Your status as an auditing student does not permit you to attend any other courses if you are completing an entire module in one specific department. If this is not the case, then you are allowed to select various courses from different departments. Please note that you will have to fill out two forms in this case. This may mean that it takes longer to complete the process.

Communication with Auditing students of Freie Universität Berlin takes place exclusively via the FU account and the account of your home university. In order to register you with us, we need an active e-mail address from your home university. Please make sure that you enter this correctly in the application for auditing student.

Recommendation:

If necessary, set up e-mail forwarding from your home university account to your private e-mail address.

Access to the academic records is only possible during the semester of registration. Please save them before the end of the semester.
