Creating a new course
Create a new course (or divide identity codes):

- If the course needs to be assigned to a different module than in previous years.
- If the content of the course is no longer comparable with the course from the previous year.

- Course number
- Course title
- Organizational unit offering the course
- Lecturers or supervisors
- Appointments
- Number of groups or participants
- References or other minor changes to the description

FAQ on Course Administration
First go to the “My Course Administration” app.
- Course Timetable Coordinator: Click on “Rights-based survey” at the top of the ribbon. You will now see all courses of the organization for which you have the rights as Course Timetable Coordinator.
- Lecturers: Click on “My courses” at the top of the ribbon. You will now see the courses for which you are registered as a lecturer.
If you have any questions regarding content please contact C@MPUS Support (semester transfer) or Lecture Hall Management (double occupancy of rooms).
- Courses can be assigned to various modules. This means that it is often not clear which module description should be copied into the course.
- Modules can consist of several courses. This raises the question of whether the same text should be copied into the lecture, the exercise and the practical course. In the case of two-semester modules, the same text would also be copied for the winter and summer semester courses, even though they deal with different topics.
No, students are not shown the “Exam details” section.
The following reasons may explain why a person cannot be found:
- If the contract with the person has not been finalized, enter a temporary position and assign it to the course. Replace the temporary position with the real person as soon as they are in the system.
- If the person comes from a cooperating institution, e.g. University of Hohenheim, University of Tübingen, Ludwigsburg University of Education, State Seminars: Enter a temporary position and report the person with title, date of birth and cooperating institution to Division 1.
- If the person has already retired but is still teaching: Enter a position and report the person to Division 4 (Personnel). In the case of retired professors, a corresponding employment contract is drawn up by the relevant faculty.
Yes, the selected option is copied from winter semester to winter semester and from summer semester to summer semester.
