Registration

If you want to participate in the precourse, please register via the campus management system TUMonline. Log in with your login data and then click on "Go to course registration" (or "zur LV-Registrierung").

Please note: 

• You can only register in TUMonline – even after admission, acceptance of a study place and payment of the semester fees – once the Student Admission Office has checked all relevant documents and set them to "ok". A letter symbol in your applicant account means that documents have been received by the Admission Office but have not yet been checked. In this case, please wait until a green tick icon appears. 
• If your registration is not processed in time, you can simply come to the first lecture 30-9-2024 8:00-10:15, Werner-von-Siemens-Hörsaal (Audimax), München.
• A separate registration for the exercise classes is not needed.
