Course registration

Registration period

  • Courses in the spring semester: Register 1-5 November
  • Courses in the autumn semester: Register 1-5 May 

Registering for compulsory courses

If you follow the original degree programme structure, you will automatically be registered for the compulsory courses of your current semester. When you are registered for a course, you are automatically registered for the exam. We recommend that each semester, you ensure that you are registered for the correct courses and exams. Check your registration at mystudies.au.dk -> 'My study timeline'. Your registrations will be marked with a blue ‘C’ (course) and/or ‘E’ (exam).

If you are unsure which compulsory courses you should be registered for, please log in and check at mystudies.au.dk -> 'My study timeline' or find an overview of the courses and structure of your degree programme in your academic regulations.

If you do not follow the original degree programme structure, it is your own responsibility to register for the compulsory courses. Please register by contacting your course administrator within the registration period.

Registering for elective courses

It is your own responsibility to register for elective courses. All students who have been registered for their selected courses are bound by their choice. This means that you will not be able to cancel or change your registration for elective courses once the deadline for registration has expired, and the elective course is a binding part of your study programme.

Registering for elective courses - second round

Students who are not allocated to their desired course in the first round of registration, due to cancellations or limited access, can register in the second round, which is from 23 - 26 May and 22 - 24 November. In the second round, it is only possible to register for subjects with empty places.

Cancel course registration

If you wish to cancel a course registration or change your course registration, this is done via mystudies.au.dk within the registration periods.

Cancel course registration

It is not possible to cancel a course registration, unless you have received an exemption or you have one of the below mentioned reasons.

Students can only cancel course registrations if the course registration is replaced by:

It is only possible to cancel a course registration if the course and the internship/studies abroad/guest course is placed on the same semester. You cannot cancel a course registration in favour of a course or other study activities on another semester or in the summer period between to semesters.

Please notice, courses may overlap if you decide to postpone a course to a later semester. For instance, if you deregister from a compulsory course at your third semester and plan to take it on your fifth semester, it may overlap with other fifth semester courses.

Likewise, please pay attention to the rules regarding your maximum duration of studies.

The study administration may grant permission to change elective courses in exceptional circumstances. The permission may be granted if the Director of studies assesses that you lack the academic qualifications required to complete the course that you have commenced. In connection with the assessment, the Director of studies may among other things include which courses you have previously completed.

To apply for a change of elective courses, you must:

• Contact the Director of studies in order to get an academic assessment of your prerequisites for completing the course in question.

• Apply via mitstudie.au.dk using the form 'exemption' and attach the assessment from the Director of studies. Please state in your application which courses you wish to switch to in order of priority.

Deadline for Applications: 12 September/12 February in the semester that you are registered for the course you wish to change.

The change of elective courses is on the condition that the course you wish to change to is offered in the same semester as the course you wish to change from. Moreover, the course you wish to change to must have an available seat. In other words: You cannot cancel a course registration in favour of a course or other study activities in another semester or in the summer period between two semesters.

If you need to withdraw from an elective course due to exceptional circumstances such as illness or the like, you can apply for an exemption via mitstudie.au.dk

Cancellation - Elective courses

Please note that courses are cancelled, if to few students sign up for them. Therefore it is very important that you register for all the courses you wish to take the coming semester. You find the elective courses here or in the AU Course Catalogue.  

Registration for courses that you have previously attended

If you have previously been registered for a course or did not pass on your first or second exam attempt and would like to re-register for the course, please write bachelor.bss@au.dk or kandidat.bss@au.dk within the registration period. Please note that you are not able to be re-registered in a course with restricted admission.

If you do not wish to follow the teaching again and only wish to register for your second or third exam attempt, please follow the deadlines for exam registration.
