1. First registration period is from 1 - 5 May and 1 - 5 November. After these dates the registrations will be final for all students, who were admitted to the courses they applied for, however the students’ academic regulations are always considered. 
2. Students who were not admitted to the requested courses, e.g. due to cancellation or restricted admission, can register during second registration round, which will be between 12 - 15 May and 10-12 November. Students can only register for courses that have empty seats after the first round of registration.

If you wish to cancel a course registration or change your course registration, this is done via mit.au.dk within the registration periods from 1 – 5 May (autumn courses) and 1 - 5 November (spring courses).

Cancel course registration

The rules for withdrawal outside the registration periods are as follows:

• It is only possible to cancel course registrations in exceptional cases and only based on an application for exemption. It can only take place until the end of the second week after the start of the semester, according to which all registrations are considered to be binding. An exemption to cancel a course registration is only granted, if the application is justified on reasonable academic reasons. Withdrawal after 2 weeks of teaching is only granted if exceptional circumstances are documented.

Change of courses

The rules for change of courses outside the registration period are as follows:

• Change of course registrations can only take place in exceptional cases and only based on an application for exemption. It can only take place until the end of the second week after the start of the semester, according to which all registrations are considered to be binding. An exemption to change course registrations is only granted, if the application is justified on reasonable academic reasons and the premises capacity allows it. Change between two courses after 2 weeks of teaching is only granted if exceptional circumstances are documented.

Exemption

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 :

• Internship
• Studies abroad (exchange and free movers, according to the regulations governing this)
• Enrollment as guest student at another study programme/educational institution.

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 maximum duration of studies and the demand for study progress.

Please note that courses are cancelled, if less than 15 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.  

Every semester the department offers a number of courses with restrictions on admission. Students with the most credits (ECTS) will come first in line to the available seats.

Sign up for the restricted admission courses via mystudies.au.dk, (the selfservice facility).

Students from other higher education institutions:
Students enrolled at other institutions, who wish to follow courses at this department, should follow the procedures for credit transfer, as well as the above described procedures.
