If you choose courses outside the course clusters, you must make sure yourself that there are no clashes in teaching or exams.
You must also check that there are no clashes between elective courses and compulsory courses.
You do this by comparing the courses in both the timetable and the exam schedule.
If the number of registrations for a course exceeds the number of available places on that course, the places will be allocated by drawing lots.
If you are not granted a place on one or more of your desired courses, you must register anew in the second registration period.
If you initially registered for three courses but are now only able to see two courses in your overview of registrations, you were not allocated a place on all your desired courses in the first round of registration. This means that you will be able to register for a third course in the second registration period.
The allocation of elective courses is final by 22 May 2026. There may be changes in the allocation of elective courses right up to this date.
Check your registration in the student self-service system STADS under ‘Classes –> Registration overview’.
If you initially, registered for three elective courses, and you were only allocated two elective courses, you can register for a third elective course in the second registration period.
If you did not receive the number of courses you wished to register for after the second registration period or if you forgot to register for courses in the upcoming semester, you can register for courses in the Student Self-service system (STADS) via mystudies.au.dk in the period 14 to 18 August 2026.
The allocation of places will take place on a first-come, first-served basis, and it will be possible to register for a course as long as there are vacant places on the course. Once a course has been filled, it will no longer be possible to register for the course in question.
The list of available courses can be updated on a regular basis.
It is important that you check up on course clusters, time and exam overlap before you register.
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.
Dispensation to cancel registration
You can apply for a dispensation to withdraw from or change elective courses, but only if exceptional circumstances exist and are deemed to impact your ability to complete the course. You apply for dispensation via mystudies.au.dk.
