Creating your timetable
The module descriptions are immensely helpful for structuring your degree program and organiser your study plan. They will guide you in the selection of your courses, which you can then register for via the course catalogue (LSF).
The legal framework for all Bachelor's and Master's degree programs is explained in the Examination Regulations. These set out what you have to achieve during your studies and how the examination procedures are organised. The study regulations are fed into the examination administration system (FlexNow).
Course registration and administration of credit points
Most faculties prefer to register for courses via the online course catalogue (EXA). How and when to register for a course can be found in the course information in SPUR. The directory can also be accessed without UR access data, but you actually need a UR account to register for courses.
The course materials are usually made available by the lecturers via the e-learning platform (GRIPS). The access data for the individual courses will be communicated at the first class.
A central examination administration system records your grades and course attendance. This computer system is called FlexNow. You can also register for examinations via this computer system. Once the results of the examinations have been determined, they are entered into FlexNow by the members of the teaching staff and you can see the results online.
Student data and UR card
Your personal data, e.g. address, your study-related data (degree program and number of semesters) and study certificates (e.g. enrolment) are recorded at the UR in the Campusportal (SPUR). Other services such as cafeteria menus can also be accessed via SPUR. Registration is only possible for enroled students with a RZ-account.
The UR card or student ID card is issued upon enrolment and also serves as a library card, bus ticket and payment method on campus.

Semester dates
The academic year is divided into two semesters:
The academic year at the University of Regensburg is divided into two semesters - the winter semester and the summer semester.
- The winter semester always begins on 1 October and ends on 31 March.
- The summer semester lasts from 1 April to 30 September.
Each semester is divided into the lecture-free period and the lecture period. Courses take place during the lecture period. The beginning and end of this period vary slightly from year to year. The lecture-free period is generally used for internships, self-study, writing seminar papers, exam preparation and, in some cases, exams. Block seminars are also often offered during the lecture-free period.
