Courses at Leipzig University start in the week of October 9 (for exceptions, please see our course catalog). Before that, please make sure to sign up for your modules and to receive all the information you need to start into your first semester. For that, please make use of the following resources and attend the below events:
Registering for Modules
- Generally, between September 27 and October 2, please use the TOOL platform to sign up for your modules, and consult our registration information sheet for further instructions (BA students will also need to confirm their Wahlbereich/SQ spots between October 4 and 5).
- For BA students with any questions about TOOL, your classes, or how to register for your modules, please make use of our online Q&A session on Module registration, on September 28 at 1pm.
- We have also summarized the general process of registering for your first-semester BA modules as well as collected a few tips for choosing Wahlbereich modules in this PDF file that we recommend to consult: TOOL Registration Guide for BA American Studies First-Semester Students
ASL Student Orientation
- We highly recommend that all entering BA and MA students attend the American Studies Orientation Day on October 5. The orientation day offers you a chance to meet your fellow students and instructors, and it is packed with information you will need during your studies here at Leipzig. It is designed specifically for entering students, and so we do encourage you to come and join us on that day. Please see the link above for details on the schedule.
Further Information
- Leipzig University also offers a number of events and information sessions for entering students, so please check the central "Starting Your Studies" website as well (please note that the German-language version of that website offers more information than the English one).
- If you still have questions about your studies after having attended the module registration Q&A and the ASL Orientation Day, please feel free to reach out to your ASL study advisers.
Again, we very much look forward to meeting you, and we wish you an excellent start into your studies at ASL!
