tl;dr: register until Friday, 31.10.2025 for the exercises of your computer science lectures as well as for PGs/labs/seminars
—— Info for Master Students (see German version for Bachelor students) ——
Hello everyone,
New Basis is kind of confusing, and with it, some procedures regarding lecture and exam registration have changed.
In some cases, we were notified about the changes after we sent the Inform into print.
If Basis is confusing you right now, maybe this overview (from the student body council) can help:
– For computer science lectures: Unlike in the past, you now sign up for lectures during October instead of for exercises during December. The deadline is October 31, 2025.
– This has the same effect as in the past (success in exercises can be entered), and has no consequences if you stop taking the lecture you signed up for now.
– Please sign up for all lectures you plan on attending this semester as soon as possible.
– The registration for the lecture is something different from the registration for the exam, which will follow later (in December), and is only possible for the lectures that you sign up for now.
– For seminars/labs: As usual, you sign up for them in October. The deadline is October 31, 2025.
– Please keep in mind that you should only register on BASIS for a seminar/lab after its supervisors have confirmed to you that you got a slot in the course.

– In BASIS there are now multiple places where you can sign up for things. The best place to sign up for lectures, as well as for exams later on, is the “Planner of studies with Module plan”.
– All modules you can attend this semester are shown there, and you can sign up to them by clicking the door symbol. You may need to expand the tree view a few times in order to find the door symbol.
– For technical reasons, BASIS often has two entries per lecture, named “Event/Exercise” and “Exercise”. In theory it should only be possible to sign up for the lecture (“Event/Exercise”). However, in some cases signing up for “Exercise” is offered to you as well. The important part is signing up for the lecture. When in doubt you can sign up for all options shown.
– You can check what modules you are signed up for under “Enrollments”. If something doesn’t show up there try signing up for it again, and if the problem persists contact the programme management before the deadline:
– If you can’t sign up for a lecture that you should be able to sign up for, send a mail to pos@informatik.uni-bonn.de
– This should include your matriculation number, the module and whatever error message you got
– A mail in time also counts as signing up in time, even if the programme management gets around to resolving the issues much later.

– A general note: Much of the information in the new BASIS is not yet correct, such as the number of credit points for modules or whether modules are compulsory.
Please refer to sources other than BASIS for this kind of information, such as the module handbook, working group websites, or information in the eCampus courses.
With kind regards
