Allocation procedure
The allocation of places for all events in Module 2 is exclusively done through 4 central central allocation procedures in KLIPS.
The registration procedure in Module 2 follows the general registration deadlines of Faculty 1:
- Registration phase: From the beginning of the semester until the end of the first week of lectures
- Late registration phase: From the beginning of the second week of lectures up to and including the end of the second week of lectures
- Withdrawal phase: From the beginning of the semester to the end of the second week of lectures
Due to the special structure of the courses, the deadlines for allocating places are sometimes more tightly timed, but remain within the applicable deadline structure.
2.1 ‘Theoretical and Empirical Foundations of Teaching’ (lecture)
According to the module handbook, Module 2.1 is a mandatory course for the first semester. Places on the course are allocated exclusively by means of four central allocation procedures. The first central allocation procedure takes place on the Thursday before orientation week, the second on the Thursday before lectures begin, and the third one week after lectures begin. The fourth and final central allocation procedure takes place immediately after the end of the re-registration phase. After that, no more unregistrations, place allocations or admissions are possible. Please refrain from contacting the lecturer regarding subsequent admission.

2.2 ‘Designing Learning Environments’ (project seminar)
The seminar 'Designing Learning Environments' is aimed at students in their 1st semester and attendance is mandatory. Places are allocated in a two-stage, automated allocation procedure. As the seminars take place in parallel groups, please indicate in KLIPS as many priorities as possible for which you are free to take part in the seminar. This will increase your chances of getting a place.
The seminar ‘Designing Learning Environments’ is aimed at students in their first semester and attendance is mandatory. Seminar places are allocated in a four-stage, automated allocation process. As the seminars take place in parallel groups, please indicate as many priorities as possible in KLIPS for which you are able to attend the seminar. This will increase your chances of getting a place.
Stage 1
The first allocation of places takes place on the Thursday before O-Week. On this day, you will receive an email asking you to check whether you can accept the place allocated to you. If so, you do not need to do anything else. If not, please unregister from the event allocated to you in KLIPS and select new groups if necessary. Please again specify as many preferences as possible.
Stage 2
The second allocation of places will take place on the Thursday before lectures begin. On this day, you will receive an email asking you to check whether you can accept the place allocated to you. If so, you do not need to do anything else. If not, please unregister from the course allocated to you in KLIPS and select new groups if necessary. Please again indicate as many preferences as possible.
Stage 3
The third allocation of places takes place one week after the start of lectures. On this day, you will also receive an email asking you to check whether you can take up the place allocated to you. If so, you do not need to do anything else. If not, please deregister from the course allocated to you in KLIPS during the withdrawal period and select new groups if necessary. Please specify as many priorities as possible here as well. If you do not deregister from the course in KLIPS by the end of the withdrawal period and do not attend the seminar, the course will be considered unsuccessful. Please note that, in order to ensure equal treatment of all students, all students in their first semester will initially be allocated a place, as specified in the module handbook. Any remaining places will be allocated to students in higher semesters.
Stage 4
The fourth and final allocation of places takes place immediately after the end of the re-registration phase. All remaining places will be allocated at this stage. After this, no further deregistrations, allocations, admissions or exchanges are possible. Please refrain from contacting individual lecturers regarding subsequent admissions or exchanges.
Haven't received your matriculation number yet? In this case, please contact the Secretariat (schulpaedagogik@uni-koblenz.de) by the beginning of the second week of lectures.
2.3 ‘Communication and Interaction in the Classroom’ (practical course) and 2.4 ‘Heterogeneity’ (discourse seminar)
The seminars ‘Communication and Interaction in the Classroom’ and ‘Heterogeneity’ are aimed at students in their 2nd semester and attendance is mandatory. Places are allocated in a two-stage, automated allocation procedure. As the seminars take place in parallel groups, please indicate in KLIPS as many priorities as possible for which you are free to take part in the seminar. This will increase your chances of getting a place.
Stage 1
The first allocation of places generally takes place on the Thursday two weeks before the start of the first week of lectures. You will receive an e-mail on this Thursday asking you to check whether you can take up yourallocated place. If yes, you don’t need to do anything else. If not, please deregister from the course assigned to you in KLIPS by the following Tuesday and select new groups if necessary. Again, please prioritise as much as possible.
Stage 2
On the Thursday before the start of the first week of lectures, the second allocation of places will take place. You will then receive another e-mail asking you to check whether you can take up the place allocated to you. If yes, you don’t need to do anything further. If not, please cancel your registration for the course you have been allocated in KLIPS immediately. If you do not deregister from the course in KLIPS by the end of the withdrawal period (i.e. up to and including the second week of lectures) and do not attend the seminar, the course will be deemed not to have been successfully completed.
Please consider that for reasons of equal treatment of all students, all students from the 2nd semester will initially be allocated a place, as provided for in the module handbook. Any remaining places will be allocated to students in higher semesters.
Additional Notes on All Courses in Module 2
In addition to the aforementioned stages of the allocation of places, a final allocation of places will take place on the Monday after the official late registration phase of Faculty 1 (Monday of the third week of lectures). The withdrawal phase ends at the end of the second week of lectures. After that, it is no longer possible to cancel registrations, allocate places, accept students or swap places. Please refrain from contacting individual lecturers regarding subsequent admissions or exchanges. If you are unable to take up the place allocated to you, you have the opportunity to reapply for a place in the next semester.
You have not yet received your matriculation number: In this case, please contact the Secretariat for School Education (schulpaedagogik@uni-koblenz.de) at the beginning of the second week of lectures.
Coursework
