Registration

How you can register on our F.I.T. continuing education platform is explained in this PDF.

Cancelling registration

Please avoid unexcused absence. If you are unable to participate, please cancel your registration directly with the organizer (e.g. if the cancellation deadline has expired) or via the F.I.T. platform. If you cancel in time, people on the waiting list still have the chance to participate.

Exclusion

Two unexcused absences will result in an immediate ban for six months and the automatic cancellation of events for which you are already registered.

Do’s and Dont’s

Expectations: Please read not only the title, but also the information text for the event carefully before you register.

Presence: A certificate of participation will only be issued by the organizer if you were present for the entire duration of the event.

Cell phone: Please switch off your cell phone during the event.

Punctuality: Please note the advertised event times and be punctual.

Certificate of attendance

No certificate of attendance can be issued for events for which no attendance check is carried out, e.g. lectures or webinars. Also, a certificate of participation will only be issued by the organizer if you were present for the entire duration of the event.

You can find your certificates of attendance under "My events". Please save your certificate of attendance to your computer on a regular basis. After four years, certificates of participation are no longer available. The AIDAHO certificate must therefore be obtained within four years.

ECTS credits

In the seminar description, you can see whether and how many ECTS credits are given for a F.I.T. course. If no ECTS credits are listed in the seminar description, no ECTS credits are awarded for the course.

In the following degree programs, ECTS credits from the F.I.T. courses are counted:

  1. Bachelor’s students in Business Administration and Economics and Communication Science can have the F.I.T. courses counted either with or without grades in the portfolio module in the free elective area.
  2. Bachelor’s students in the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and the Faculty of Natural Sciences can have courses counted in the portfolio module (exception: Biology (Teacher Program for Secondary Schools)).
  3. Bachelor’s students who have registered for a Flexible Learning Semester can have the courses counted as a voluntary achievement and get certificates for them.
  4. Master’s students in Biology can have F.I.T. courses counted in the module “Personal Competence.”
  5. Master’s students in the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences can have the F.I.T. courses counted under certain conditions. You can get more information from the academic program advisor.
  6. NOTE: Bachelor’s students in Information Systems, Education for Business and Economics, and Biology (Teacher Program for Secondary Schools) do not have portfolio modules.

For degree programs not listed here, please contact the academic program advisors.

Conditions of participation

 

General conditions for participation in the F.I.T. program

Your registration is binding. Your registration data will be stored electronically for this purpose and processed for the creation of participant lists, attendance lists, certificates of participation, name badges and, if required, for registration on learning platforms (simulation games, learning materials, videos) of external instructors. We therefore ask you to register once correctly with your Hohenheim user account or as an external user.

The order of registration determines which participants are admitted.

The number of spaces is limited. There is no legal right to a space even if you registered before the deadline.

Waiting list: A waiting list is maintained for each event. All persons on the waiting list are automatically contacted when a place becomes available. The person who responds first gets the spot.

Cancel registration: If you are unable to attend an event, please cancel or notify us by the cancellation deadline so that space can be reassigned. Our aim is to make the best possible use of the spaces so that as many people as possible benefit from the offer and the costs are in relation to the use.

We reserve the right to cancel the event on short notice for important reasons (e.g. if the instructor is sick).

Storage: Certificates of attendance are saved for 2 years and then automatically deleted. You can retrieve and save your certificate of attendance under "My Events" if a certificate is to be issued for the event.

Deleting your user profile: If you want to delete your profile from the F.I.T. platform please write to: fit-weiterbildung@uni-hohenheim.de
 

Participation conditions for students

ECTS credits: In the seminar description, you can see whether and how many ECTS credits are given for a F.I.T. seminar. If no ECTS credits are listed in the seminar description, no ECTS credits are awarded for the course. If ECTS credits are given for a course, you will also receive a certificate of attendance.

 Also for employees, copy: Unexcused absences: If you are absent twice without excuse from a course, you will be banned for 6 months and cannot register for any further courses during that time. Any registrations for other courses will be automatically cancelled. 

In the event of disruptive behavior that impedes the course, a participant can be excluded by the instructor.

Costs: The events are generally free of charge for students of the University of Hohenheim. If there are costs, this will be indicated in the course description.

Qualification measures with certified exams (IBQ and Six Sigma) that have fees: The cancellation deadlines apply. You can withdraw from the course free of charge until the cancellation deadline. After that date, the costs will be charged in full. A medical certificate is required in case of illness.
 

Institution-specific conditions

Event organizer: Office for University Didactics

You can cancel your registration in writing up to 14 days before the course begins. For cancellations, the post date or email date is relevant.

The courses are funded by the University of Hohenheim. As a participant, you (or the institute sending you) pay a contribution per course day. The amount of the cost contribution may vary. Please refer to the respective course description for the amount of the cost contribution. If you cancel later than 14 days before the start of the seminar or are absent without an excuse, the cost contribution is due.

Cancellations are possible via email. It is not sufficient to inform the instructor that you are cancelling your registration.

For each course you attend, you will receive a certificate of participation. For a certificate of participation, you must be present for at least 80% of the course.

Event organizer: MentHo

You must be a member to attend MentHo seminars.

Event organizer: Human Resources Department

The University supports its employees in further education. Participation is usually counted as working hours if the course has a business use. Courses that are not primarily related to work are marked accordingly in the Continuing Education Program. By registering, you confirm that your participation has been arranged with your supervisor.

If it is not possible for you to participate in the event you have booked, you should cancel your registration as soon as possible - at least one week before the start of the course so that those on the waiting list can be moved up to fill the empty place. If you are ill or prevented from attending for other urgent reasons on short notice, you should immediately inform the Personnel and Organizational Development unit.

Paid qualification measures (IBQ and Six Sigma): The cancellation deadlines apply. You can withdraw from the course free of charge until the cancellation deadline. After that date, the costs will be charged in full. A medical certificate is required in case of illness.

You will receive certificates of attendance either after the respective event or upon request from the Human Resources Department.
