The Bachelor’s degree program in Geosciences has no admission restrictions.
Enrollment for first-year students as well as for students entering a higher semester consists of two steps:
- Online application and online enrollment via the campo portal
- Official enrollment for the upcoming winter semester: see “Enrollment without admission restrictions” (date of postal receipt applies); the postal address of the Student Records Office can be found on the enrollment application form
Information for students already enrolled at FAU
Students who are already enrolled at FAU and wish to change their degree program should use the Application for Changing to a Non-Restricted Program for FAU Students and submit the completed form to the Student Records Office.
After a successful application via campo and payment of the semester fee, enrollment takes place within the designated deadlines. It is important to submit all required documents with your application.
For Geosciences, enrollment must be completed by postal mail.
Processing of postal applications can take 2 to 3 weeks. If documents are incomplete, this processing time will be extended. If documents are submitted near the end of the deadline, it cannot be guaranteed that study materials will be sent before the semester begins. The same applies if payment has not been received.
Activation of user account
After all documents and payments have been received, you will receive an information letter by post on how to activate access to electronic services. The information letter can also be viewed online in campo.
FAU-Card
The FAU-Card serves as the student ID for enrolled students. It must be validated each semester. The card is automatically sent by post once the personal user account has been activated.
Enrollment certificate
After enrollment is completed and the user account is activated, the enrollment certificate can be accessed in campo.
