Conditions for Participation

The transdisciplinary course program is designed for all doctoral candidates of the University of Freiburg. You may participate in the courses if you are registered or matriculated as a doctoral candidate at the University of Freiburg. Visiting doctoral candidates who are not participating in a structured program within one of the University of Freiburg’s graduate schools or doctoral research groups and are not matriculated must receive special permission before being allowed to participate in the qualification program (contact: carolin.schuchert@iga.uni-freiburg.de).
You can register for courses with the user identification and password of your doctoral candidate account. You must use your own account to register for courses.

All IGA courses begin promptly at the time indicated in the course catalog (i.e., sine tempore); punctuality is expected. Teachers are authorized to exclude participants from their courses who do not cooperate sufficiently. Participants may also be excluded for passing on confidential information from the courses to the public or for other inappropriate behavior.

In order to ensure that the level of all students participating in a language course is compatible, a placement test may be held during the first class meeting. Passing this test is a requirement for continued participation in the course. Additionally, teachers may exclude participants whose language skills are not sufficient for taking the course or refer them to another course.

Registration is binding. Should you not be able to participate in a course for which you have registered, we ask that you cancel your registration at least seven days before the course is scheduled to begin by sending an e-mail to carolin.schuchert@iga.uni-freiburg.de in order to enable waiting list candidates to take your place. Cancellations made directly with the teacher of a course will not be considered valid. Should you fail to attend a workshop without canceling your registration on time, be absent from more than 20% of a weekly course, or drop out of a course, you will not be permitted to attend courses in the IGA course program for the following two semesters, unless you provide us with a valid attestation or other justification. Nor will you receive a certificate in this case.

Please note: Booking courses is only permitted by using your own account!
