Start of courses/orientation events
Courses
generally begin each semester in the first week of lectures. Orientation
courses are to be scheduled in the last week of the lecture-free period. The
Presidential Board is working on a solution to harmonize the orientation
courses of all subjects.
Organization of courses
Courses
with more than 2 participants must be held. Courses with 2 or fewer
participants can be cancelled, unless they are compulsory courses. Compulsory
courses must be held if there is at least 1 participant. Courses that do not
take place must be reported to the Dean's Office and offered again in a later
semester within three years.
Module exams
The
examinations in the modularized degree courses require some additional
administrative work. You can find information on the regulations of the Central
Examination Office for Teacher Training Programs here.
Fulfillment of teaching duties
At the end
of each semester, the Dean's Office is required to ask lecturers about the fulfilment
of their teaching obligations. Information on this, an excerpt from the
Teaching Duties Regulations and a form for declaring fulfilment can be found
here.
Admission numbers
The
admission numbers for restricted degree courses at the University of Frankfurt are
decided by the Presidential Board. The numbers are published each semester in
the UniReport aktuell. You can find them on the internet at the following

Binding time slots for practical school studies in the teacher training courses
With the introduction of modularized studies, it has become much more difficult to ensure that teacher training courses (especially L1 courses) can be completed within the standard period of study. Following consultations between the departments, the Office for Practical School Studies, the ZLF and the President's Office, the following time slots have been declared binding for practical school studies:
Tuesday, 08.00 - 10.00 a.m.
Wednesday, 08.00 - 10.00 a.m.
Friday, 12 - 14 and 14 - 16 hrs.
Other courses relevant to the teaching profession in the subjects or basic sciences which (a) must be taken regularly in the 2nd to 5th semester and for which (b) there are no or only a few alternative courses, should not be offered during these times.

Schedule for courses in the L1 degree program
Due to the
complex structure of the degree program, the compulsory areas involved in the
L1 area have drawn up a course schedule that provides certain time slots for
different areas in the L1 degree program. A review of the courses planned
(also) for L1 with regard to this schedule helps to reduce overlapping
problems. The ABL asks for particular attention to be paid to courses that are
only offered once (e.g. introductory lectures) or whose postponement entails
greater effort for students (e.g. two-semester courses).
