Eligibility to attend individual courses

Students at FHNW do not pay any tuition or auditor fees to the University of Basel. However, they are not entitled to earn academic degrees (student regulations, § 29).

A special agreement exists for secondary level I degree programs as well as in educational science. All course registrations – including classes at the University of Basel – are handled by FHNW. Students in secondary level II degree programs and who have remaining requirements to fulfill to earn their HLA subject qualifications can earn the necessary credit points without proper enrollment at the University of Basel only if the number of credit points does not exceed a total of 20.

The completed and signed course registration sheet must be submitted, along with a scan of an FHNW student ID valid for the corresponding semester, by e-mail via www.unibas.ch/studseksupport to the Student Administration Office no more than four weeks after the lecture period begins. Course registration sheets submitted late will not be accepted.
