Semester Registration
All matriculated students and doctoral students currently enrolled at the University of Basel will receive via email correspondence to their university email address an invitation to register for the forthcoming semester within a stipulated registration period.
Registration serves to notify the university of envisaged future plans (registration, exmatriculation, leaves of absence, etc.). Registration will proceed exclusively via the Online Services. New students in their first semester cannot register via the Online Services; they should first submit an application and proceed with matriculation within the official registration period.
Only immatriculated students can acquire credit points, take exams, etc. In this respect, the rectorate has decreed regulations concerning compulsory immatriculation for the acquisition of credit points and taking of examinations in which the applicable deadlines are defined.
Students are advised to submit their semester registration via the Online Services.
