Registration for courses

Registration for Sprachpraxis courses in the summer semester 2026 is now open via the new eCampus system. Below is a letter from Fiona Dancy on behalf of the Sprachpraxis team.

Dear Students,

Many of you have been wondering how to get a place in an English Sprachpraxis class this semester. (If you don’t want a place in a Sprachpraxis class this semester, you can stop reading here). 

This is what we propose:

English 1 students

It is possible for you to sign up for more than one English 1 class by giving them priorities. If you want an English 1 class, please sign up on eCampus, giving priorities to as many classes as you could take / as the system allows, by 9am on Tuesday April 7. (If you have already done so, you do not need to do so again). 

After this deadline, I will allocate students to English 1 classes with the aim of giving as many students as possible their first choice while keeping classes roughly the same size. You will be able to see which class you have a place in because it will then say “ZU” (“zugelassen”) instead of “AN” (“angemeldet”). The other classes you applied for will say “ST” (“storniert”).

If you want to switch classes, you should be able to do so yourself from Wednesday April 8. It may, however, be necessary for you to cancel your place in one class before you can apply for a different one – we don’t know because no one has bothered to tell us how the system actually works. 

Anyone who missed the deadline can apply from 9am on Wednesday April 8. I will fill up classes roughly in the order of applications.

I don’t think it will be possible for you to get places on eCampus for more than one English 1 class. This means if you want a second class, you should go along to the first session of the class you’re interested in to try and get a place.

English 2 and 3 students

It seems to be possible for you to sign up for more than one English 2 or English 3 place, but you can’t give priorities. If you want an English 2 or an English 3 class, please sign up for as many as fit your timetable by 9am on Tuesday April 7. (If you have already done so, you do not need to do so again). 

After this deadline, I will allocate students to classes with the aim of giving as many students as possible a class while keeping classes roughly the same size. You will be able to see which class you have a place in because it will then say “ZU” (“zugelassen”) instead of “AN” (“angemeldet”). The other classes you applied for will say “ST” (“storniert”).

If you want to switch classes, you should be able to do so yourself from Wednesday April 8. It may, however, be necessary for you to cancel your place in one class before you can apply for a different one – we don’t know because no one has bothered to tell us how the system actually works. 

Anyone who missed the deadline can apply from 9am on Wednesday April 8. I will fill up classes roughly in the order of applications.

If you want a second or third English 2 or English 3 class, it should be possible for you to apply from Wednesday April 8. 

A few general points

• As in the old system, not giving alternatives means you risk not getting a place at all.
• Anyone who applies for a place between 9am on Tuesday April 7 and 9am on Wednesday April 8 will have their place cancelled to avoid confusion.
• We don’t actually know to what extent our registration system will work! We would encourage you to go along to the first session of any class where you are registered (“AN”) or on the waiting list (“WL”) if you want that place. It is, of course, possible not to register on eCampus at all and just to go along to the first session to see if you can get a place. However, you will go to the back of the queue behind those who have attempted to register for that class.

If you have questions, you can contact Fiona Dancy at fiona.dancy[at]uni-kassel[dot]de . However, I probably don’t know any more than you do.

Best,

Fiona Dancy (for the Sprachpraxis team).
