New at Saarland Informatics Campus?
Starting your studies can be quite exciting. Finding your way around after enrollment is not always easy: To make it easier for you, you will find all the important steps on your way to us here - from enrollment to the start of the semester. The study coordinator, the student council and students from higher semesters are always happy to help you get started and are always open to questions and personal concerns.
First of all, you need your university ID to get in touch with us, or other freshmen.

Every year, students from higher semesters organize the Math Pre-Course, and the the Student Council organizes the Student Introduction Period, StEP for short. Together, they help new students of computer science and related courses to get started in their studies. Highly recommended!
This page of the University IT Center explains how to set up your personal access.
German Website
Here you will find all the information you need to start your first semester successfully.
From pre-courses to timetable creation or even tips on student financing and the mentor programs, you will find the information here:

Finally, you should take a look at our page with information about the current semester. Here you will find all welcome events / kick-off events but also introduction videos for the offered courses.
Welcome at Saarland Informatics Campus!
Information for Pupils
Ever taught a robot to drive, or built a scanner to capture objects in three dimensions? We want to make students aware of the computer science field at an early age, and therefore offer several programs, lectures and workshops. Why not sign up? It only takes a few clicks!
Guidance and Information for Students
What is the meaning of this passage in the study regulations? Is it possible to write a master’s thesis externally, at a company? Can I get credit for courses taken abroad? We are happy to advise you on these and other issues.
Courses and Lecturers
The lectures of the individual programs are listed on the “Teaching, Research, Study” (German abbreviation: “LSF”) portal. Students register there for exams and tests. The “collision table” makes conflicts visible at a glance.
