Guest auditors
You can register as a guest auditor if you are interested in attending lectures at Heidelberg University without being enrolled as a regular student. This will enable you to attend lectures from a wide range of subject areas.
Registration
You do not need any special qualifications to register as a guest auditor. You do not need any special school leaving certificate (see Act on Higher Education of the Land of Baden Württemberg § 64).
You can find the registration forms online. Only request paper copies in exceptional cases (this is possible by calling +49 (0)6221/54 54 54 during the registration period).
Please register on the heiCO platform of Heidelberg University if you are registering as a guest auditor for the first time (if you do not have any Uni-ID from Heidelberg University yet). Make sure that you are only registering but not applying. If you already have a registration number, you do not need to register – please only submit the required forms in this case.
Please submit the completed guest auditor documents to the following address:
Heidelberg University
Dept. 2.1 Student Administration
Seminarstraße 2
D-69117 Heidelberg
Please note: The guest auditor confirmation will only be issued in letter form.
Registration deadline
Registration for the summer semester should be completed between 01 March and 30 April. The dates for the winter semester are from 01 August to 31 October.
INFORMATION ON COURSE SELECTION
