How to plan a course which takes place in multiple periods?
You can use the Osiris PlanApp to plan your individual study programme and to request approval for your electives. Planning your courses can be done in several ways in the PlanApp. Via Plan Later (A), via Curriculum (B) and via the Course Catalogue (C).
NOTE: Some courses take place in multiple periods or years. It is important to note that you cannot plan these courses over several years. So, you have to plan such a course in the periods of the year in which the largest part of the course takes place. For example, a course which you want to take in period 5 and 6 of year 2 and period 1 of year 3. In this case, you plan the course in period 5 and 6 of year 2 only.
This is also the case when you plan a thesis, research practice or internship, which is described in the manual How to plan a thesis, research practice or internship?.
BE AWARE to always save your plan in between changes and before you close the PlanApp. Additionally, to make your plan definite, you need to request approval for your electives. For information on how to request approval for your electives, see the manual How to request approval for electives?
