Anyone who wants to participate in a chargeable class, workshop, excursion or event, must enroll for and pay for it. The fee depends on the user group you belong to (students, employees, guests).

We want to point to the fact that places in our sports classes cannot be reserved. Enrollment has been successful, if you have paid for the class via one of the above mentioned payment methods.

If the actual number of participants is only one or two below the minimum number, the first unit will normally take place, so that still unregistered people have the chance to do a test training and to register afterwards. So after the first unit we will now, if the course can take place or not. If we must cancel the course, you will be informed by University Sports via email.

You can book yourself on the waiting list (same process as the normal booking; instead of "In den Warenkorb" you will find "Auf die Warteliste"). In case there is a place available again, we will inform all people on the waiting list via email. You have then the chance to book the place.

Yes, this is possible. If you like the course, you can register for it afterwards – given the fact there are still free places.

We are sorry, but due to an enormous administration effort we cannot issue such certificates. However, we confirm the participation in our sports classes in your bonus booklet.

Cancellation or rebooking of chargeable classes can be done before the course starts in person at the University Sports Center or via email. If the course has already started, you can rebook or cancel your place only within three working days after the first unit has taken place by paying a service fee of 5 Euros. After that, no rebookings or cancellations are possible anymore. The course fee will not be refunded, if you fail to appear (injuries or diseases belong to this).

Cancellation of workshops or events can be done until one week before the event takes place free of charge. After that time, we will keep the whole fee, also if you fail to appear in case of injury or disease.

University Sports can cancel classes, workshops or events, if e.g. the minimum number of participants could not be reached. You can find the minimum number of participants in each course description. In case of course cancellation, the course fee won't be debited from your account. If you have already paid, we will of course refund the money. No further claims can be made.

We try hard not to cancel courses at short notice. However, this can apply for courses taking place in sport venues that do not belong to the University. Also short-term diseases of our trainers can lead to course cancellations. If we have to cancel chargebable courses, we try to make up for the cancelled event later on. No further claims can be made, though.
