First-year students

The Biology & Biochemistry student council is made up of committed and partly elected students from the Biology, Biochemistry and Teaching Biology degree programmes. They represent the interests of all students in the faculty and are an important point of contact for questions, concerns or problems relating to studying.

At the start of studies, the student council (for) Biology & Biochemistry invites all first-semester students to an Introductory Events for New Students. There you will receive helpful information about starting your degree programme and get to know your fellow students.

Current dates and further information can be found here: (https://www.fs-biologie.de/) (external link, opens in a new window)!

Registration in SPUR, G.R.I.P.S. and Flexnow is possible after enrolment with your CC account (e.g.: vip12345).

Course catalogues (SPUR)

• You can access the course catalogues via our campus portal SPUR
• The course catalog lists all courses by degree programme and semester (Bachelor of Science -> Biochemistry)

• All current information on a course can be found there.

G.R.I.P.S. = e-learning platform of the University of Regensburg

• Documents relating to the courses, e.g. lecture notes, lecture slides, videos of lectures etc. are uploaded to GRIPS.

• To do this, students must register for the relevant course in G.R.I.P.S.

Flexnow = electronic examination administration system

• Registration for all written exams (final module exams) and coursework takes place in Flexnow.
• Participation in a module examination (written exam) is only possible by registering in Flexnow.
• The registration deadline for written exams is five working days before the exam!
• If you have any problems registering for a written exam, please contact the member of the teaching staff, the Biology/Biochemistry Examinations Office or the degree program coordinator before the exam.
• Registration for a written exam will be checked before or during the exam, or must be confirmed by the student on a cover sheet by signature.
• Students can access the documentation of their own examination results in Flexnow at any time.

With your CC account you will receive a university e-mail address (vorname.name@stud.uni-r.de).

Please use your student e-mail address when sending enquiries to university institutions (e.g. Registrar's Office, Examinations Office, Student Advisory Service, professors, etc.). To ensure that we do not pass on your personal data to unauthorised third parties (keyword "data protection"), we can only process your questions if they are sent from your university e-mail address (or, of course, in a direct conversation).

Access to GroupWise from outside the university is possible via WebAccess(https://gw.uni-regensburg.de) (external link, opens in a new window).
