FAQ heiCO: Bookmarking Courses
There are two options for integrating courses (LV) into your personal calendar and creating a timetable:
- Registration procedure: Courses with a registration procedure for which you have registered are displayed directly, e.g. under My courses.
- Bookmarking: Courses without a registration procedure can be added to your calendar via the bookmarking function. In general, you can reserve courses by clicking on the star next to the course.
You can also export or subscribe to your personal heiCO calendar in other apps and programs. If individual dates are canceled or there are room changes, you will see these in your calendar (but only if you have subscribed to it, not after an export and import).

Two paths to your courses
There are two ways to preregister for courses:
- My degree program: here you will find the courses assigned to the individual modules.
- Courses: here you can quickly find courses whose names you already know or find all courses at Heidelberg University, e.g. for the interdisciplinary module ECON1e/MScE2a.
