FAQ heiCO
heiCO is the future central campus management system of Heidelberg University. All processes from application and enrolment to exam registration and the generation of final documents will be covered and administered there.
Currently (winter semester 23/24) not all degree programmes have been migrated to heiCO. The M.Sc. Economics is one of two pilot degree programmes that is already fully managed there. From the summer semester 2024, all AWI courses will be available in heiCO. The Bachelor's degree programme with all course data (grades, credists, etc.) will then follow in the course of the summer semester.
Where can I find instructions/manuals for heiCO?
The project team provides various instructions for applicants and students on their website. You can find them linked here.
Do I have to register for AWI courses in heiCO?
No, it is still not necessary to register for AWI courses. If places are allocated for seminars, details can be found in the event commentary.
How can I create a timetable?
If you have not registered for courses in heiCO, you can book courses by clicking on the star next to the title. Courses with a registration are displayed directly after clicking on the My courses tile on the start page. You will also find the bookmarked courses there, but you need to click on the My Bookmarked Courses tab.
In the calendar settings (see instructions above), you should also activate the option Show dates for my bookmarked groups so that your bookmarked courses are also displayed there. You can also integrate the calendar into other apps and programmes (via iCal, click on Publish).
I have bookmarked a lecture in heiCO/registered for the moodle course, do I also have to register for the exam?
Yes, bookmarking the lecture/exercise or enrolling into the Moodle-course has no effect whatsoever. It is always mandatory to register for the exams within the respective deadlines via heiCO.
Problem when registering for exams
I cannot register for exams: Calculation not yet completed (BA and MA)
If you cannot select a context when registering for exams due to an error message indicating a calculation that has not yet been completed, please wait a little. This calculation can take some time (sometimes minutes, sometimes hours). You should then be able to select the appropriate context.
I cannot register for exams: There is already a positive result (BA and MA)
If you were able to select a context and then the registration fails, please select a different entry under Context. In the case of the screenshot here, this would also begin with [MSc2b-EL] Elective Lecture in Economics.
