TCP Bachelor

For some study programs, you may encounter problems if you want to register for courses of the TCP Bachelor and Studium Oecologicum. This is because our course program on alma is not yet linked to all study programs. In this case, please directly contact our participation administration office via kursanmeldungspam prevention@tracs.uni-tuebingen.de.

Of course, you can still attend our courses and receive your credit points for them.

The time of registration is not relevant for the allocation of places. Places are allocated on alma after the end of the registration period on a random basis in combination with the following criteria: Study regulations of your subject (e.g.: mandatory module transdisciplinary competencies or "key qualifications") and number of subject-related semesters (higher semesters are usually prioritized). You can be admitted to a maximum of three courses per semester.

Please note that places will be automatically allocated on alma. Unfortunately, conflicting schedules of different courses will not be considered during this process.
The following codes will inform you about the status of your course registration on alma after the expiration of the registration period:

• „ZU“ (zugelassen): Only with this status you have a place.
• „angem.“ (angemeldet): This does not yet mean that you have been given a place in the course!
• „AB“ (abgelehnt): You have not been given a place.

During the registration period, you can cancel your registration for courses in alma if, for example, you have clicked the wrong button by mistake. After that, deregistrations are only possible in demonstrably urgent cases via email to kursanmeldungspam prevention@tracs.uni-tuebingen.de.

Please note that you will have to deregister for the corresponding exam separately.

The access data for alma will be sent to the address given to the student secretariat after enrollment. This letter contains your user ID at the computer center (ZDV) and the initial password.
The user name for alma corresponds to your user ID at the computer center (ZDV), which is also required for other services, such as student e-mail. It is not possible for you to change the user name.

The new course program will be published on our website (see above) about four weeks before the first registration period. The courses will be visible in the university’s alma system a few days prior to the start of the registration period.

Usually, Bachelor students need 21 credit points (out of 180) for a 3-year Bachelor's program. However, there are deviations in the individual examination regulations from this rule, which is anchored in the "Statute for the Acquisition of Transdisciplinary Professional Field-Oriented Competencies". The exact number of points can be found in your exam regulations.
The number of modules/courses you have to take therefore depends on the number of credit points that have to be proven according to the corresponding exam regulations in this area.
As a rule, a transdisciplinary competence module (or "key qualifications") in the Transdisciplinary Course Program and Career Service section comprises between 1 (30 working hours) and 3 credit points (90 working hours).

The necessary requirements depend on the specific course. In any case, students are required to attend and actively participate in class. Additionally, there will be assignments like (short) presentations or term papers.

Yes, deregistrations must be send via e-mail to kursanmeldungspam prevention@tracs.uni-tuebingen.de. In case of deregistration on short notice due to sickness, we will need the medical note after 14 days at the latest.

Starting in the summer semester 2022, you will have to register for the achievements on alma in addition to the course registration. That means for the majority of our courses, paper certificates will not be issued anymore. Instead the successful completion of a course will be put on record in the alma system. Please check immediately if you have to register for an exam after you have been admitted to a course. A detailed description of how to register for an achievement on alma can be found here.

For some courses, i.e. those you cannot register for on alma, certificates of attendance (Schein) will still be issued. Currently, the certificates will only be send via e-mail; this includes the certificates from past semesters.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us by phone or via e-mail (kursanmeldungspam prevention@tracs.uni-tuebingen.de).

Report "Extracurricular Additional Achievements" for students  

If you have completed a course, this will appear under the report "Extracurricular Additional Achievements" (or Außerfachliche Zusatzleistungen as shown on alma). You can print out the report, which also contains the TRACS courses, in both German and English. Just like the Transcript of Records (ToR), this can be found under the "Achievements" menu item.  

You must take action here!

For the correct recording of your achievements on your ToR, please contact your responsible examination office towards the end of your studies. 

You can find your contact person on the website of the Central Examination Office under the respective subject areas.  

Instructions on how to find and download the report "Extracurricular additional achievements" or your transcript of records can be found on the ZDV website.

You will have to get active!

Please contact the Central Examinations Office after the semester ends for the correct crediting of your TCP courses on your transcript of records.

Make sure that you have earned the required number of credit points in the Transdisciplinary Competencies by the time you enter your second-last semester.

You can find the person in charge of your field of study on the website of the Central Examinations Office under the corresponding subsection.

In order to receive credit points for attending a course, students must register for the “examination” for the respective course on Alma. You have probably missed to do this. Since it is not possible to register independently outside the registration deadlines, you must now submit an application to “register for the exam at a later date”.

You can download the application form here. A separate application must be submitted for each course.    

Send the completed application form via email (pdf format) to:
Transdisciplinary Course Program 
Sandra Roos
E-mail: kursanmeldungspam prevention@tracs.uni-tuebingen.de

The processing time is up to four weeks. 
You will then need to arrange for the credit points to be transferred to your Transcript of Records at your examination office!
 

All courses are regularly evaluated. The anonymous evaluation forms will then be analyzed by the TCP Bachelor with the help of the Center for Evaluation and Quality Management (ZEQ). In addition, we are happy to receive your praise and criticism by e-mail.

In general you can, if they meet certain verifiable preconditions. In this case, please come in for consultation and also bring certificates, descriptions or similar documents with you, which may serve as verification.

Designated courses from various providers are part of the overall Transdisciplinary Course Program Bachelor program at the University of Tübingen. Please find more information on our website on these courses.
