Der Kursantrag: So richten Sie Kurse mit und ohne WueStudy-Verknüpfung ein

The course request: How to set up courses with and without a WueStudy link


If you log in with a valid JMU staff account, you not only gain access to WueCampus but also to a few special functions. One of them is requesting courses. You can find it in the navigation bar under the entry Course request.

By the end of this guide, you will be able to create and request all courses from WueStudy as well as cross-semester course rooms. If you do make a mistake or run into problems with your course, please feel free to contact us. We will help you get the course room working correctly again.

Semestrierte Kurse aus WueStudy anlegen – Vorbereitung
Creating semester courses from WueStudy – Preparation

Before requesting a course from WueStudy, please make sure that your WueStudy event has been entered correctly. The data of an event is only transmitted to us as part of the daily data exchange with the central administration if:
  • the event has been created in WueStudy for the corresponding semester,
  • the event is displayed in the course catalog, and
  • the event is correctly assigned to the relevant modules.
Once these requirements are met, the event data is transmitted to us and you can select the event in the course request. For this, you need the event number (VNr.) from WueStudy. You can find it, among other places, here:

You can find more information on the procedure in WueStudy on the WueStudy help page. If you need further support using WueStudy, please contact the WueStudy support.

Semestrierte Kurse aus WueStudy anlegen – Der Kursantrag
Creating semester courses from WueStudy – The course request

First, select the appropriate semester in the navigation bar. In the next window, enter the event number from your WueStudy event.

In the next view, you can check at the top whether the correct event name is displayed.

Then specify the following details:

  • Lecturer (in the image: 1): If you are requesting the course for yourself, just check that your user ID is entered correctly. Otherwise, enter the lecturer with their JMU ID.
  • WueCampus course instructor (in the image: 2): This is an optional second course instructor. If you want to reuse course templates from previous semesters, you can enter the main lecturer of the source courses as the lecturer and yourself as the course instructor. This way, you can continue editing the course room after the request. Regardless of these two people, you can manually enroll as many additional people as lecturers and course instructors as you like in the finished course room.
  • Category (in the image: 3): Here you assign your course to the WueCampus category tree. The suggestions are based on the associated modules and lecture references in WueStudy.

Click Next to proceed to the most important page of the course request.

  • Short name (in the image: 1): The semester abbreviation is appended automatically.
  • Enrollment key (in the image: 2): If you set an enrollment key here, participants will not be transferred automatically from WueStudy. Only use this option if you deliberately want to disable automatic enrollment. You must then give the key to your participants at the start of the course. If you also want to offer self-enrollment in addition to the WueStudy enrollment, you can set it up later in the finished course room. Leave this field empty for that.
  • Import course content (in the image: 3): Here you can select an old course room of the lecturer. The import is optional and can also be started later in the finished course room.
  • Sub-groups (in the image: 4): This is the most important part of the course request and is described in the next section.

Semestrierte Kurse aus WueStudy anlegen – Der Kursantrag und Parallelgruppen
Creating semester courses from WueStudy – The course request and parallel groups

Parallel groups are the most common source of errors when setting up semester courses. Don't worry: if you notice that something went wrong, just contact us. We will correct the settings afterwards.

In WueStudy, parallel groups are the individual groups within an event. They can look like this, for example:

Depending on the event, parallel groups are either used to divide participants into exercise groups or represent actual groups with different lecturers. There are two options for creating the course room:

  • One course room for all parallel groups: Do not select any parallel group here and complete the course request. Creating an overall course completely "uses up" the event, so it is no longer available for further course requests.
  • One course room for individual groups: Select all the groups you want and enter the lecturer's name or a different title. This action does not use up the event, so further courses can still be requested under this number.

At the end, a link to your course room is transferred back to WueStudy. This link is called either "WueCampus course room" or "WueCampus course room (Group X – "Your entry")". You have now successfully requested a semester course room and can continue editing your course elements.


Kursräume unabhängig von der Semestrierung beantragen
Requesting course rooms independent of the semester structure

Course rooms can also be created in WueCampus independently of events from WueStudy, for example for a template course, a course room for distributing information, staff training, or self-study courses. These courses do not need to be related to events in WueStudy.

As a rule, we reject requests for WueStudy events submitted through this form. Please use the course request described above for those.

You can request a cross-semester course room as follows: Navigation bar → Course request → Cross-semester. This opens a form that looks like this:

Please fill in all required fields. In the reasons field, you can also state wishes for setting up the course, such as imports, enrollments, or other administrative tasks that we should take care of while creating it.
