Registration is via the Campus Office Online, which can be found at my.hshl.de. Here you can register for your respective exam under the tab “Registration for module exams”.

For bachelor theses / project work / semesters abroad and internship semesters, registration is sometimes made differently. If you are unsure, it is best to contact your supervising professor or find out more from your student council or from the relevant publication or module handbook.

No, unfortunately not! So please remember to register in good time! The Campus Office announces the registration deadline early every semester by email.

Yes, you do. The date for the exam review is usually sent by your teacher via email. If you have any problems, you can contact your student council or us.

Don’t be shy! Especially at the beginning, many of your fellow students are also looking for study groups. If you have already tried it personally, you can ask your semester’s WhatsApp or Facebook group.

The colleagues from the International Office will help you. You can find all the information you need here.

There is no compulsory attendance at the HSHL. Nobody forces you, but it is clear that it makes sense to attend the lectures regularly. Otherwise, at the end of the semester, you will have to deal with a lot of unprocessed material. If you have missed several lectures, you can view the respective scripts on the learning platform afterwards.

The semester fee includes both the administrative fee, to which i.a. the enrolment fee and re-registration fee count, as well as the social contribution to the student union, which i.a. is used for the operation of canteens, cafeterias, dormitories and advice centres, as well as a contribution for the student body of the university, such as the AStA and the SemesterTicket for local public transport.

Here you can find more information about the determination of the contribution amount at the HSHL.

Information about BAföG can be found in the regular advisory services on the Hamm and Lippstadt campuses. You can find the dates in the event calendar on the HSHL website, here:

Or you can contact the Studierendenwerk Paderborn directly, which is responsible for the HSHL for BAföG applications. Here you can ask all questions about application, funding period, funding amount, etc. and you will receive a professional answer.

Due to the current corona situation, your start at the HSHL will be a little different than usual. The university has summarized all the important information for you here.

You log in to the computer as you do at my.hshl.de with your @stud.hshl.de email address and your self-selected password.

Important: When you are working on projects, always remember to save your progress on a USB stick / external hard drive / cloud service, as everything you save locally on the computer cannot be accessed anywhere else.

In cooperation with the AStA, the HSHL libraries each make twelve laptops available to bowrrow for students. In addition, three devices can be borrowed for use in the libraries. You can find more information here!

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the library can currently only be operated under certain conditions. You can find out more here.

This is how it usually works:

Borrowing a book in the library and returning it works entirely without human contact through our self-checker. Here you can find out how this works.

You can find more information about the libraries on this HSHL website.

You pay with the cafeteria card. You can get it from our cafeteria ladies. A € 5 deposit is charged for the card. You can have the value of your card read out on site at the respective machines and also top up with cash (only notes). If you don’t have any cash with you: You will find an ATM (Sparkasse) at the dining halls (check with your bank whether there are any fees).

If you need a room for group work or seminar events write an email to vorstand@asta.hshl.de.

You can also book rooms for group work in the libraries of both locations. Please speak to the library staff about this. You can find more detailed information, especially with regards to the current conditions for using the libraries, here.
