TUMonline & Moodle
TUMonline
TUMonline is TUM's campus management software, which you already know from your application. Through TUMonline, you can manage and organize your studies at TUM.
Please have a look at the information page for further details. This Wiki entry collects all the manuals for students using TUMonline.
Moodle
Moodle is TUM's e-learning platform. Lecturers will usually provide their supporting material, such as lecture notes or task sheets, via moodle.
You can log in to moodle using your TUM-mail-address and TUMonline password. Registration for courses is automatically transferred from TUMonline.
Campus Maps & Roomfinder
Almost all regular courses taught in CoMe take place on Munich main campus. Only selected electives and/or individual electives will take place on Garching campus.
Maps of TUM's buildings can be found on the maps and plans page. If you are looking for a specific room, you can use TUM's roomfinder.
The room numbers at TUM have four digits:
- the first digit represents the floor,
- the second digit represents the building,
- the third and fourth digits denote the room number.
Building numbers on the north site are prefixed with an “N”.
Please also have a look at the following online campus tour: https://www.explore.tum.de/campustour/interaktiv/english/.
Course & Exam Registration
Course and Exam registration are done through our portal, TUMonline; see above. All details will be explained during the welCoMe address.
It is sufficient to register for the first semester courses at this point. Registration for the courses offered during the welCoMe week can be found below.
If you want to go ahead and register anyway you are welcome to do so. Here is some frequently requested information for you:
- Course and exam registration are decoupled. You can join a course but not register for the exam. Exam registration usually opens during the lecture time, so there is plenty of time for you to decide whether to participate in the exam or not.
- Course registration in TUMonline gives you access to the course material on moodle.
- There is no fee for registering for courses.
- The best way to register for courses in TUMonline is through the Study Plan/Curriculum functionality. This way, you'll always find the right course.
Fit for TUM
Fit for TUM is a service fair for newcomer students at TUM. It usually takes place in the same week as the welCoMe week.
You will find a lot of information and events under the following link: https://www.tum.de/en/studies/during-your-studies/starting-your-studies/service-fair.
