FAQ
You’ve still got some questions, or need a better overview? Right here, we have summarized the most frequently asked questions:
How do I register for a course on this page?!
It’s really not hard. Go to the tab “Cultural Courses” or “Socially Critical Tutorials,” select your course there, and a sign-up button will appear. In the window that opens, simply enter your name, an email address, and how many registrations you’re making—and you’re done.
The rest is automated. Since our courses are free and the number of participants is limited, we’ll remove from the roster anyone who misses the first few sessions without a valid reason (a brief, informal cancellation is sufficient), so that other students also have the opportunity to participate in the courses.
Courses with fewer than 5 registrants unfortunately cannot take place and may still be canceled.
I have registered for a course but have not yet received a confirmation email!
If you do not receive a confirmation shortly after registration, we apologise. This is not because the course is full or you are not registered, but simply because we have to confirm each enrolment individually. In some cases, however, it may also be because we are still in consultation with the course organisers and there are therefore delays. We apologise for this.
My course that I want to attend and is on the flyer cannot be found on the site! I cannot register!
In some cases, courses may be removed from the website for a short time for revision purposes, but will soon be available again for registration. Please check the website again later. Should there still be difficulties here, simply write to us at kulturkurs@asta.uni-hamburg.de
The times and dates on the flyer are different to those on the website!
It may be that a course with different times has to be offered at short notice. We apologise if this is the case, but the homepage always shows the most up-to-date information!
Strangely enough, only the University of Hamburg is listed as a room! What is that! Where does the course take place?
Since we have to book each room individually and we only have one course room at our full disposal, but some courses overlap in time, we have to book additional rooms. As a rule, your instructors should notify you via email in the event of last-minute room changes. The courses will definitely take place—even if the room information is still pending!
Can I deregister from courses, do I then have to pay fees?
Yes, you can, but please drop out in a timely manner so that other students have the chance to sign up!
To do so, send an email to kulturkurs@asta.uni-hamburg.de.
Is there any way I can get a confirmation of attendance? (for CV, application, ...)
Yes, just send us an email. (kulturkurs@asta.uni-hamburg.de)
How do I contact my course instructor?
Dear course participant,
You can find the email contact details for your course instructor by clicking on the course on the homepage (www.kulturkursprogramm.de) under the course description in bold at the bottom.
If you as a course participant receive emails from your course instructor via the Edoobox system, you will not be able to reach your course instructor if you reply to these emails! (The sender is therefore also called ‘noreply@edoobox-mail.com’) These mails are received by us as AStA and do not reach your course leader! We cannot forward them because of the volume. So send your course leaders an e-mail to the e-mail addresses given on the homepage!
