Guests

The various guests of FAU have the opportunity to participate in courses or even to help shape them, as in the case of guest lecturers. All guests of the university receive temporary access to the StudOn teaching and learning platform, which gives them access to the courses relevant to them. Unlike regular users, persons with a guest access can NOT join courses in StudOn on their own.
The following overview contains information on which persons study or teach at FAU for a short period of time and which conditions must be met in order to obtain StudOn access.
If lecturers, cooperation partners, etc. are to work at FAU for more than 6 months, need access to many different courses and/or write permissions to be able to create content themselves, and also need access to other FAU services, we recommend applying for IdM access at the IdM portal. You can find the application form here.

  • Senior studies are intended for people who want to get a taste of everyday university life (again) or who want to attend lectures and seminars purely out of interest and for the fun of learning. No degree is acquired.
