GeKo – Gemeinsame Kommission der Philologischen und der Philosophischen Fakultät
The GeKo (Gemeinsame Kommission) is the central examination office responsible for students in the English Department (among others). On the GeKo's website, you can find your Prüfungsordnung and your Studienverlaufsplan, as well as general rules and regulations for your degree program.
Prüfungsordnung
Your Prüfungsordnung (PO) is the guiding document for your time in the department: primarily, the PO will help you determine which courses to register for and when.* Furthermore, it provides information concerning which courses are Prüfungsleistungen (PL = graded) and which are Studienleistungen (SL = pass/fail), as well as how many ECTS points you must earn for a given course.
*The provided degree plan is a recommendation based on optimal circumstances, not a necessary requirement.
Please note:

If you wish to enroll in a course which isn't listed under the relevant module on HISinOne, please contact the academic coordinator in order to discuss the possibility of registering for course credit under individuelle Studiengestaltung (2-HF-B) or in the Ergänzungsbereich (B.A.).
