Token registration for general university courses (OGUNs)
What is the token registration for general university courses?
Students and doctoral students register for general university courses online, using the UL service of the USOS system, by means of token-type registration. This means that in order to register for general university courses, OG-type tokens are required.
How many rounds of registration for general university courses are there?
Registration for general university courses happens in two rounds, the first round being a dedicated round. This means that some of the general university courses are offered only to specific degree programs or study programs. In that case, only students/doctoral students of the specified programs can register for the course. During the second round of registration there is no dedication, the students/doctoral students can register for all available courses.
Who assigns the tokens for general university courses to students and doctoral students, and when does it happen?
Tokens are assigned to students and doctoral students during the matriculation process by the staff members of university units.
How many OG-type tokens do students and doctoral students receive?
A student receives 300 OG-type tokens, while a doctoral student receives 120 OG-type tokens. One token corresponds to one hour of class.
What should I do if I do not have enough OG-type tokens?
In the case that a student does not have enough OG-type tokens to fulfill the obligations resulting from their study program, they should submit an application to the head of the teching unit (HTU) requesting that their token limit be increased. In such a case, additional tokens are assigned free of charge.

Registrations for general university courses happen in two rounds (for each semester of the academic year) and are divided into three categories of subjects: Sciences, Humanities and Social Sciences. Registrations for each category begin with a couple of days’ interval. This division is meant to facilitate the choice of a subject from the field of science most suitable for the student/doctoral student. In the summer semester of the 2020/21 academic year a pilot round of registrations for general university courses which take place during the holiday period was introduced.
