Short overview of important websites and portals

KIT and the Department of Architecture use information and administration systems that directly affect your study organization, be it in teaching, when documents are made available, when dates for the semester are published, or when you have to register for exams. The various portals and websites fulfil different functions. The most important ones for you are briefly presented here.

Website of the KIT Department of Architecture

www.arch.kit.edu

The website of the KIT Department of Architecture functions as a pure information website. It provides an overview of the various institutions, persons, and committees of the department as well as of the courses offered. It also announces current events, dates, and publications. In the section "Organisation of studies" you can find important dates, timetables, forms etc.. There are also video tutorials on how to register for and deregister from exams to help you with this process.

The various professorships of the department also have websites. The links to these can be found under the menu item "Institutes". The websites are maintained by the professorships themselves and differ in scope and offer.

Campus Management Portal

https://campus.studium.kit.edu

The Campus Management Portal is a central platform of KIT, which manages courses, exam registration and deregistration, re-registration for the next study semester and all possible certificates. Compared to the department website, it is not only about information, but about your personal study organization. If you have difficulties with the Campus Management Portal, the Dean of Studies Office of the Department (Building 20.40, Room 139) can often help.

WiWi Portal

https://portal.wiwi.kit.edu/ys?id=6

The WiWi-Portal is used to allocate places for courses. It is only relevant in the weeks before the lecture period. Registration usually takes place via the KIT account, but if this is not yet available, registration with a private email address is also possible.

ILIAS

https://ilias.studium.kit.edu

KIT uses the learning platform ILIAS. Here, teachers can set up courses for individual learning events and modules and then make learning materials available or set up submissions. ILIAS can also be used to send e-mails or set up calendars for courses. In most cases, the professorships set up a course and then inform the students concerned about the respective joining procedure. This can be done by the professors themselves or with a link and/or password. You should definitely join the corresponding ILIAS courses in order to receive the emails and materials for the courses and to be able to hand in required performances on time!

Social Media at the Department of Architecture

http://www.arch.kit.edu/fakultaet/in_verbindung_bleiben.php

Department life includes many exhibitions, lectures, symposia and publications but also hiwi-jobs and festivals. This information is also communicated via the social media accounts of the department, the student council and the professors and teaching staff.
