Not everything goes according to plan during one's studies – mandatory courses that overlap, no space in your desired seminar, an examination that hasn't been corrected by the promised deadline, or a workload that is way too high.

There are staff members available in all teaching units, departments and faculties to help you if you have a problem.
Examples of possible problems

Most issues can be easily resolved by speaking with the contact partner on location. Because they are well-acquainted with the specific circumstances, they are usually able to fix the problem quickly and unbureaucratically.

If the contact partners in the teaching units, departments and faculties do not – or cannot – provide the assistance you need, or if your criticism applies to cross-disciplinary matters of teaching and academic organisation (examples), you can contact the central Complaints Office of the University of Münster.
