New for summer semester 2025: The guest auditors‘ get-together 

Would you like to meet other guest auditors and network in a relaxed atmosphere over coffee and cake? Would you like to talk to like-minded people about the courses you have booked or your experiences as a guest auditor? In summer semester 2025, we offer a guest auditors‘ get-together every two weeks during the lecture period on Wednesdays from 14:00-16:00 in Klippo (on the ground floor of the central building). The guest auditors‘ get-together is aimed at all registered guest auditors at Leuphana.

The dates in detail

• 7 May 2025, 2.00-4.00 p.m.

A few weeks before lectures begin, we open our online portal myCampus for registration for the guest auditor programme. There you can register for the courses you have chosen from our guest auditor directory. After your registration has been checked, you will receive a request for payment by e-mail. After successful receipt of payment, you will receive your guest auditor's certificate by mail.

In addition, you will receive the access data for your Leuphana account and Leuphana mail account by e-mail/SMS. If you were already a guest auditor in the previous semester, you can use your existing Leuphana account from the previous semester. With the access data you can log in to myStudy and your mail account to view all current information about your booked courses.

You can find detailed step-by-step instructions on how to enroll in our FAQs.

The costs for your participation in the guest auditor programme depend on the number of semester hours per week you take.

The fee for up to 4 semester hours per week (SWS) is 125.00 euros per semester. If you wish to take more than 4 SWS, you will pay a fee of 185.00 euros per semester (from the summer semester 2025; subject to the formal decision on the change).

In order to enable those with limited financial means to participate in the guest auditor programme, you can apply for a waiver of the guest auditor fee and submit it by post via the Infoportal. 

The course catalogue (German: „Gasthörerverzeichnis“) is only available in German, but the contents of the courses held in English are also described in English. 

It is possible to take exams as a guest student. Please have your lecturer confirm in writing that you are allowed to take the exam using the form below („Antrag Prüfungsleistung“, only available in German).
