Course Registration

Course pre-registration for Spring Semester 2026 will take place January 5 – January 27, 2026. During this time, students must register for all the classes they want to take.

You need to register for all courses at the Prague University of Economics and Business through the university information system InSIS. No other option!!!

It consists of 3 stages:

1. Pre-registration
2. Automated registration
3. Enrolment

   1. Pre-registration

The pre-registration serves to collect the interests of students in courses. If you do not show an interest in the course, you have basically no chance to register it after the pre-registration is closed (only if there are remaining free places in the “Enrolment stage” – see below).

The pre-registration will run from January 5 – January 27, 2026. At this stage, students show their interest in the courses they wish to study. It is absolutely necessary to pre-register for courses she/he would like to take. It is possible to pre-register also for a course, for which the system displays “there is no free capacity anymore”. Since the pre-registration is a system of orders, there is no time competition among students, there is no first-come, first-served basis – you can also pre-register for the courses on the last day, and it will have no impact on your participation in the courses.

If you miss the pre-registration, you will have no courses to study at the University!!

You should choose courses for at least 20 ECTS.

Be careful!! If you pre-register for more courses and get them confirmed during the automated registration, you have to study them! If not, it means you failed, and you will have the grade written on your Transcript of Records. We recommend registering for the courses you really want/need to study, and if, after the first automated registration, you don’t get them, you can register for them during the registration period if there is a free spot.

   2. Automated registration

Automated registration is a process where the student is not involved. During this time, the registration for courses is not open.

Each course has its capacity; in the pre-registration phase, all students select their desired courses and their planned schedules. Then, the automated registration takes place and compares the students’ demand and the capacity of the course, and selects the students (based on several criteria) who will be registered.

You can delete courses after the automated registration, BUT you cannot end up with fewer credits than the system put through the automated registration – e.g., you registered for courses of the total amount of 30 ECTS; after the automated registration, you have 28 ECTS. So that is the minimum you have to study during the semester. You can add courses and delete others, but you still have to have at least 28 ECTS as a minimum.

   3. Registration/Enrolment

The enrolment is a stage after the automated registration, where students can only enrol in courses where free spots are available.

This stage is based on time competition, first-come, first-served! (See the time schedule of the registration – time and date for changes based on the year of study). The free spots are visible in brackets. Students can see whether they were enrolled or not once they enter the enrollment. If the student was not enrolled automatically, they need to be fast and compete with others for the free spots.

During the enrollment stage, the student is able to add pre-registered courses to her/his previously planned schedule, if there is free capacity. However, you cannot delete courses if it means that you will not achieve the number of ECTS you were automatically accepted according to your pre-registration order, and you were signed up for!!!

There are 3 rounds – each round has its own rules:

Please, take note the exact date and time of registration depends on your level (semester) of studies. You can find the schedule of registrations based on your current semester of studies here. 

Intensive courses

• taught a few days during the semester on an intensive basis, in the majority by hosting lecturers from other universities
• check carefully the timetable of the course, which is inserted in the timetable in the section “NOTE” 
• the day of the teaching mentioned in the timetable is the first day of the teaching only!
• Exchange students are only allowed to take a maximum of 2 intensive courses per semester
• You should manage your registration of the intensive courses carefully – it is very likely that an intensive course will overlap with another regular course. If you are going to be absent from a regular course, you should let the respective lecturer know beforehand. Usually, in the regular course, there are 1-2 absences possible – always check with your lecturer first!

a) those, you can choose already during the pre-registration

• The course schedule indicates the day when the course starts, however, in the course “NOTE”, it is stated when the course is actually being taught (the “NOTE” is available in the syllabus next to the timetable of the course).
• Registration through regular course registration – Course Registration Guide (in pictures) here.

b) those, you can choose during the semester (i.e., Extra-semestral courses)

• Offered usually during or after the semester period, announced by the Exchange office
• Registration through the extra-semestral course registration
