5 3 My courses
5.1 How can I view those courses which I should attend and for which I will receive a
grade?

Select Prüfungswesen - Lehrveranstaltungen (Nature of examination - courses).

Subsequently make your choice of semester (Semester auswählen) and click on "Darstellen"
(Display).

You will now find all the courses listed for which you are enrolled in the relevant semester, together
with module classification, i.e. all those courses in which you have to graduate to conclude the
semester positively. Should you discover errors in this classification, please refer the matter to
degree programme administration.

Author: Anneliese Siller, Version: 5, $selectedLabels


16/52
You will find detailed information with regard to the selected course under Details ( Details ).

In the upper section, Lehrveranstaltung (Courses), you will see the curriculum data for the
course concerned and its allocation to a particular department (Fachbereich), and also the Head
of the Department (Fachbereichsleitung).

Author: Anneliese Siller, Version: 5, $selectedLabels


17/52
The middle section, Semesterplandaten (Semester data), shows the Course Instructor (
Lehrveranstaltungsleitung). This is the person responsible for the co-ordination of the course and
for recognition of previous knowledge. The deadline for recognition (Anrechnungsfrist) shows the
latest date you can have this course recognized (see How can I get my previous knowledge
recognized for courses?). The content of the course and assessment criteria are updated by the
Course Instructor.
You see Beurteilung (Assessment) as soon as a date for the exam has been set and registration
for the exam has been created / implemented. Anrechnung (Recognition) is visible just as long as
the course is open to recognition applications.

After clicking on Beurteilung ( Assessement ), you will see the individual exam dates and also the
results of each. The last assessment in each case will be entered on the certificate. In addition,
you see the assessment criteria in each case and any comments which the examiner has posted.

5.2 How can I get my previous knowledge recognized for courses?

You have the possibility of getting prior education (e.g. courses already successfully completed at
a University) recognizes for courses at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences.
Before recognition can be granted, it is necessary to scan your documentation (course
certificates, course description, certifications, etc.) and to join them together into a single
document.
Click on Anträge - Anrechnung (Applications - Recognition).

Author: Anneliese Siller, Version: 5, $selectedLabels


18/52
Now select the current or future semester as appropriate and the degree programme.

Click on "Darstellen" (Display).


You will now see all the courses listed for which you are enrolled in this semester. Each course
you are to attend has a deadline for recognition. Your application for recognition must be
completed and sent in by the due date.

Choose the appropriate course by clicking on Anrechnung (Recognition).


Should you not be able to locate the Anrechnung button, the deadline for recognition has already
passed and you can no longer apply for recognition of any kind with respect to this particular
course.

Author: Anneliese Siller, Version: 5, $selectedLabels


19/52
Choose the option Angerechnet aufgrund von Vorkenntnissen (Recognized on the basis of
previous knowledge). Give your document a name and upload it.
Click on "Antrag abschicken" (Despatch application).

It is open to you to revise the document up to the time when the Course Instructor either grants,
of refuses to grant, recognition.

Author: Anneliese Siller, Version: 5, $selectedLabels


20/52
Please be sure to upload all relevant information (in a composite document). Once the Course
Instructor has declined recognition, you have NO FURTHER CHANCE to get recognition
for this course! Resolve questions as to content with the Course Instructor in advance in an
interview or per E-Mail.
The Course Instructor checks the description of content already prepared by you (the upload) with
the course to be held and makes the decision regarding recognition. The Degree programme
Head subsequently reappraises the recognition.

5.3 How can I see whether recognition of previous knowledge has been granted?

You can check the particular status under Prüfungswesen - eigene Anrechnungen (Nature of
examination - Recognition) or under Anträge - Anrechnung (Applications - Recognition). You
are not exempted from attending the course or from the exam until final clearance by the Degree
programme Head has been given. Absence before final assent to recognition has been given will
be treated as unexcused absence where recognition is declined, with entrance to the exam being
denied.

21/52
5.4 How do I register for exams?

You will be automatically registered for exams. Exam dates are binding. If you are absent for
exams you will be assessed with Nicht genügend (Failed), unless you produce evidence of
justification for absence.

5.5 How can I see my chosen optional courses?

You will see all the courses you are to attend in this semester under Prüfungswesen -
Lehrveranstaltungen (Nature of examination - Courses ). Right at the bottom, under Pool
Lehrveranstaltungen (Pool Courses), you will see optional courses or courses of choice for which
you have registered. You have to complete all courses successfully in order to be issued with your
certificate.
Should you have either an incorrect allocation of courses or no courses at all, we would ask you to
contact the appropriate degree programme administration.

5.6 How can I evaluate my courses?

The course evaluation at the FHS is performed anonymously and is carried out each semester.
Use the opportunity to give an anonymous, honest and constructive feedback concerning the
content composition of the respective course, as well as the lecturers.
Only a participation of all students in the evaluation (high response rate) can facilitate significant
results, from which conclusive measures can be derived.
Select the menu item Evaluierungen - LVA Evaluieren to find an overview of the courses that you
are attending / attended in the current semester and which have been released for evaluation.

Author: Anneliese Siller, Version: 5, $selectedLabels


22/52
When you now click on the button Evaluieren , you will be transferred to the appropriate online
evaluation in EvaSys. Login to the EvaSys occurs with a tan code which is generated by the
system in the background. Once the questionnaire has been sent, the tan allocation is
automatically deleted.
This guarantees that the questionnaire participant remains anonymous.

way you prefer (e.g. Internet banking or payment form).
In the case of correct payment (where the customer data panel has been properly completed),
you will be registered within three days and can print out confirmations.
In the case of incorrect payment (customer data panel not completed or completed incorrectly),
allocation of the payment must be carried out manually and the payment cannot be processed
before 14 days after being credited to the bank account. Only then is a print out of confirmations
possible.
Please take note: the invoice number which you enter in the customer data panel when
making the transfer changes each semester! You are mailed concerning this each semester.

7 5 My scientific paper 26/52


Author: Anneliese Siller, Version: 5, $selectedLabels
7 5 My scientific paper
7.1 How can I apply for a Scientific Paper?

Click on Anträge – Wissenschaftliche Arbeiten (Applications – Scientific paper).

Author: Anneliese Siller, Version: 5, $selectedLabels


27/52
All of the following fields must be completed fully for a successful application: Arbeitstitel (thesis
title), englischer Arbeitstitel (English title), Fragestellung der WA (research question of the
scientific paper), BetreuerIn (supervisor). Aside from this a document must be uploaded in *.pdf,
*.docx or *.doc format (max. 2MB) under Exposee-Upload . The Bachelor’s/Master's Guide
defines the actual entry requirements for each field.

Please write your entry directly in FHs3ys and do not copy it from another document. When using
the copy & paste function some special characters may not be transferred correctly and your
research question could look like the following in FHs3ys:
Ist die typografische Gestaltung nach den Grundsätzen der ¿Schweizer Typografie¿ in
der Schriftgestaltung noch aktuell für das Design im 21 Jahrhundert?
When you have edited your entry, click on “Beantragen” in order to close the file.

Author: Anneliese Siller, Version: 5, $selectedLabels


28/52
The preferred supervisor will be notified that he or she has been chosen by you as a supervisor.
Subsequently the supervisor will review your entries and will either accept or reject the role as
the supervisor. Should he or she reject the role, you will be informed by Automail.
The supervisor has the opportunity to write a message to you in the Information field.

Author: Anneliese Siller, Version: 5, $selectedLabels


29/52
Depending on the reason for rejection you are required to apply for another supervisor in FHs3ys,
adapt your research question or you may even have to change your research topic. Every time
you click on “Erneut beantragen”, the supervisor is requested to look at your edited data and to
decide whether to accept the role as the supervisor.
As soon as the supervisor accepts the supervision of your scientific paper, you can no longer
change the application details.
Please be aware that according to examination regulations, the final decision about the
allocation of the supervisor as well as the approval of a bachelor/master thesis topic lies with the
Head of the Degree Programme.

Author: Anneliese Siller, Version: 5, $selectedLabels


30/52
7.2 How can I see if my supervisor has agreed to supervise my thesis and if the head of
the degree programme has accept my topic?

Under Anträge – Wissenschaftliche Arbeiten (Applications – Scientific paper) you can always
have a look in the Status section to see whether the preferred supervisor has agreed to supervise
your scientific paper. A possible rejection of your application is shown here too as well as a
positive or negative decision from the Head of the Degree Programme.

In addition you will be immediately informed of a rejection from the supervisor or the Head of
Degree Programme through Automail. If the supervisor would like to take on the supervision of
your thesis, you will only receive this information by mail after the programme director has given
their final OK.

7.3 How can I apply for a blocking of the scientific paper?

After the Head of the Degree Programme has approved the supervisor and the topic of the
scientific paper, you can apply for a blocking of your bachelor/master thesis if you wish the
topic discussed therein to be inaccessible to the public.
For the application please submit to the degree programme administration office a document
issued by the company you have cooperated with during the preparation of your scientific paper.
This document in *.pdf or *.doc format must include a reason for the blocking and the desired
dates of the blocking. Please take note that compelling reasons are required for a blocking and
the length of the blocking according to the University of Applied Sciences’ examination regulations
can last a maximum of 2 years for a bachelor thesis and 5 years for a master thesis. Since every
scientific paper is published anonymising data in many cases provides a better alternative.

Author: Anneliese Siller, Version: 5, $selectedLabels


31/52
The final decision however, whether the blocking is granted, lies with the Head of the Degree
Programme. This decision is usually not made before the submittal of the scientific paper.
If the blocking of your scientific paper is approved, you will be informed of the ruling immediately
by Automail. Only the abstract and the table of contents will be made public during the
agreed time frame, but not the digital version of your scientific paper.

7.4 How can I submit my scientific paper digitally?

The submittal of specific chapters or parts of the scientific paper in FHs³ys is not allowed. FHs³ys
provides the documentation of the final results of the scientific paper and therefore will encourage
the upload of the finalised scientific paper only. Before the deadline, uploaded documents
can be exchanged as necessary. Please take note that the supervisor may have already potentially
started the assessment of your scientific paper and inform him/her of effective changes.
For the digital submission of your finalised scientific paper click on Anträge – Wissenschaft-liche
Arbeiten (Applications – Scientific paper).

Before the deadline you have the opportunity to fill out the data of your scientific paper here and to
upload the required documents.

Author: Anneliese Siller, Version: 5, $selectedLabels


32/52
Record the information in the fields shown above endgültiger Titel (final title), endgültiger
englischer Titel (final english title), min. 5 Schlüsselwörter (5 keywords), min. 5 Keywords and
make sure that the information entered is spelt correctly as these designations will be used in all
consequent documents such as on your degree certificate for example. Therefore also avoid
copying information to make sure that special characters, umlauts, ligatures and so forth are
entered correctly.
When you leave the check box activated, you agree to your data being published on the University
of Applied Sciences’ home page ( Veröffentlichung der AbsolventInnen Daten auf der FHS-
Homepage ). In this case, the following information: name, completed course of study, year of
graduation, titles of your scientific papers and your university of Applied Sciences’ email address
will be made public under http://www.fh-salzburg.ac.at/alumni/absolventinnen/. Should you no
longer agree with the publication of your data you can always revoke your consent by email at
alumni-service@fh-salzburg.ac.at.
In this step, please upload the following: Gliederungsübersicht (table of contents), abstract and
the digital version of your scientific paper . At the same time bear in mind that only uploads of
documents in *.pdf, *.docx or *.doc format are permissible and that the file size of the
abstract and the table of contents may not exceed 2MB. In the case of the digital version
the size limit is 50MB.

Author: Anneliese Siller, Version: 5, $selectedLabels


33/52
After you have reviewed your entries and uploads, click on the button “Wissenschaftliche Arbeit
abschließen” (scientific paper complete) in order to save your entries. The supervisor will also be
informed about your digital submission of the scientific paper and the evaluation and assessment
of your research paper can follow.
If the deadline has already passed then digital submission is no longer possible. The
following information is shown:

According to the University of Applied Sciences‘ examination regulations a bachelor/master thesis


which is not submitted by the deadline will receive a failing grade. This grade is then
entered into FHs3ys. After that you have the opportunity to upload your bachelor/master thesis for
a second grading. As soon as the upload opportunity has been activated again, you will be
informed about it by Automail.

7.5 How can I see the assessment of my bachelor/master thesis?

If your supervisor or the panel has come to an agreement and awarded a grade and this has been
entered into FHs3ys, you will be informed about it by Automail. You can see/review your
assessment under Anträge – Wissenschaftliche Arbeiten (Applications – Scientific paper), on
your track record of the given semester or under Prüfungswesen – Lehrveranstaltungen –
Beurteilung (Auditing – Lecutre).
With a positive assessment, the scientific paper is therefore complete.
If your scientific paper has been assessed negatively, you have a total of three possible
attempts to complete the scientific paper successfully. On the third attempt, a panel
assessment is required. This means that in addition to your supervisor two other people read
and examine your bachelor/master thesis.
