This does also include former employess of Paderborn University (retirees/pensioners) and alumni of Paderborn University (all former students and employees of Paderborn University who received the confirmation according to their registration as alumni). In addition to that the head of the university sports department is allowed to accredit a certain number of guests or external members for participation.
The registration process for sports courses is via internet. In exceptional cases registrations for courses can be done manually through the Hochschulsport Service in SP2 during the office hours. This is not possible before the official registration has started.
Terms of Payment
Most offers of the University Sports Department are with costs. The amount differs by sport and exakt length and is meant to reach a break-even point. Costs differs for four groups (students/employees/ former students/external users).
Regardless of their workload employees and former students do have to book the sports ticket for employees in advance of their booking. With this the fee is the same as for students. You are regarded as a student as soon as your are able to show your confirmation of enrolment.
The payment is made during the registration process by SEPA-direct debit. Therefore you will receive a payment reminder in a seperate mail. We take the money from bank accounts only twice a month as a collection of all bookings we received so far. According to that it can happen that you receive the payment reminder with a time lag of up to 2 weeks after your registration.
Your registration is completed after this registration process. In exceptional cases it is possible to pay for courses by bank transfer until 3 days after your registration in person at the Hochschulsport office. You will receive the documents needed there.
Costs that occur because of mistakes in bank account, less coverage or revocations are to be paid by the participants and are paid by direct bank debit the next time the direct debits are made.
This does also apply for the special case of registration in pairs, e.g. dancing courses. With the registration in pairs the course fee for both persons is to be taken out of the bank account of the person doing the registration who agrees to the SEPA direct debit.
