As soon as the registration for participation has been received at the office, the participant will receive a confirmation as well as a bill by mail. The registration becomes legally binding by means of this confirmation and bill. The participant thereby accepts the payment conditions outlined below. All bills must have been paid in full no later than the registration deadline for the summer university program in question. If not, the registration will be cancelled and the place given to another participant instead. Late registration is possible against payment of an additional fee. All fees listed are applicable to each participant on an individual basis.
Enrollment for each course is limited to 18 participants (or 15 in the case of the German language courses). It is therefore essential to register as early as possible. If more than 18 participants register for a given course, the office will consider the second course selected by the applicant on the registration form. If no place is available in any of the courses selected by the applicant, the office will contact the applicant in due time in order to discuss other options or to offer the participant a cost-free withdrawal from the MISU program.
The fees comprise no insurance of any kind. Each participant is urged to insure him- or herself accordingly (e.g. regarding health, accident, personal liability, etc.).

3. Contents and objectives of the European Studies program The contents and objectives of the individual courses in the program are available on our official web-site www.european-study.eu. The selection of courses is, in the end, the responsibility of each participant. We therefore urge you to take note of any relevant preconditions or other aspects of a course. Each participant should consider especially whether the contents and objectives of a given course correspond with his/her needs and expectations and also whether he/she possesses the necessary prior qualification for a course.
Quality
The program carefully selects its teaching personnel, which must demonstrate adequate competence and experience in its particular discipline. Furthermore, the program guarantees that all courses, corresponding to their content, will be carried out in a professional and competent manner and fulfill the stated objectives. Content and quality of all courses, as well as the number of academic credits that can be earned, are monitored by the MISU Academic Board. This Board normally consists of five professors from different academic disciplines and is appointed by the President of the LMU.
Transcript
When a participant fulfils all requirements of a course, he/she receives an official transcript at the end of the program. Those individuals who participate in courses without the intention of gaining academic credit, receive a declaration of participation if they so desire.
Location
If not announced otherwise in advance, all courses are held in one of the campus facilities of the Vienna University, Munich University or Prage University. A transfer to a non-university site due to unexpected unavailability of space may occur under certain circumstances.
