The university is introducing the new campus management system, Heidelberg Campus Online (heiCO). In the future, heiCO will manage all administrative processes of a student's university education from application and acceptance to study programs to graduation. The previous systems (HIS modules, LSF, Sign-up etc.) will be phased out.
