You can enrol in the courses by paying the course fee at the online store of CampusSport. Please note that everyone has to make the enrolment and pay the course fee personally. If the minimum number of participants is not reached, the course will be cancelled and the paid course fees returned. The participants will get a verification on whether the course will take place at the latest three working days before the course starts. Course enrolments are binding and they cannot be cancelled.
