There is no need to select a specification field until the start of the second semester.

 ==== Welcome weeks ====
 There are Welcome weeks centrally organized for all new foreign students at RWTH both, in Summer and in Winter semester.
+===== Late arrival =====
+From an academic point of view a late arrival after start of the lectures is unproblematic. You will have to  catch up on the material you have missed. Since there is no mandatory presence in classes this is not critical. The later you will arrive the more problematic it will get. Mid of the semester you will have difficulties in registering for the exams and/or with proper exam preparation. This means that you will maybe "loose" this semester. This again is academically not critical, you my study as long as you like from RWTH perspective. However, a) your visa conditions may restrict the study duration so please be aware of those, and b) RWTH is judged by your study duration and, thus, RWTH and you have the common interest in short and successful study times!
