Buildings may only be entered with prior approval, for example to attend laboratory sessions and examinations.

Semester ticket

Winter semester 2020/21
As developments show, larger outbreaks can always occur. To ensure the greatest possible predictability in this situation, online teaching will remain the norm in the winter semester 2020/21.
Exceptional cases will be exams, practical (in labs) or other courses absolutely requiring a physical presence. In addition, further event formats will take place in the winter semester 2020/21, e.g. the orientation week of the departments.

In all study programmes with non-restricted admission, courses will begin on the regular starting date 12 October 2020; this also applies for students in a higher semester of study programmes with restricted admission.
In all study programmes with restricted admission, courses for first semester students will officially start on 2 November. However, it is possible that introductory sessions/preparatory courses or alike will start before 2 November. Please contact your department directly for detailed information on the dates of individual events.
