3-course rule


Due to the high demand for various courses in the fitness, health and dance categories, the 3-course rule applies in these course categories. This means that a maximum of three courses per person can be booked from these course offerings in the current course program. Affected course offers contain explicit information in the course description that they are subject to the 3-course rule.

This rule does not apply to vacation programs.

Accident reports

The accident report form must be sent to the service office at hsp-infospam prevention@ifs.uni-tuebingen.de within three days.

Further information on liability and insurance can be found in our terms of participation.

 

 

 

Beachvolleyball

The beach volleyball courses only take place in the summer semester and during the summer holiday program. During the vacations, they start earlier than the rest of the HSP program.

The beach volleyball courts can be rented for certain time slots in the summer (from May). They must be booked again for the lecture-free period. Online booking is usually possible at the end of July.

However, for reasons of fairness, we would still ask you to only book the courses that you can actually participate in. If you are unable to attend a course for any reason, please make use of the self-cancellation option or send us an email immediately to hsp-infospam prevention@ifs.uni-tuebingen.de so that we can cancel your booking promptly and give someone else the chance to take your place.
