Information on the winter semester

E-mail to all students

Dear students,

The lecture period for the winter semester 2020/21 will begin shortly. We are very pleased to welcome you to the new semester. As already announced, we have planned a gradual reintroduction of on-campus teaching for this semester, which must take place under the special conditions of the corona pandemic. In preparation for the winter semester, a number of measures and precautions have been developed over the past weeks. A number of things will be different than usual,. The refectories and cafeterias also operate somewhat differently than before.

The university has developed a comprehensive hygiene concept that comprises the various measures and regulations during the pandemic. For the use of all university buildings, please observe the following:

  • Please keep a distance of at least 1.5 meters to other people.
  • Please wear a mouth-nose covering when entering a university building; this also applies while sitting down during classes/lectures.
  • Ensure good hand hygiene.
  • Stay at home if you suffer from typical symptoms of a cold such as a cough and a runny or congested nose or if you have a temperature.

The university will provide cleaning wipes for disinfecting seats in lecture halls. In addition, disinfectant dispensers will be set up in front of highly frequented buildings.

For face-to-face teaching, the number of seats in lecture halls and seminar rooms is reduced to a maximum of 20 percent of the official capacity in order to be able to maintain a distance of 1.5 meters. Therefore, classes with a high number of participants will usually be held online. Please note that for all on-campus classes, you must submit a data collection form for on-site events at the first session. Please bring the completed forms with you to the first sessions of your respective classes. You can find the form here: https://uni-tuebingen.de/en/174693#c1055700

Registration for classes is usually done via the course catalog in the alma portal. If you cannot find your class/lecture there, please check the website of your course of study or consult the contact persons in the department listed there.

The university has set up a website with corona information for students. On this page you will find further important information and regulations for the winter semester, for example on examinations, leave of absence, fees, etc.: https://uni-tuebingen.de/en/174693

Please read this information carefully and inform yourself regularly about the current regulations. Important changes will also be announced by e-mail. Please check your student e-mail inbox regularly.

Some students are particularly dependent on student workplaces at the university. We are currently still looking into which rooms can be made available for this purpose. As soon as this information is available, we will inform you by e-mail.

Please continue to help implementing the measures so that the infection cannot spread further.

I wish you a good start into the winter semester 2020/21!

Best regards,

Professor Dr. Karin Amos
Vice-President of Academic Affairs
