Current information
In the brochures for new students, the "normal state" is shown with regard to the accessibility and opening times of the various contact points without corona-related restrictions. In connection with the corona pandemic, depending on the current situation, there are dynamic updates that cannot be shown in the printed brochures. Here are a few pointers.
Opening times and availability of contact points
Most of the contact points at the university and at the authorities have switched their contact options to e-mail and telephone and often also adjusted the opening times. Personal contact for matters that cannot be dealt with in any other way is usually only possible after prior consultation and appointment. Please refer to the website of the respective contact point for information on the current contact options and opening times.
