Corona Update

TO ALL STUDENTS OF HOCHSCHULE FRESENIUS

We are planning the upcoming winter semester in accordance with the developing overall situation and in agreement with many other universities as a semester with as few restrictions and deviations as possible from the actually planned and accredited normal teaching and study schedule.

Specifically, this means:

  • Classes are scheduled in attendance according to the respective module descriptions.
  • The university buildings are open, all service areas are accessible.
  • There is a strong recommendation to wear a medical mask, especially if minimum distances are not met. This recommendation applies to all parts of the university buildings.
  • In case of symptoms, everyone is urged to clarify an infection with the Corona virus by means of a test (self-test, citizen test, PCR test). If the test is positive, all applicable isolation regulations must be followed and the university must not be entered until the infection has cleared and a test (self-test, citizen test, PCR test) is negative.
  • Members of at-risk groups may wish to contact the Dean of Students responsible for their program.
  • Self disclosure, such as for vaccination status, or “booking in” to premises (for the purpose of contact tracing) is not applicable.
  • The Examination Office plans normal examination operations and will inform you in good time about any adjustments that may be necessary.

As usual, if adjustments that cannot be foreseen today become necessary during the course of the semester, you will receive further information here and through your locations in a timely manner.

Please discuss all questions regarding teaching with your respective program director.

If you are unsure about your personal risk of infection, please contact your program director before coming to campus. You will then discuss specifically which rules have to be observed and which evidence you may have to submit in order to be able to attend lectures on campus again.

Students who belong to a high-risk group or live with members of high-risk groups (family, shared flat) and who therefore cannot or do not want to attend classes on campus must inform their program director in order to discuss alternatives.
