Orientation Week for Neurodivergent Students 2026 – Register Now!

Registration for the CampusKompass Neurodivergence Orientation Week is now open.

The start of college is often marked by many new experiences, packed schedules, and constant interaction with new people. For some, that’s exactly what makes it exciting. For others, it can quickly become overwhelming.

For people on the autism spectrum, even the thought of so much hustle and bustle can be overwhelming. For those with ADHD, keeping up with the fast pace and arriving everywhere on time can be a challenge. And those with dyslexia who take significantly longer than others to read the course catalog may find themselves withdrawing early on.

This is where CampusKompass Neurodivergence (CKN) comes in. This fall, the project run by SG 9.3 Diversity Management is offering an orientation week designed to make the (re)start of studies more structured, calmer, and easier to plan.

Among other things, participants can expect:

• a campus tour
• help with academic planning
• a group brunch
• workshops on learning strategies and neurodivergent empowerment
• Insights into key resources at TUD

The program is modeled after traditional orientation weeks but takes place in much smaller groups and accommodates different needs and paces. Registration is available via an online form on the CKN website. Certain prerequisites, such as diagnoses or similar, are explicitly not required. The number of participants is limited to 35. Of course, you can also participate in the faculties’ regular orientation weeks, as this program takes place before the regular first-semester orientation week.

📅 Date: September 28 through October 2, 2026
💰 Participation is free of charge

The detailed program is published on the CKN website and provides an overview of the individual activities in advance. Individual needs can be communicated confidentially to the CKN team via the form or by email.
