TU Dresden cares about each and every student and their successful studies. A hassle-free course of study cannot be taken for granted. Challenging situations can arise at any time.

PASST?! is a program developed to help students and TU Dresden form a partnership for successful studies: PASST?! Partnership · Successful Studies · TU Dresden. In this partnership we will provide support throughout the course of your studies, depending on your needs. Participation in the program is voluntary, free of charge and open to all students.

Objective

The goal of the early warning system is to identify difficult study courses that could potentially lead to an early dropout  and to provide students with individual counseling and support services.

TU Dresden complies with the regulations of data protection law. This means that only the students alone, voluntarily decide whether they participate in the PASST?! program or not. For more information on how we handle your data, please refer to our Data Protection Declaration and Declaration of Consent.

Check

If you have agreed to participate in PASST?!, your study history data will automatically be checked each semester for potentially problematic developments. This includes e.g.

  • the acquisition of a low number of  ECTS credits over a prolonged period of time,
  • the repeated failure to pass an examination
  • or prolonged periods of study.

If one or more of the warnings occur, you will automatically receive an email with current offers from various TU Dresden counseling centers and programs. If none of the features apply to your course of study, PASST?! will nonetheless give you feedback, so you can keep track of everything.

Support

The offers listed in the emails can help you find out, among other things:

  • where you can find specific help
  • how you can best prepare for exams
  • which work techniques you can use
  • how to make decisions faster
  • how to formulate your goals more clearly
  • how to deal with doubts about your studies
  • whether the right time has come for a sabbatical, an internship or a stay abroad
  • whether your course of study (still) fits

It is solely your decision whether you want to use one of these offers or not. Those who do not participate will not suffer any disadvantages.

TU Dresden's counseling and support services are open to all TU Dresden students at any time for voluntary participation free of charge - irrespective of whether you participate in the PASST?! program or not. Counseling is confidential and, if desired, anonymous.
