Information on the winter semester 2021/2022
The winter semester is about to start and we are very pleased that we can welcome you back with a much greater presence on campus after three semesters that are largely digital due to Corona! Please check our FAQ regularly for the current regulations.
Due to the current limited presence of our university, we ask for your understanding that the Admissions Office, the International Office and the Examination Offices currently cannot process applications, appeals and other requests in connection with personal appointments. Students will not be subject to any disadvantages due to the closure. We kindly ask you to make inquiries by phone or email. Of course, all requests received will be processed, taking into account any deadlines that may have to be adjusted retroactively.
You can find the latest information on the 2021/22 winter semester in the circular mail from September 10, 2021. For staff and students of the Faculty of Medicine on the University Hospital Dresden campus, the regulations from the Crisis Management Team of the University Hospital take precedence.
In the 2021/22 winter semester, significantly more on-site teaching will be possible. New maximum room occupancy regulations apply from October 4, 2021 as well as for the first-years’ introductory events prior (for up-to-date occupancy plans, please contact the responsible Schedule Planner or Dean of Studies). If room capacity does not allow for all students to attend, teaching must be conducted in a hybrid or digital form. Courses that require on-site teaching for participants to acquire the necessary competences (lab internships, excursions etc.) are exempt from the maximum occupancy rules as an exception. The normal, pre-pandemic occupancy rules apply to these courses only while adhering to the German 3G rule (vaccination, recovery or negative test) and to the hygiene regulations.
It is compulsory to employ contact tracing in all courses via the Corona Warn App (contact tracing)
The Center for Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching (ZiLL) offers consultation (incl. via TUD's Matrix Messenger), guidance, and training sessions to assist with the content and technical design of teaching and testing formats.
Exams (applies to all exams taking place on or after Oct. 1, 2021)
All exams can take place on-site. In addition to the university's Covid safety measures, the 3G status of all participants must be verified. Everyone who participates in exams must submit proof of their vaccination, recovery or a negative test. As an exception, digital exams and alternative graded assessments are still possible. The Senate regulations regarding the rejection of exam results expired at the end of the summer semester, and the deadlines for repeat examinations have been re-implemented.
