It is not possible to move into your room before or after the designated "Arrival Days", because the International Office has to make a number of arrangements for a big group of students (obtaining keys for student residence rooms, appointing tutors, etc.). Students who arrive earlier have to stay at a hotel or at the youth hostel at their own expense.
Students wishing to participate in the orientation period should make sure to arrive on time so as not to miss any sessions of the intensive German language course. They need to plan in at least three "administrative days" before the start of the orientation days (working days, not Saturday/Sunday!).
Students who do not participate in the orientation / intensive language course, may arrive late. It is not possible to move into your room before the designated "Arrival Days", because the International Office has to make a number of arrangements for a big group of students (obtaining keys for student residence rooms, appointing tutors, etc.) Students who arrive earlier have to stay at a hotel or at the youth hostel at their own expense.
Sometimes, exams can also be scheduled on an individual basis.

The actual dates for orientation, lecture periods and exam periods vary from year to year!
| 2 Months | April - May | May - June | June - July | July - August | |
| 3 Months | April - June | May - July | June - August | July - September | |
| 4 Months | April - July | May - August | June - September | ||
| 5 Months | April - August | May - September | |||
| 6 Months | April - September | October - March |
Clinical electives/hospital rotations or thesis/projects can be arranged outside the semester rhythm, as long as students choose one of the time slots offered (see table).
