Please observe the general hygiene regulations as well as the currently applicable guidelines for hygiene and safety measures at all on-campus courses and events.

Rules for entering university buildings

It is prohibited to enter the University if you have COVID symptoms or are currently in quarantine. You are not permitted to attend an on-campus lecture or any other event on campus under these conditions. If you notice such symptoms appearing while you are at the University, please leave the campus immediately and remain at home until the suspicion has been settled by a doctor.

Rules for entering buildings of the University Medical Centre

Section 20a of the Infection Protection Act, which entered into effect on 16 March 2022, continues to be valid and stipulates that all people working at a medical facility must either be vaccinated against Covid-19 or have recovered from the illness. This means that students, particularly of the Medical Faculty, are still required to show proof of vaccination or recovery when entering University Medical Centre facilities.

Please exercise caution and get tested if you suspect that you may have become infected with the coronavirus. Please be sure to wash or disinfect your hands regularly. Please continue to keep your distance from others wherever possible.

Inside the University facilities – and explicitly for the study areas and at in-person courses and events – we currently recommend the use of an FFP2 mask or a medical mask in order to protect yourself from an infection. Please take personal responsibility and act appropriately depending on the respective room, occupation density, etc., but please also be tolerant of those who do not follow this recommendation.

The requirement of providing proof of 3G status (vaccinated, recovered or tested) has been dropped as of 3 April 2022. Thus, from this date on, there will be no more 3G checks at the University.

You can find a list of courses – sorted by department – on the page Information on studying at Ulm University.

As a rule, courses are to be held on campus and planned accordingly. Until further notice, there will not be any significant restrictions at the University on seating and workspace capacities in the classrooms. You may, of course, continue to offer supplementary courses to your lectures in digital format. Organisational information should be made available on Moodle. Lectures should be recorded or made available on Moodle in another appropriate form. In this way, students who are unable to attend a lecture due to illness or quarantine will have the opportunity to access some of the material they have missed. In general, courses that are particularly interactive, in which discussions take place and students are required to present a lot of their own material, are not recorded.

If you would like to record a lecture, please use the mobile recording set to record and stream using Zoom. Once the recording is finished, a compressed file is available in Zoom, which you can then edit before publishing it on Moodle/Opencast as in the past.

Please classify your courses according to the following four categories so that your students will know what to expect:

1. In-person format: Only the material provided in person is relevant for the exams. Organisational information, lecture recordings, literature recommendations and supplementary and exercise material are available on Moodle. Students are expected to be present on campus.
2. Mixed format: Classroom and online components are both relevant for the exams. Online elements that are relevant for an exam include, for instance, mandatory online exercises, electronic certificates of achievement or exam material that is to be worked through independently. Students are expected to be present on campus.
3. Hybrid format: Students may choose between attending a lecture in person or online. Students are not required to be present on campus if they listen to the lecture online.
4. Online format: Only the online elements are relevant for the exams. Practice or question-and-answer sessions may be offered, but students are not required to attend.

A more detailed overview of the teaching formats can be found on this page.

A landing page has been created for students by the Central Student Advisory Services, which directs them to all relevant interdisciplinary information sites (the page is currently still in progress). As in previous semesters, the departments’ overviews of courses and other subject-specific information are linked via the landing page.

Information on giving exams and post-exam reviews can be found here.

For information on holding in-person classes or other events with students, please refer to the handout.

Please refer to the Occupational Health and Safety pages for information about current hygiene regulations.

If you have a positive rapid test result, you may be acutely infected with SARS-CoV-2. You have the duty to leave campus and to seclude yourself. This means that you are excluded from participating in on-campus events (including exams) at Ulm University. Please contact your doctor immediately. Suspicion of infection can only be eliminated by a negative PCR test. In the event that a quarantine is imposed due to a Covid infection, it can only be lifted by the public health authorities
