Study rooms
Where can I reserve a place in the study room?
You can find reservation options at stuvus.de/lernraum. Please note that new slots are uploaded once a week on the weekend. So if there are no free slots, please check again next weekend.
What should I do if I don’t want to use the booked learning room place after all?
Please cancel your place on the booking page as soon as possible to allow other students to use it.
When will new slots be uploaded?
New learning slots for the coming week are always uploaded the weekend before. To spare Ilias and to give as many students as possible a chance to get a slot, we do not announce the date and time. The new slots are uploaded by volunteers, so the time may vary.
Can I work in the learning room at the HdS in pairs or in a group?
No, it is a single study room. It is also not allowed to push chairs together in order to work at two tables but still together. The positions of the chairs are marked with an X on the floor.
Do I have to wear a mouth and nose cover in the study room?
As long as you are sitting in your seat, you do not have to wear a mouth and nose cover. You must wear a mask when entering and leaving the room, when going to the toilet and when moving around the room.
Can I study in the study room without having reserved a seat in advance?
No, you cannot. When you book a place, your data will be backed up according to the Corona regulation. In order to be able to trace a possible infection and to be able to notify you or the other students in the room in an emergency, it is absolutely necessary that you have reserved your place via Ilias.
Can I reserve a place for a fellow student or use the reservation of a fellow student?
No, that is not possible. Your data will be saved according to the Corona regulation. In order to be able to trace a possible infection and in case of an emergency to inform you or the other students in the room, it is absolutely necessary that you have reserved your place via Ilias.
Will further study rooms be opened?
We know that one learning room is by far not enough and that learning rooms are urgently needed. Therefore, in May we wrote a concept for the study room in the HdS, which was finally approved in the end of July. The decision about opening the learning rooms is not in our hands, but we are still working on it. At the moment we are working on the openings of a few larger study rooms. To be specific, this means: We speak with the University in official meetings about the study rooms, we measure distances, move tables and chairs, write hygiene concepts and try to get those approved by the University. You can support us by following the rules in the study room that has been opened so far and thus show that the study rooms are not corona hotspots but instead are well used.
Who do I contact if I have further questions and problems concerning the study room?
For acute problems and questions, please call 0711/685-60962, the number is also printed on information sheets in the study room. We are also happy to help you via Facebook and Instagram. You can reach us by mail at corona@stuvus.de.
stuvus activities during Corona
Is the bicycle repair station open?
Unfortunately the bike repair station is closed at the moment. As soon as a suitable concept is available and approved, we can reopen the workshop. We will inform you as soon as this is the case.
Can I get involved with stuvus despite Corona?
Despite and especially during Corona there is a lot to do at stuvus. Here you can find vacancies and positions. Of course you can also participate in one of our departments and working groups. You can find contact information here on our website on the respective subpages of the departments and working groups. If you have general questions, you can also contact us directly, for example via Instagram and Facebook.
Will there be a UNO (first semester’s party) this year?
Unfortunately, our beloved UNO has had to be cancelled due to the circumstances. We are looking forward to next year’s UNO and hope that you will join us then. However, first semester students will not have to start their student life without the usual events. There will be activities taking place for you, both by stuvus and by your student group(s) (Fachgruppe). You can find information about the main stuvus’ activities for first semesters here.
