Overview of advisory services

Advice on student financing & BAföG

Whether BAföG, job, parents or other - here you will find support and options for financing your studies. The focus of the advice is on BAföG - but even if that doesn't work out, there are other ways to finance your studies.

Open consultation hours (just drop by)
If you have any questions about notifications, emails from the BAföG office, forms, etc., please bring them with you. This is the best way for us to deal with them and help you. 

If you would like advice online or need an appointment outside of office hours, please send us an mail or call us on 0351/463 32042 - also outside of office hours.
We are also happy to answer questions by mail, so don't hesitate to get in touch.

Advice teaching & study

Your rights in examinations, regulations on exam retakes, third attempts, part-time study or changing subjects - you've come to the right place with your questions. Generally speaking, we can always help you further when it comes to examination or study regulations, the course of studies or the module handbook. Tricky issues in particular can be solved here, and your FSR will often be the first to offer advice.

There is also an FAQ on the subject of exam inspection. This can also answer your initial questions.

Feel free to send us your questions (e-mail)
Consultations are currently held by e-mail or in person by appointment.

Advice on project support

Do you want to bring your idea to life on campus or expand everyday student life with an excursion? The Project Support Advisory can provide you with information about university groups, financial support from the StuRa and other possible supporters.

Advice for international students

Unfortunately, there is currently no person in the StuRa who regularly offers advice for international students. 
However, questions about student financing can be directed to the “Student Financing & BAföG” counseling service. 
If you have difficulties with legal matters, e.g. housing, work, cell phone contracts or similar, you can also come to our lawyer's consultation hours. The social counseling service of the Studentenwerk can also support you.

Nevertheless, we will try to read your emails regularly and answer your questions or refer you to other services.

Counseling requests by e-mail

Advice for disabled/chronically ill students

Unfortunately, studying with a disability or chronic illness still has a few more barriers.

We are also active in the area of barrier-free access on campus and are happy to provide support.
