Federal aid for students:

BAföG recipients should not suffer any financial disadvantages from the COVID 19 pandemic.
- The period of pandemic closure of the university is treated like a lecture-free period.
- New students who cannot start their studies in summer semester 2020 as planned will receive their payments from the time lectures should have started regularly.
- As with classroom teaching, participation in online teaching, if provided by the university, is mandatory.
- The same applies for funding for studies abroad.
- In the event of unavoidable pandemic-related training breaks (e. g. postponement of the final examination), BAföG will continue to be granted for a certain time.
- If necessary documents (e. g. enrollment certificate, transcript of records) cannot not be presented on time due to pandemic-related restrictions, this does not prevent you from receiving the grant.
- If exams or courses cannot be attended (on time) due to coronavirus-related restrictions, a postponement of the submission date for the transcript of records can be requested.
