This little booklet will help you find your way within our facilities. Furthermore, it provides you with some useful hints and information on orientation in the university, city and more. We wish you a good start! Information for international students I winter term 2016/17 I Page 3/29 Place to live In case that you will be living in the accommodation provided by Studierendenwerk, you should have sent a registration form and arranged the payment via Mrs. Albrecht of the International Office already. After your arrival the Faculty Exchange Point or your buddy will give you the keys to your rooms and will also show you the way. After successfully moving into your apartment, you have to sign a contract (have a look at the working hours of Studierendenwerk). Please note! After you got the contract signed, it cannot be easily terminated (cancelled). According to German law, if you want to move out from the flat before the contract expires you have to notify 3 months in advance, or you have to find a person who will rent your apartment for the rest period of the due contract. The same matters are more complicated with Studierendenwerk, because the person should be from their waiting list for a room. !You have to pay your rent monthly; otherwise a fine is added to it! !Take care of your key; if you lose it you have to pay a 110,- € fine! !Clean your room and the common rooms (especially after having a party)! Leave the premises as you’ve found them!

You have to punch your ticket near the place you take the train, tube (U-Bahn) or directly in the bus with machines like the one on the picture. Even though nobody checks your tickets (except buses) when you enter the public transport you should have one. You have to pay 60,- € in case you don’t have it when checked.

If the installation was successful, open the website. Please enter your FH-identification provided by the Identity Management and your corresponding password. Depending on the operating system and the installed software or security settings of the browser, an automatic installation is now in process, which downloads and configures the client and logs on the user immediately.
