Do I have to arrive on the official day of arrival?
Arriving on our official day of arrival offers you some advantages: On this day you will meet our student mentors at the train station, you will be provided with information and taken to your dormitory if you have booked a room.
However, if you would like to arrive earlier, you will need to contact the Studentenwerk in order to get the keys for your dormitory room because you can only move into your room from the official day of arrival.
Since the placement test for the German courses will take place on the first day of the course, we strongly recommend not to arrive earlier. Please also note that you must be present at least 80% of the lessons to receive 3 ECTS points for the International Spring Course.
