Studying with Personal circumstances

Several personal circumstances complicate studying and affect your study progress. Study delay during your first academic year has consequences for the Binding Recommendation. Contact the study adviser of your study programme about the feasibility of your chosen study programme.

Apply for facilities

If you want to appeal for specific supportive facilities and regulations of the university it is necessary to disclose your personal circumstances. The "step-by-step-guide applying for facilities" explains how to apply for support and facilities.

If personal circumstances affect your study progress, you may be entitled to compensation for force majeure through FOBOS of the UT or DUO may make an exception to the rules of the performance grant (provision performance grant).

If you expect to encounter difficulties during your studies due to your personal circumstances, please contact the study advisor of your chosen programme in a timely manner (within 3 months) before starting your studies.

We advise you to inform us of your circumstances as soon as possible, preferably when you apply for your programme. By discussing your personal circumstances, we can offer appropriate support within our capabilities while taking into account your specific needs. A pre-study meeting is possible.
