The university assures students and colleagues who have been directly affected of its sympathy and support.

Support for Students

Affected students can make use of special exemption rules (Nachteilsausgleich nach § 109 ZSP-HU). It is possible to apply for this, e.g. in order to postpone exams, to the relevant exams committee. The exams committees of all faculties have been made aware of the possibility of receiving such applications at short notice as a consequence of the earth quake.

Information about these special exemption rules (Nachteilsausgleich) can be found on HU’s websites
