Change of the previously valid corona rules | no more mask obligation as of now

From now on, masks are no longer mandatory at DIT, not even on meeting areas and traffic routes inside buildings.

As basic protection for all of us, the following continues to apply in consultation with the crisis team and the staff council:

• Wearing masks (FFP2 mask, OP mask or also casual mask) is still recommended, as well as maintaining a minimum distance of 1.5 m.
• Please continue to ventilate regularly.
• Access is still prohibited if you have symptoms typical of a coronavirus infection or if you have been diagnosed with a coronavirus infection.

Should there be any changes due to the pandemic situation, we will of course inform you again as soon as possible.

Change of the previously valid corona rules | Cancellation of the obligation to wear masks during lectures

As the 7-day incidence in the districts of Cham, Deggendorf and Rottal-Inn is falling steadily and is now well below 1,000, DIT management has decided to cancel the obligation to wear a FFP2 mask during lectures.

From now on, students will only be required to wear masks in meeting areas (e.g. corridors, lifts, entrance areas), but no longer at fixed seats. Instead of FFP2 masks, medical masks (surgical masks) are also sufficient in the meeting areas.

Basic protection for all of us continues to apply:

• Wearing masks is still recommended, as well as maintaining a minimum distance of 1.5 m.
• Please continue to ventilate regularly every 20 minutes.
• Access is still prohibited if you have symptoms typical of a coronavirus infection or if you have been diagnosed with a coronavirus infection.

Should there be any changes due to the pandemic situation, we will of course inform you again as soon as possible.

31 March 2022

Change of the previously valid corona rules

As the previously valid corona rules are about to expire, we would like to inform you about the measures that will apply at DIT from next week.

As of Monday, 2 April 2022, there will no longer be a 3G access rule. Therefore, as of Monday, there will be no more 3G checks. Students and employees will no longer be required to show 3G proof. The campus security service will cease its service and the external teaching sites will no longer have to send control lists to the crisis team.

The university management and the crisis team, in consultation with the staff council, have decided to maintain basic protection at the THD for the time being:

• In principle, FFP2 masks are still mandatory for students in buildings, unless a minimum distance of 1.5 m can be maintained. For employees, the mask obligation in buildings does not apply, but it is recommended that FFP2 masks continue to be worn.
• Maintaining a minimum distance of 1.5 m is still strongly recommended.
• Please continue to ventilate regularly every 20 minutes.
• Access is still prohibited if you have symptoms typical of a coronavirus infection or if you have been diagnosed with a coronavirus infection.

Please note the DIT's infection protection concept.

Current information on the corona regulations

The Bavarian state government decided yesterday on significant relaxations of the Corona regulations.

Access to the university is possible from Thursday the 17.02. in compliance with the 3-G-regulation (vaccinated, recovered or tested negative). This also applies to the use of the reading rooms in the libraries.

Checking and documentation requirements still apply. Students must either prove their vaccinated/recovered status or provide confirmation of a negative rapid- or PCR-test.

The summer semester will be scheduled in attendance. Details regarding infection control measures in effect during the summer semester will be announced in a timely manner.

The new state government regulations can also be found at the following link: https://www.stmwk.bayern.de/ministerium/meldung/6815/sibler-zu-lockerung-der-corona-regeln-an-hochschulen-schritt-in-richtung-normalitaet-und-echte-perspektive-fuer-sommersemester-in-praesenz.html

One more note about the Copyshop: During the semester break, the Copyshop is always open on Wednesdays between 10 am and 2 pm. From the summer semester on, the planned new opening hours are Mondays to Thursdays, 10 am - 2 pm.

25 January 2022

PCR test requirement not applicable

Today we have received the news that the Council of Ministers will abolish the PCR testing requirement for exams as of 27 January. This regulation will be implemented at the Deggendorf Institute of Technology already from tomorrow.

For all those who up to now would have been obliged to take PCR tests due to their vaccination or convalescence status, a quick test will be sufficient from now on.

If you are unsure whether your current vaccination or convalescent status is still valid, we recommend that you perform a rapid test at an external testing station in advance of the exam and bring the proof with you to the exam.

A test confirmation from a rapid testing station must be presented. Self-testing under supervision is not possible. The rapid test must not be older than 24 hours.

If you are exempt from the mask requirement, we need a copy of your certificate a few days in advance so that the test can be scheduled.

All other regulations remain as already communicated.

Collected information are in the infection protection concept.

20 January 2022

New regulations regarding exams

• Johnson and Johnson vaccination

Until recently, vaccination with the Johnson and Johnson vaccine was recognised as fully vaccinated.
Now, at least one second vaccination is also required to be considered fully vaccinated.
This was announced by the federal government yesterday.
As no concrete implementation regulations and transition periods are known yet, you can take part in the examinations with a Johnson and Johnson vaccination only until further notice. 

• Recovery status

The recovery status was previously valid for 180 days. This period has been shortened by the policy to 90 days. The general conditions mentioned above also apply here.
Until further notice, you can take part in examinations even if your infection was more than 90 but less than 180 days ago.
For both cases we still hope for generous transitional solutions. As soon as we know concrete implementation provisions and deadlines, we will inform you immediately.

• Contact with infected persons

In case of contact with infected persons, participation in an examination depends on your vaccination status.
If you have been boostered or vaccinated twice and the second vaccination was not more than 90 days ago, there is no quarantine obligation for you. Therefore you are also allowed to take part in a presence examination.
However, to be on the safe side, you should test yourself before taking the exam and check whether you have typical symptoms of the infection.
If you have tested positive yourself or have symptoms, you will not be able to take part in the examination, regardless of your vaccination status.

• PCR tests

For unvaccinated persons and persons who do not have the complete vaccination or recovery status, the "Corona Regulation" prescribes a negative PCR test for participation in examinations; the costs for this have to be paid by yourself.
In a press release from the Ministry, it was pointed out that in exceptional cases, when it was not possible for students to obtain a PCR test result in time, a rapid test would also be sufficient.
This exception was made under the strict requirement of an impossibility to obtain the test result.
Since a private provider in Deggendorf offers PCR tests seven days a week for which a result is available within one hour at the longest, this exception cannot occur in Deggendorf.
Unfortunately, it is therefore not possible for us to approve participation with rapid tests.
The provider is located in Graflingerstraße 121 in the former „Real building“.
You can also find information at: https://testzentrum-deggendorf.de/.

• Proof of recovery

If you have only recently had an infection and have already been released from quarantine, it may still be possible that you do not yet have official proof of recovery due to the overload of health offices. In these cases, take the proof of your positive PCR test and the quarantine instruction with you to the test. The two documents replace the convalescence certificate and you can take part in the examination.

• Vaccines and vaccination certificates

Please note that only vaccinations with vaccines authorised in the EU or their licensed products produced in third countries can prove full vaccination status.
Which vaccines these are can be found on the pages of the Paul Ehrlich Institute. Please only take vaccination certificates to the examination that can be recognised as such by the supervisors and that contain all the necessary information.
This is ideally a digital vaccination certificate in one of the apps suitable for this purpose, such as the Corona warning app, or a document in German or English.
A cut-out QR code without further information may not be recognised by the supervisors.

• Obligation to wear masks

As already announced several times, FFP2 masks have to be used during the examinations. These have to be used during the examination at the seats as well.

If you are exempt from the mask requirement by a medical certificate, please notify the relevant faculty in advance so that this can be taken into account when planning your seat.

• Pregnant students

If you should be pregnant, you will be offered a written attendance examination in a separate room or an alternative form of examination. For clarification in individual cases, please contact your respective faculty.
 

Another note at the request of the copy shop at the DIT Campus: it is now open on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10 am - 2 pm.
You can contact the copy shop by phone: 0991 3615 362 or by e-mail copyshop@liebl-systems.de.

15 December 2021

Teaching in 2022

In case this positive development of the incidence rate continues as hoped, face-to-face teaching under 2G regulation will apply again from 2022, and the library will also reopen:

This means: Only students holding 2G status (i.e. vaccinated or recovered) may participate in courses and use the library. For other necessary visits to the university (examinations, collecting SHK (student assistant) contracts, other administrative activities etc.) and for picking up books from the library, the 3G+ rule continues to apply.

The acquisition of skills must be maintained in any case. As a result, the following regulations apply (in individual cases, the faculties decide):

• Attendance for students holding 2G status

Courses, in which all students are verifiably vaccinated or have recovered, may again take place on site.

• Hybrid teaching for students without 2G status

In cases where there is a student among the registered participants of a course who is not vaccinated or has not recovered, hybrid formats shall be used to ensure that our vaccinated students can continue to study in the proper manner. Students who have not been vaccinated and have not recovered can follow the content either via synchronous transmission or via recordings (if already available).

• Online, if hybrid is not feasible

Only if no reasonable hybrid solution can be found by the lecturers, may the course be continued in online format.

• Regulations for examinations

As before, the 3G+ rule applies in examinations, i.e. students who are neither vaccinated nor recovered must present a current PCR test (the costs for this must be covered by the student). People who are not involved in the examination operations are excluded from taking part in the examination, irrespective of their respective G status.

• Checking rule compliance

Checks have to continue to be carried out intensively. The full check of the students’ 2G status will be carried out directly in the lessons by the lecturers. The same applies to library access - here the staff checks upon entry.

• Maintaining the obligation to wear FFP2 masks

The obligation for students to wear FFP2 masks in buildings and enclosed spaces remains in effect even after the introduction of the 2G rule and applies even if a minimum distance of 1.5 m is maintained. Presenters are exempt from the requirement to wear a mask for the duration of the presentation, provided that the minimum distance is observed.

• 3G+ for lecturers

Higher education institutes are still required to fully and regularly monitor the vaccination/test-status of employees and consequently of all lecturers.

For teaching, this means:

The deans are responsible for checking ALL teaching staff (professors, lecturers, internship supervisors and instructors).

Delegation to the deans’ office is possible, but only with the consent of the deans’ office staff.

If the positive development of the incidence rate does not continue as hoped and the incidence rate in Deggendorf exceeds 1,000 again even for just one day after 1 January, we will remain in online mode until the end of the semester.

In order to enable examination preparations, the library opens whenever Deggendorf drops out of the hotspot regulation. Examinations will be held on site in accordance with 3G+, regardless of incidence rate.

25 November 2021

Tighter regulations concerning the winter semester

Therefore, the following tightenings apply with immediate effect.

Teaching mode

• As the 7-day incidence in Deggendorf is still around 1,000, for reasons of planning security, the virtual teaching will continue until Christmas, regardless of the respective daily incidence.

Regulations for practice events

• In events in which presence is mandatory (e.g. lab work, practicals, sporting events), 2G applies with immediate effect. This 2G status is continuously controlled by the event management. In concrete terms, this means that students who are neither vaccinated nor recovered are excluded from ALL attendance events with immediate effect.

Regulations for exams

• The 3G+ rule now applies to examinations. This means that unvaccinated students can only take part in exams if they have a current PCR test (i.e. the smear must have been taken within 48 hours of the start of the exam). Everyone is responsible for obtaining the PCR test, any costs incurred also have to be financed by the participants themselves. Proof of fully vaccinated or recovered status or negative PCR test will be checked by the supervisors. Without proof we have to refer you from the room.

Access to closed rooms of DIT

• In principle, 2G applies at all DIT locations. As a rule, only persons who have been vaccinated or have recovered have access to closed rooms. An exception applies to staff (3G or 3G+ for customer contact). FFP2 masks are mandatory.

Services offered by DIT (e.g. study centre)

• Due to the high incidences and the end of face-to-face lectures, the DIT's service offers will be switched to e-mail and telephone until further notice. Face-to-face appointments are now only possible after prior registration.

Test station (at the Deggendorf campus)

• The test station at the university continues to offer rapid tests. However, due to the reduced presence, only at reduced times: Monday - Saturday 7.00 - 9.00 a.m.
• Please note: the test station cannot offer PCR tests. Please inform yourself about the offer of PCR tests on the respective websites of your local district offices or city councils.

Library

• The library will close for reference visits from 29.11. on, books can be collected during normal opening hours after ordering online. The 2G rule also applies to the collection of books. 

Copyshop

• The copy shop will remain open, but will reduce its opening hours. More detailed information will follow.

Mensa (Campus Deggendorf)

• According to today's status the mensa and cafeteria will remain open, with the usual opening hours. Depending on the location, either on-site consumption or to go.

22 November 2021

Switching to online teaching

The Bavarian State Parliament (Bayerische Landtag) will adopt new rules to deal with the Corona crisis on Wednesday.

For universities and higher education institutions, this means the compulsory introduction of 2G in teaching (which we already implemented one week ago) for an incidence rate below 1,000 and the compulsory switch-over to online teaching for an incidence rate above 1,000. Despite the fact that, according to our information, there have been no infections at the Deggendorf Institute of Technology so far due to our very far-reaching hygiene and safety rules, we are of course obliged to follow these rules.

Because the Deggendorf administrative district has been exceeding the incidence rate of 1,000 since Saturday, we have to return to online teaching mode. This means:

• Switching to online teaching/virtual teaching at DIT from Wednesday, 24 November 2021 (we are currently trying to obtain a transition period until 29 November)

What this means for teaching: All courses, for which in-person attendance is not absolutely necessary (lectures), are to be held online or in virtual format. Exceptions are made for events in computer rooms and laboratories that cannot be virtualised - 3G still applies here. The library closes for in-person visits on 29 November; books can be picked up after ordering online during regular opening hours.

Students should contact their instructors directly if they have any questions about the courses.

• Regulations for practical sessions

In courses, where in-person attendance is mandatory (e.g. laboratory work, internships, sports events), 3G will remain as an exception. The 3G status must be checked consistently by the course leaders.

• Regulations for examinations

For examinations, we will maintain the 3G regulation without any exceptions. Any people who are not part of the examination operations are excluded from taking part in the examination, irrespective of their respective G status.

4. Transition period until 29 November 2021

In view of the current situation, we would like to act quickly. Therefore, the switch-over to online teaching/virtual teaching is to begin already this week wherever possible. We are trying to obtain approval for the current week as a transition period - but we are still waiting for the concrete rules in the Regulations.
As of Monday, 29 November 2021 at the latest, the above rules will be binding for all courses and events.

• Checking rule compliance

In courses with mandatory in-person attendance, lecturers are required to continuously check the 3G rule directly in the course. The external inspection service will be terminated at the end of the month, as hardly any students will likely be on campus.

• Maintaining the obligation to wear FFP2 masks

The obligation for students to wear FFP2 masks in buildings and enclosed spaces remains of course in effect and applies even if a minimum distance of 1.5 m is maintained.

• Regulations for special events/events with catering on DIT premises

Special internal events, i.e. events not related to work or teaching (conferences, congresses, symposia, festivities, student events, graduation ceremonies, other celebrations, etc.) are no longer permitted until further notice.

Excursions are only permissible if they are absolutely necessary for achieving the study objectives and the content cannot be virtualised.

• Duration of these measures

The new regulations of the Landtag would allow a return to 2G mode if the incidence rate permanently drops below 1,000 again. However, since a more frequent alternation between online teaching and 2G face-to-face teaching can hardly be organised in a reasonable way, the above-mentioned rules will initially apply until Christmas. Depending on how the situation develops, the university management will publish new rules for study operations in the new year.

15 November 2021

Introduction of 2G in teaching at DIT

Unfortunately, the pandemic situation has worsened significantly in the past few days. On the one hand, there is growing concern, but at the same time face-to-face teaching is an important basis of academic teaching and a desired approach. With this in mind, we would like to take further measures to protect all students and DIT members.

1. Switching to 2G for teaching at DIT from Tuesday, 16 November 2021 (with transition period)

What this means for teaching: Only students holding 2G status (i.e., vaccinated or recovered) may enter the lecture rooms (lecture halls and seminar rooms). Exceptions apply to the library, computer rooms, study rooms and self-study areas – here 3G is still sufficient .

It is important that the acquisition of skills has to be guaranteed in any event. As a result, the following regulations apply:

1. Attendance for students holding 2G status

Courses, in which all students are verifiably vaccinated or recovered, can and should still take place in face-to-face attendance.

2. Hybrid teaching for students without 2G status

In cases where there is a person among the registered students of a course who is not vaccinated or has not recovered, hybrid formats shall be used to ensure that our vaccinated students can continue to study properly. Students who have not been vaccinated and have not recovered can follow the content either via synchronous transmission or via recordings (if already available).

3. Online, if hybrid is not feasible

Only if no reasonable hybrid solution can be found by the lecturers or if all students accept online format, should the course be transferred to the online format as a last resort.

We urge all lecturers to avoid using the transition from 3G to 2G and any possible problems with the parallel emergency solution for non-2G students as an opportunity to switch completely to online formats. Many students received their vaccinations specifically for face-to-face classes and many also explicitly want attendance.

Please update the entries in iLearn as soon as possible so that students can find out about the format of their course.

Students should contact their instructors directly if they have any questions about the courses.

4. Regulations for practical sessions

In courses where attendance is mandatory (e.g. laboratory work, internships, sports events), 3G will remain as an exception. The 3G status must be checked consistently by the course leaders.

5. Regulations for examinations

For examinations, the 3G regulation remains unchanged. Persons who are not part of the examination operation are excluded from taking part in the examination, irrespective of their respective G status.

6. Transition period until 22 November 2021

In view of the current situation, we would like to act quickly. That is why the switch to 2G is to begin as early as this Tuesday, wherever possible. The current week serves as a transition period to clarify last unresolved issues.
From Monday, 22 November 2021, 2G will be binding for all students in DIT’s teaching operations.

7. Checking rule compliance

Checks must continue to be carried out intensively. Checking the students is carried out using spot checks according to the system already communicated; additional checks directly in the course by the lecturers are expressly recommended.

2. Maintaining the obligation to wear FFP2 masks

The obligation for students to wear FFP2 masks in buildings and enclosed spaces remains in place after the introduction of the 2G rule and continues to apply even if a minimum distance of 1.5 m is maintained. Presenters are exempt from the obligation to wear masks for the time of the presentation if the minimum distance is observed.

3. Regulations for special events/events with catering on DIT premises

For internal special events, i.e. events not related to work or teaching (conferences, congresses, symposia, festivities, student events, graduation ceremonies, other celebrations, etc.) as well as for already planned and confirmed events of third parties on DIT premises, the 2G rule also applies.

External special events will no longer be permitted with immediate effect and until further notice.

We are convinced that these measures are appropriate and important in the current situation, and we would therefore like to sincerely ask for your support!

1 October 2021

Updated information for the start of the semester | Test centre on campus

With reference to the information of 27 September, we would like to draw your attention to the following points/changes:

The test centre has now been set up directly at the university. The container is located between the E-building and the green area in front of the L-building/I-building, see site plan.

• The test center will be open on Monday 4 October from 9am - 13pm and from 15pm - 17pm.From Tuesday 5 October from 7am - 10am and from 15pm - 17pm. Opening hours will be adjusted according to demand, if necessary.
• In order to be able to use the test offer on campus, you must present an identification document and confirmation that you are a student of the DIT  (e.g. student card, certificate of enrolment).
• The vaccination offer is available on Monday 4 October from 8.30 am. Take advantage of this unbureaucratic option. To take advantage of the vaccination
  offer, you will need an identification document and your vaccination passport.
• As 3G-status is checked randomly, you should always carry your vaccination/recover/test certificate and an ID document with you at the campus.
• Notice our currently valid infection control concept.
• As a first semester student, you should have already received your student ID card by post or you will receive it in the next few days. In a few cases, the ID card can be collected in person. In this case, we will inform you by email when and where this will be possible.
• The Study Centre can be reached personally in offices B 005 and B 006 and by telephone during opening hours. 

As at the beginning of every semester, the IT Centre offers student support. You can come to us on these dates with your enquiries about IT at the DIT. When: every Tuesday and Thursday (the whole of October) between 1 and 2 pm - Where: building G, second floor, G207
 

27 September 2021

Our Fresher's Day will take place at our study locations in Deggendorf, Cham and Pfarrkirchen on 4 October 2021. Make sure to check our website for updates and the programmes of the different campuses.
We will give you all the important information about studying at DIT and necessary contacts to make the most of your studies.

• 3G Rules

Only students who are considered vaccinated (2 weeks after the second vaccination or after the first in the case of a vaccination with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine), recovered (with a single vaccination after 6 months) or tested (PCR or rapid test) are permitted to access the buildings of the Deggendorf Institute of Technology at all locations. You will only be considered vaccinated if you received a vaccine licensed in the EU.

• Checks

Compliance with the 3G rule will be checked at the university by a security service. If you are present on campus without vaccination certificate or documentation of your test status, we will unfortunately have to expel you from the building. A violation of the 3G rule is an administrative offence that can result in a fine of up to EUR 250. The university is obliged to report such violations. It is important to carry your vaccination or test certificates with you at all times, even when leaving the building during breaks.

• Testing

Should you not yet have sufficient vaccination protection or convalescent status, you are required to submit a PCR test not older than 48 hours or a rapid test not older than 24 hours. It must still be valid at the beginning of the first lecture of the day. You are entitled to be tested free of charge at any test station operated by the districts by presenting your student ID card. This is usually possible only by appointment. From 16 October, this will probably no longer be possible with private providers. Testing free of charge is currently only planned until 30 November. Afterwards, testing for students will also be subject to a fee.

In order to provide you with quick and easy test access, the DIT will facilitate a free testing offer from the beginning of the semester in cooperation with a private provider at Hans-Obser-Str. 10 (VAZ building). It takes about 3 minutes to get there on foot.

Of course, you can also use the services offered by the local test centres and pharmacies - not only at the DIT locations, but also at your own place of residence. Please find out for yourself whether testing free of charge is still offered there for you after 15 October.

• Obligation to wear masks

For this winter semester, both politicians and universities would like to return to face-to-face teaching. Even if face-to-face classes continue to be complemented by virtual offers, this does not automatically mean that there will be alternative streaming offers to addition to face-to-face classes. We are expecting the seminar rooms to be full again. Therefore, you are required to wear a medical mask in all DIT rooms. In exceptional cases, if the distance of at least 1.5 m is maintained, the lecturers may allow the masks to be removed. Lecturers are permitted to remove their masks during class. On Freshers’ Day (04 October), masks are also compulsory during the official outdoor programme due to the large number of participants on campus.

• Vaccinations

On 4 October, a vaccination bus will be in front of the campus offering the opportunity to receive vaccinations from 8.30 am to 4 pm. On 5 October, a vaccination team will be in the learning rooms of the library in ITC-2. If you have not yet been vaccinated, please make use of these opportunities. Protect yourself and others. Please remember: testing free of charge will probably end by the end of November. Until then, there is enough time to obtain a full vaccination protection.

• Public access

Administration offices should still primarily be contacted by telephone or e-mail. If this is not possible, please make an appointment in advance. Offices may only be entered by one person at a time. All staff members are instructed to check your vaccination certificate or test status.

We are aware that the return to face-to-face classes is bound to have some obstacles. But nothing is more important to all of us than being able to go back to normal. We are looking forward to welcoming you back to the lecture halls and on campus.

07 September 2021

Changes to mask requirement

Instead of an FFP2 mask, wearing a medical face mask is sufficient from now on. It is not required to wear a mask at a fixed seat, standing place or working station, provided that a minimum distance of 1.5 m to other persons is reliably maintained. During lectures, the medical face mask may also be removed by students and lecturers if the minimum distance is maintained. In outdoor situations - as has been the case for some time - masks are no longer compulsory for students and employees.

Changes due to control obligations with regard to 3G:

As Deggendorf is currently exceeding the 7-day infection incidence of 35, the 3G rule applies to access the Deggendorf Institute of Technology. Accordingly, access to enclosed spaces may strictly only be granted to persons who have been vaccinated, tested or recovered. The 3G rule also applies to library access. The 3G rule does not apply to examinations.

The university is obliged to daily verify the vaccination, convalescence, or test certificates to be submitted. In practice, this means that admission controls will be carried out from now on before students are granted access to the premises (with the exception of examinations). Students without appropriate proof are not allowed to enter the university buildings, they are to be excluded from the courses by the lecturers and evicted from the building.

Please note that you need to have proof of admission to the university with you at all times. In case you are not vaccinated or recovered, please come to the university already tested. There are testing facilities available in the immediate vicinity of the university, e.g. at the test centre on the Ackerloh, at the upper town square in Deggendorf or at pharmacies and other providers of rapid tests.

The required proofs are:

• Proof of vaccination in digital (e.g. CovPass app) or analogue (yellow vaccination certificate) form
• Negative proof of test from various providers
• Convalescent proof in the most varied forms

In addition, an identification document (e.g. identity card, passport, driving licence, student card, ......) must be presented.

Contact data collection:

Contact data collection via the system darfichrein will be maintained for the time being.

Outlook for the winter semester 2021/2022:

The 14th BayIfSMV is only valid until the end of 01 October 2021.

However, the Bavarian State Government is still working on a concept to ensure attendance at universities in the coming winter semester.

It can therefore be assumed that we will be able to offer on-site courses in the winter semester with the normal occupancy of the lecture halls. Regulations on how this will be implemented in practice will follow as soon as we have more detailed information.

In addition to the above points, the general rules, instructions and recommendations on hygiene and infection control (e.g. sufficient ventilation, minimum distance, etc.) continue to apply.

19 July 2021

Winter semester 2021/2022 planned to take place on campus.

DIT plans to conduct the upcoming winter semester in attendance. Of course, we will be offering virtual studying for international students who are not able to come to Germany (e.g. at our European Campus Rottal-Inn).

In the meantime, it is possible to be vaccinated at any time.

For more information and to register for vaccination, please visit https://impfzentren.bayern/. 

29 June 2021

Rapid test station on campus closed & voluntary self-testing

Due to decreasing incidence rates the current Corona situation has calmed down considerably and the obligation to provide evidence of negative test results has ceased, the rapid test station in front of the university will be closed by the operator with immediate effect due to lack of demand.

Even if there is no longer a need for proof of test results, we still ask you to do a self-test before exams and events to protect the other participants. We also ask our colleagues to continue to test themselves regularly, regardless of their vaccination status.
The necessary tests can students still be picked up free of charge at the university on the following dates:

 Mon, June 28 to Fri, July 9, daily from 10 am - 2 pm

The masking requirement on the open-air university campus was dropped in the middle of last week, as previously communicated.
Students are currently still required to wear FFP2-masks in the buildings; lecturers and other employees can also use medical masks.

We hope for new regulations from July 4, when the current regulation expires.

23 June 2021

Compulsory masks (mouth-nose-protection) on campus

Following a decision by the Bavarian government, the obligation to wear masks on university campuses "in the open air" will no longer apply. Attention must be paid to the minimum distance. The obligation to wear masks indoors and all other regulations of the hygiene concept remain in place, subject to new requirements.

14 June 2021

Opening of the indoor and outdoor areas in the canteens and cafeterias from 14.06.2021 (Initially only valid for Deggendorf)

From Monday, 14 June after several months of closure, the Studentenwerk Niederbayern/Oberpfalz opens the indoor and outdoor areas of its gastronomic facilities for on-site consumption. The following facilities are affected:

• Canteen (Mensa)

Current corona information

The legal situation regarding the corona pandemic in Bavaria has changed this week. This has resulted in the following changes for the university:

• From now on, face-to-face lectures are possible again. The lecturers will inform you accordingly if attendance lectures are offered.
   
• Students are required to wear FFP2 masks on the university campus.
   
• The library will be reopened with all locations for visitor traffic and lending operations as of 14 June 2021. The requirements of the Bavarian Infection Protection Measures Ordinance apply in their most current form. According to § 24 in conjunction with § 14 of the 13th BayIfSchMV, a minimum distance of 1.5m must be maintained between individual users and there is a minimum area per user to be observed, so that waiting times may occur at times during admission. Please follow the instructions of the staff in charge of implementing the regulation at all times.
   
• A private vendor will be offering rapid tests on the campus in Deggendorf starting Monday. It is planned to open in the mornings from 7-10 and in the afternoons from 1 to 4. Find more information at: https://schnelltestzentrum.bayern/ . This service will be available to all students and staff.

• Furthermore, you can pick up self-tests at campus at the times already announced.

Further information on this can be found in the Infection Protection Measures Ordinance §23 and in the hygiene regulations of the DIT.

Notes on implementation of face-to-face exams

This semester, exams will again be offered in a mix of different examination formats. For many exams the examination format has been changed, but not all subjects can do without written examinations. In order to increase the protection for all participants, a testing concept has been added to the already known hygiene measures.

The university provides students with self-tests for participation in practical courses and exams. The following procedure applies to the organizational implementation:

• The university provides one self-test per exam day at the university and for attendance practicals a maximum of two tests per week, depending on the attendance days. o The university provides one self-test per exam day at the university and for face-to-ace internships a maximum of two tests per week, depending on the attendance days. o The organization and handling of the expenses is done by the respective faculty. You will still receive detailed information about the issuance of the tests from your faculty.
• You may pick up the tests needed for your attendance days at a location announced by the faculty.
• For your own protection and that of the other persons present, you are required to take a quick test or self-test before your exams.
• You are required to take the test at home on your own responsibility prior to the day of the event or exam. Please document the test result by taking a photo with your smartphone. The documentation by photo serves as proof for the health department in case of an infection.
• If the test result is positive, do not come to the university. Request a testing appointment for a PCR test at your primary care physician or at the testing stations. You will not be allowed back into the university until you have a negative PCR test.
• If you are unable to pick up tests at the university before your first day of attendance, you will be asked to use the citizen rapid test option at designated locations.

Furthermore, the rules of conduct and hygiene measures known from the previous semesters apply:

• Due to the distance requirements, registration for exams is mandatory.
• For organizational reasons, we ask you to be at the university at least 15 minutes before the start of the exam. However, avoid forming groups and keep a distance of at least 1.5 meters.
• The exam rooms open in time before the exams start. Only then do enter the building and the exam rooms at a distance of 1.5 m from your fellow students.
• You also have to register with the registration system "darfichrein" to ensure traceability in the case of an infection.
• Please keep your student ID ready before entering the examination room.
• You will also find disinfection material at the entrance to the exam room. You are welcome to use it.
• Inform yourself in advance at https://www.th-deg.de/de/studierende/antraege-und-organisatorisches#pruefungstermine about your exams and the exam room assigned to you.
• Medical masks or FFP-2-masks are mandatory at the university. This also applies while taking exams.
• In the case of a restroom visit, your exam will be deposited at the exam proctor. Your absence will be noted by the exam proctor.
• After the examination, leave the building in an orderly manner and with a distance of at least 1.5 m. Staying in the building is only allowed for the purpose of taking the exam.
• Do not use restrooms that are already overcrowded.
• The instructions of the exam proctor must be obeyed.

In order to protect your fellow students, you are not allowed to take the exam if you are ill, have symptoms or have been in contact with infected persons in the last 14 days.
If this applies to you or if you are subject to a quarantine order, please contact your examining committee and request a substitute exam. They will check whether this is possible.
Please also understand that any violation of the aforementioned regulations will result in exclusion from the exam.
In addition, the normal rules apply again for the implementation of face-to-face exams:

• You have to register for the exams. Please cancel your registration no later than 7 days before the start of the exam if you do not wish to take part. (A medical certificate is not required for last-minute cancellations this semester).
• There are no free attempts this semester. Test attempts will be counted.
• If you withdraw after the exam has started, you have to present a medical certificate clearly stating that the sudden illness was not already known before the exam started. The corresponding form can be found under the following link on page 2: https://www.th-deg.de/Studierende/Antraege-und-Organisatorisches/Pruefungen/bek_attest.pdf
• Attempts to deceive and cheating will be evaluated as "failed" (§6 RaPo) and will be counted as an examination attempt.

We wish you a successful exam period. Stay healthy.

General conditions for the summer semester

In an effort to, at least, provide you with a safe environment, University Leadership has adopted the following framework in consultation with the deans:

• Lectures: As soon as the infection prevention and control guidance allows in-person lectures in application of practicable physical distance rules (as occurred at the beginning of the winter semester – 1.5 m physical distance), we will once again offer in-person lectures for individual semester groups. That being said, ALL in-person lectures will also be offered online in parallel. This means that lectures will either be livestreamed from the lecture hall and/or made available as recordings.
• Computer practicals: Practical classes will be possible in the computer rooms right after Easter. We will, however, also be setting up remote access to the computers to enable you to participate in the computer practicals online.
• Laboratory practicals: These practicals will also be permissible right after Easter. For the most part, these cannot be attended virtually or online. That being said, the faculties will be creating plans to ensure that in-person lab practicals are concentrated into a period of a very few number of days during the semester. These dates, for the entire semester, will be communicated to you by the faculties via the deans or course managers as swiftly as possible. We kindly ask for your patience. We ask all students to take a rapid test before these in-person days – either the evening before or on the same morning. In Deggendorf, these rapid tests can be taken at the fairground area (Ackerloh) directly behind the university.
• Examinations: As was the case during the last winter semester, exams will again be offered both in-person and online. Each lecturer will determine the exam format and will notify you as soon as possible concerning the envisaged exam format. Here, too, we ask all students to take a rapid test either the evening before on the morning of their in-person exams. In Deggendorf, these rapid tests can be taken at the fairground area (Ackerloh) directly behind the university.

Please understand that we are also unable to predict with certainty how the pandemic will develop and are therefore unable to develop any detailed plans for the summer semester.

19 March 2021

Update: Important information regarding further teaching and university operations after Easter

Due to the rising infection numbers, unfortunately, we are not able to open the university to the extent that we would actually like.
The university management has therefore decided the following regulation for April:

•  no face-to-face lectures are possible until the end of April.
•  laboratory practicals and practical events in the computer rooms will be allowed again after Easter - of course with all known hygiene measures and subject to ongoing developments.
•  the library will remain closed for normal operations. Click & Collect is still possible.

12 February 2021

Important information for the summer semester 2021

After intensive consultations, taking into account the current legal regulations, the university management has decided on the following procedure:

• The summer semester starts on 15 March. Until Easter, however, the lectures will be completely virtual.
• For the international courses at the European Campus Rottal-Inn an agreement was made that all lectures  in the summer semester will be held virtually.
• With the end of the examination period, lecture halls and seminar rooms will generally be closed until Easter. The library and Copy Shop will remain open for click and collect.
• Personal appointments are only possible with an appointment, as comprehensive home office policies are still valid for employees of the university.

As soon as the situation allows, we want to offer face-to-face events. We know how important the exchange and student life are also outside the lecture halls.At the beginning of the semester, the university management will check the situation and inform you promptly how lectures can be held after Easter.

We would like to ask the faculties to share this information with their teaching assistants as well.

21 January 2021

Examination notes and current legal regulations

• Change of the entry quarantine regulation
  Should you enter Germany from a bordering foreign risk area (e.g. Austria) for official purposes, teaching or examinations, the following regulation applies in accordance to the Entry Quarantine Ordinance - EQV §2 (2) 4.b: You are allowed to enter if you stay in Germany for less than 72 hours and return to your place of residence at least once a week. You will need a confirmation from the university confirming the necessity of your entry. Students please contact the study centre, or staff members of the HR department.
• Extension of §99 Hochschulgesetz (Higher Education Act)
  We have been informed by the State Ministry of Science and Art that §99 of the Higher Education Act is to be transferred to the winter semester (see: https://www.gesetze-bayern.de/Content/Document/BayHSchG-99).  The main points are the extension of deadlines and the extension of the standard period of study. Both points will be implemented at the university after the law has been passed.
• Travel restrictions – the so-called 15 km rule
  Travelling to exams is permitted, as the restrictions of 15 km around the place of residence refer to leisure trips. In order to prove the necessity of travelling, it is sufficient for domestic students to carry their student ID together with the overview of the examination dates. Cross-border students additionally need the confirmation of the university mentioned under 1.
• Exam procedure
  The current hygiene regulations of the university (https://intranet.th-deg.de/_media/gesamthygienekonzept_thd_inkl_anlagen.pdf), the general exam information (https://www.th-deg.de/de/studierende/antraege-und-organisatorisches#pruefungen) and the exam information of the crisis team (see appendix) apply to presence exams. Before, during and after the examinations, it is compulsory to wear a mouth-nose covering, FFP2 masks are not compulsory.

Hygiene concept of DIT for written examinations

The winter semester 2020 is once again a special challenge for all of us. In compliance with the Infection Protection Act and the health of all participants, the following regulations must be observed when conducting presence examinations. 

• When staying at dit, it is mandatory for all exam participants to wear a mouth-nose protection. 
• This semester, mouth-nose protection must also be worn while taking exams.
• In addition, the regulations already announced for members of the university apply.
• Exam rooms must be open for students well in advance of the start of the exam. 
• The examination rooms are to be arranged in such a way that a minimum distance of 1.5 m is maintained between the examinees.
• Students are instructed to observe the minimum distance outside the examination rooms as well.
• Hand sanitiser will be available in the examination rooms on examination days.
• Depending on the frequency of examinations and local conditions, the disinfection of the examination tables is organised by the respective faculty.
• Care must be taken to ensure that the rooms are ventilated. According to the university's ventilation concept, ventilation must be carried out regularly, at least every 20 minutes.
• Individuals who have Covid-19, are symptomatic, or are under quarantine orders are not permitted to take written exams.
• To ensure traceability in the event of an infectious event, registration using the "darfichrein" system is also mandatory for exams.
• An assignment of test items to seat numbers must be kept.
• Supervisors and employees must be informed about the organizational regulations. 

The afore mentioned regulations apply subject to new legal regulations.

22 January 2021

Changes at short notice cannot be ruled out. Further information on the current status can be found on the library website at any time.

12 January 2021

Information concerning the examinations

At DIT, we will hold the presence examinations in large rooms, strictly observing all hygiene measures. For examinations with a large number of participants, we will move to the town hall in order to be able to safely comply with the distance regulations in any case.

In some faculties, there have been minor changes compared to the examination schedule approved in November, especially with regard to the start times of the examinations in the town halls. Therefore, please check the updated schedules again.

In order to avoid contacts as far as possible, the following measures apply in principle before, during and after the examinations, subject to other regulations by the faculties

• As a rule, the examination rooms will be opened 15 minutes (in the university rooms) to 30 minutes (in the town hall) before the start of the examination,
• Masks are compulsory when entering the buildings
• When entering the rooms, it is mandatory to observe the minimum distance.
• Identity checks will take place at the entrance before the start of the examination.
• Please have your student ID ready and show it with an outstretched arm when it is your turn. Then, as instructed, go immediately to the examination room and sit in the designated seat according to the assigned seat number.
• Your examination details are there: please enter your name and matriculation number immediately (the first one assigned is the correct one!). You are not allowed to look at the tasks at this time!
• The mask must not be removed during the examination.
• At the end of the examination, please stop writing immediately, pack up your belongings and leave the room as quickly as possible.
• The completed tasks are left on the desk and collected after all candidates have left the room.
• It is absolutely necessary to refrain from group formation and exchange without a safe distance! Please also refrain from the usual group formation and discussion of the examination before the buildings - the risk of infection is certainly greater here than during the examination.
• Staying at the university is only allowed for the purpose of taking examinations.

We wish you good luck for the exams and we all hope that the situation will be more normal in the summer semester.

15 December 2020

Winter closing of the Studentenwerk and special closing times of canteens and cafeterias

Due to a recommendation for action by the Bavarian State Ministry for Science and Art and the current government resolutions to contain the coronavirus, the canteens and cafeterias are closed from December 16, 2020 to January 8, 2021 inclusive. During this time, no canteen delivery service is offered.

From January 11th, 2021, new estimated opening times will apply to the open cafeterias: Monday to Friday from 9.30 a.m. to 2.30 p.m.

Further information on the opening times and open facilities can be found on this page: https://stwno.de/en/gastro-en/caf-en

The Studentenwerk Niederbayern/Oberpfalz is closed from December 24th, 2020 to January 6th, 2021. All work areas – BaföG, Info Points, Social counseling, Student housing, Cultural promotion – cannot be reached during this time.

You can find out how your contact persons can be reached in the period from 21 to 23 December 2020 and from 7 to 8 January 2021 on the following pages:

27 November 2020

Discontinuation of presence teaching as of 1 December 2020

Following the infection prevention measures announced yesterday, universities are required to discontinue face-to-face teaching as of 1 December 2020 and have to switch to virtual teaching.

• Presence teaching (with the exception of events in computer rooms and laboratory practical courses) is generally no longer offered.
• Courses in computer rooms and laboratory practical courses which are only possible in attendance can still be held without special permission, provided that current hygiene rules are observed.
• For courses (lectures, group work, external practical training, etc.) which, in deviation from the normal case, can only be carried out in attendance for compelling reasons, exceptional permission may be granted in individual cases. The supervising lecturer can apply for this with an informal justification (to krisenstab@th-deg.de). The respective lecturer or staff member is responsible for compliance with the applicable hygiene regulations (distance requirement and obligation to wear masks, disinfection of tables and work equipment, ventilation, etc.).
• In order to prevent that attendance examinations during the examination period at the end of January are endangered due to quarantine of whole groups of students or of lecturers, no more courses in attendance will be held in January. This applies to all courses, i.e. to lectures as well as to laboratory or computer practical courses or exercises.

2 November 2020

Canteen/Mensa only open for pick-up (food to-go) and delivery service!

Catering operations in the refectories must be discontinued with immediate effect from today (2 November 2020) until the 8th BaylfSMV expires. The already practised distribution of take-away food (to-go operation) is still possible.

The Mensateria Glashaus, the cafeteria in the K building and the Mensateria Pfarrkirchen will be closed

16 October 2020

Supplementary information for the winter semester 2020/2021

In addition to the new hygiene regulations, you will find below further information and answers to questions that have reached us recently.

15 October 2020

New corona regulations apply as of Friday, 16 October 2020

Compliance with the protective measures already introduced:

• Distance - hygiene - masks
• Recommendation to use the Corona Warn App of the RKI
• Ventilate rooms

In addition, the following regulations apply as of Friday, 16 October:

Mask obligation: According to a decision by the Federal Government, the following regulation now applies: "Mask obligation already applies from a case rate of 35 where people come together more closely and/or for longer periods of time. If the rate rises above the threshold of 50, the obligation to wear a mask should be extended once again". THEREFORE, FROM NOW ON, THE OBLIGATION TO WEAR A MASK ALSO APPLIES TO THE LECTURES. This means that masks are compulsory throughout the entire campuses of the university (with the exception of offices) - including outdoor areas. This applies to ALL locations of the university.

Lecture regulations: All classroom lectures can immediately be transferred to a virtual or semi-virtual mode in agreement between lecturers and students without further authorisation.

For lectures that will continue to be held in presence, I would like to underline the urgent request of the student representatives:  In addition to presence, all lectures should be offered in parallel online (i.e. streaming in "real time" to the net) or virtual (recording and providing a can), so that students have the opportunity to decide whether they want to expose themselves to the potential risk when sitting in a lecture hall.

Students who are not allowed to come to the university due to mild symptoms or quarantine have the right to be taught the material! I appeal here to the moral responsibility of our lecturers towards the students.

To be on the safe side, please be prepared to switch back to fully virtual operation in the course of the semester.
