Based on the current federal and state regulations, the RWTH Rectorate and the Crisis Management Team have adapted some measures at the University:
- The regulations on working on site as well as from home in the third quarter of 2021 are available here: https://download.cms.rwth-aachen.de/zhv/5.2/Homeoffice_Sommer 2021_EN_23.06.2021.pdf
- The guidelines on teaching and learning have been updated. Please find the updated version here: https://download.cms.rwth-aachen.de/zhv/5.2/konsolidierte_Handreichungen_Lehre_EN_23.06.2021.pdf. Please note that when it comes to the compulsory testing requirement, examiners do not have to provide a separate examination room to exam candidates who have not been tested, recovered from Covid-19, or vaccinated. It is sufficient to offer such students a simultaneous remote exam option.
Please also take note of the following:
- It is still compulsory to wear a mouth and nose covering in all corridors and hallways of RWTH buildings.
- Self-tests can still be obtained free of charge from the RWTH Purchasing Portal.
Finally, the Crisis Management Team would like to point out that employees and students are not obliged to provide information about their status regarding the Covid-19 vaccination. Duty of disclosure only applies if there is a legal basis for doing so (such as for anyone in a hospital environment) or if the state government has explicitly called for it.
As soon as new information is available, we will publish it here.
