March 30th, 2020 | by

However, not all texts that are needed in teaching are available as electronic resources quickly, easily and, above all, accessible to a large number of students at the same time.

The University Management has decided that all examinations on Monday, February 10, 2020 will be cancelled, in reaction to the severe weather warning issued by the Deutscher Wetterdienst DED and in close coordination with the “Unit for Extraordinary Events” of the Städteregion Aachen.

 

Students who, as a result of storm “Sabine,” have difficulties getting to the University campus will thus not be disadvantaged. All written and other examinations scheduled for Monday will be rescheduled to a later date. All classes and teaching-related events will take place as usual. All university employees have been contacted by email and asked to contact their supervisors in case they encounter any difficulties in reaching their workplace due to the storm.
