In order to minimize the effects of the Corona crisis for our students in the summer semester, the University Senate has passed a “Corona Statute.” It applies to all bachelor's and master's degree programmes (with the exception of part-time master's degree programmes) at Esslingen University.
The Corona Statute introduces flexible regulations to address the effects of the Corona crisis. In this way, the groundwork has been laid so that all students may complete their studies and take their exams, ensuring that the summer semester 2020 is not lost to them.

What is the structure of the summer semester 2020?
Why is the summer semester 2020 18 weeks long?
UPDATE 28 May: Why has the exam period been moved to August?
Are the courses that are not part of the curriculum going to be cancelled?
UPDATE 18 MAY: When are the exams and the exam registration?
NEW 28 May: Will the graduation ceremony and the Kandelmarsch take place this year?
The President’s Office has determined, in close cooperation with the Deans and Student Deans that the structure of the semester should continue as follows.
Voluntary Distance-Learning operations: Since March 30
All offerings through distance-learning operations are part of the curriculum.
Conclusive start of the semester: April 20 (beginning exclusively online )
End of the semester: July 31
Lecture-free periods: Fr. May 1 (Labour Day), Thu. May 21 (Ascension Day), Mo. Jun 1 (Whitmonday), Thu. Jun 11 (Corpus Christi),
Notice: The originally planned lecture-free days after Pentecost will be considered as lecture period (June 2-5).
Exam period: August 3-28
Through the extended timeframe, the University is creating enough flexibility in order to address the altered circumstances for lecture and exam operations. Here the aim is to make a complete and fulfilling semester possible for the students, while at the same time creating enough time for the instructors acclimating to adjusted requirements.
The University’s goal is to offer a complete and fulfilling semester for students during this extraordinary situation. The actions taken to slow the Corona-Virus and the restructuring of the curriculum had to be implemented very quickly. Numerous instructors have already been able to start the semester on March 30 with distance learning. More preparation was needed for the switch to digital methods of instruction in other degrees. The University has expanded the core instruction period until July 31 in order to make it possible to transmit all relevant content during the lecture times.
In addition, the examination period has also been moved. It has also been consciously set to encompass 4 full weeks. To this end – should it be necessary- exams can be held in either smaller groups and/or in multiple rooms without colliding with other exams.
The general instruction and exam periods offer departments vast flexibility in order to find suitable solutions fitting to the current situation. These can differ to the general periods, when possible, within a given department: For example, examinations may be completed before August.
The regulations as a whole should reduce the impact of the Corona-Crisis to the greatest possible extent on members of the University. Unfortunately, this may cause a need for some to reorganize their personal plans (ex. summer jobs). The Corona Statutes offer generous regulations in order to react to the individual effects of the Corona-Crisis. Overall, it is important for the University, that the summer semester 2020 does not become a lost semester.
Update: 15. April 2020
Rescheduling the examination period gives the University the flexibility to deal with the altered circumstances for lecture and exam operations. The aim is to enable students to have a qualitative and complete semester, and to give lecturers time to respond to the new requirements.
(Addition, 28 May): Official confirmation of the new examination period dowload (e.g. for travel agent etc.)
(Addition, 25 May): The Corona Statute of 15 April enables lecturers to schedule individual examinations before the new official examination period. For this, they need the permission of the Examination Committee.
The Task Force Corona of the Esslingen University under the leadership of the President has decided that all in-person events, which are not part of the curriculum as well as all colloquia through June 15, are to be cancelled. The basis for this decision is the Corona-Ordinance of the State of Baden-Württemberg.
Thereby, among others, the Open House planned for May, the Industry-day as well as the Studium-Generale Series “Money Rules the World?” are to be cancelled. In addition, the Rollout of the Racing Team, along with various colloquia of the departments, are also called off.
Section 9 of the Corona Statutes of 15 April 2020 stipulates that board, commission and committee meetings of the faculties as well as the university can be held in the format of a web conference.
The preliminary examination timetables of the Faculties of: AN, BW, FZ, GU, IT and MB have been posted at the following link. Please first sign in to your university account.
https://intranetportal.hs-esslingen.de/aktuelle-pruefungslisten
The exam dates of the Faculty of ME are still being coordinated and will be posted at a later date.
The Faculty of WI will inform its students personally about their exam dates.
If you have questions / problems with the exam dates, please contact the secretary's office of your faculty.
Exam registration will be open from 27 May to 9 June 2020.
The examination period is from 3 to 28 August 2020.
The graduation ceremony and the Kandelmarsch, originally planned for 31 July, have been postponed due to the Corona pandemic.
Whether or not the ceremony can take place this year is not yet certain. Further information will be published as soon as possible.
Graduates who completed their studies in the winter semester of 2019/2020 should please contact Student Services to receive their transcripts.

Bachelor degree programmes at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences
As you have most likely read, schools, day cares and preschools in all of Baden-Württemberg will be closed starting Tuesday, March 17 2020. We are currently waiting for further instruction from the responsible Ministries. Should you not be able to come to work due to the closures, we ask that you talk to your supervisors about telecommuting or taking vacation/ overtime-reduction.
We ask you to refrain from bringing your kids wit you to the University.
Please contact the HR for further questions.
So long as the University buildings are closed due to the current Corona Virus-situation, students do not have any opportunities to validate their student body cards. Therefore, in the case of one’s ticket being checked, one cannot prove that one is matriculated through the student-id.
The Studierendenwerk Stuttgart has reached an alternative solution with the Stuttgart Transit Office (VVS). Until further notice:
Students can use the public transportation as needed. For travel between Monday and Friday, 6 pm to 5 am on the following day- as well as the all day on weekends and holidays- you may use your student body card in combination with you matriculation certificate for the summer semester 2020 to prove your enrollment. With this, one is also able to purchase a VVS-Student ticket.

“No drawbacks from BaFöG due to Corona” – is the comment given by the various State-Ministers for Education and Research.
State-Minister for Education and Research Anja Karliczek has clarified that:
Students, who are dependent on support from The German Federal Training Assistance Act (BaFöG) should not feel any financial disadvantages in the case of their educational institution temporarily closing - or postponing the start of the semester- due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
In addition, students beginning their studies who were (thus far) unable to start their planned studies in summer semester 2020, will receive support -as intended- from the point that the semester normally would have begun.
Unavoidable causes due to the pandemic constitute serious grounds for the discontinuation of one’s education according to the BaFöG § 15 Abs. 3 Nr. 1. For example, this is also the case should you need to push final examination to a time after the planned study period. According to § 48 Abs. 2 BAföG, the deadline for submitting documentation of study performances may also be pushed back.
