Alternative dates for missed exams because of corona quarantine possible

Due to the currently very high corona numbers, many people are increasingly concerned about testing positive before an exam, as they will then not be able to take part in it.
In the worst case, this can delay ones studies for a semester.

If this happens and you are in quarantine due to a Corona infection, according to the current Corona statutes (see §4 (4) here) you have the possibility of an alternative date to make up for the exam this semester.
If you are affected by this, simply contact your lecturer. If there are problems, simply contact the dean’s office of your faculty (Med, ReWi, Phil, Nat, Tech), they have been sensitised to the issue and will solve the problem with you.
So please get tested and stay at home if you are positive/sick so as not to endanger other people – there is always a solution.

New members sought for the sustainability advisory board

For the Nachhaltigkeitsbeirat (former Agenda 21 Advisory Board of the City of Erlangen) a new student representation (1 member + deputy member) is sought.

The NaB (Sustainability Advisory Board) is an expert body that advises the city administration and the city council on sustainability issues and makes recommendations in this regard. It supports the administration in public relations work on sustainability issues and communicates these issues to its own institutions and organizations. The committee’s goal is to support the city council and the city administration in the process of change with its knowledge and actions. In addition, its essential function is the multiplier role into the respective institutions.

For the work of the advisory board, members receive a lump-sum expense allowance per month of membership (€10) and a meeting fee per meeting of the NaB attended (€12.50). The deputies receive an attendance fee only if they officially represent the member at the meetings. They may attend the meetings alongside the member if the Corona regulations permit, but they are not entitled to an attendance fee.

The next meeting of the Advisory Council will be held on July 5.

If you are interested in contributing our student perspectives to this important committee, please contact Sprat directly: stuve-sprat@fau.de
