Frequently Asked Questions

Due to the coronavirus, we will unfortunately not be able to use the full capacity of seats in the Audimax. To respect the distance regulations, we would only be able to allow very few students to attend the event in person. That is why we made the decision to welcome first-semester students in a completely digital format without on-site attendance.

The welcome event for first-semester students will take about 1.5 hours.

We have done a lot of thinking on how to organize WarmUP in times of COVID-19. About 1,500 students usually participated in the yearly event at Schiffbauergasse. This year, such an event will not be possible. But canceling the event was also not an option for us. So we came up with a new concept and the WarmUP Week was the result. Throughout the week, we will have a mixture of on-site and online offers, so that everyone can choose what suits them best and the amount of visitors will be somewhat reduced.

The WarmUP Week will take place from November 2 - 6, 2020. The welcome event for first-semester students will take place on November 2. From November 3 to 5, during the day, the central institutions will introduce themselves at the individual locations, provide you with tips for your studies and answer your most pressing questions. The online program will follow in the afternoons, consisting mainly of offers from student organizations and the student representative committees. On November 6, we would like to introduce you to the cultural offers of the city of Potsdam. You can find the full program here.
