E-Mail on the semester ticket 13/03/2025

Dear students of the FU,

An e-mail has just been sent out with the latest information on how to download the semester ticket
for the coming semester.

Many of you have already tried this and found that it is not yet possible. You are not alone in this,
and you didn't do something wrong, because the technical implementation is still being worked on at the moment
and the e-mail was therefore sent too early.

We apologize for this confusion.

Statement of the student council department about the involvement of the student council initiatives of the uni summer festival

On May 13, many student council initiatives received an invitation to support the organization of the summer festival by agreeing to collect the bottle deposit on the afternoon of the summer festival. The money collected (the amount was estimated at 2-500 euros in the email) was to be kept by the first student council that volunteered to collect the deposits.

First of all, we would like to emphasize that we do not condemn any student council initiative for accepting this offer and participating in the implementation of the summer festival in this way.
