News

Dear students,

In order to prevent you and us from getting unnecessarily infected with the new corona virus, the Academic Service Office's staff is until further notice not available in person, instead only via email and telephone (see here for contact details or via studienbuero.geowiss"AT"mailman.rrz.uni-hamburg.de).

Some further information (updated March 26):

• Submission of B.Sc./M.Sc. theses: Theses should be submitted electronically to the relevant contact person in the ASO together with a scan/photograph of the signed affidavit page. Printed versions will have to be sent via regular mail to the ASO or handed in at a later date, however, the date of the electronic submission is the decisive one until further notice. The department's examination boards have decide to extend deadlines for theses in accordance with the presidential FAQs.
  
  
• Diplomas: We are unfortunately currently unable to hand out diplomas . We can, however, issue a digital proof of completion of studies or a transcript of records
  
  
• All other documents should be handed in electronically as well.
  
  
• Exams are cancelled by presidential order until at least April 20. Still possible are oral exams if both students ans examiners agree on a digital mode of examination.
  
  
• Doctoral theses (updated March 26, regulations valid until April 20):
  • Application for admission: All documents should be handed in electronically. Upon a positive vote by the Doctoral Committee, preliminary admissions will be issued. Final admissions will be issued upon reviewing the original documents after the ASO has opened again to the public.
  • Submission of theses: Theses have to be handed in electronically. Printed version can be sent via regular mail or handed in at a later date.
  • Defences: Further information will be published soon.

Please note that regulations can change quickly due to the dynamically evolving situation. See also the university's FAQ on the topic.

Thank you for your patience and stay healthy!
