Information on teaching activities
IMPORTANT NOTICE
When you come to the campus, please observe the mandatory hygiene measures.
It is vital that you wear a medical mouth-nose cover and keep a minimum distance of 1.5 meters to other people.
To all students of AMD AKademie Mode & Design:
For a good three months now, the summer semester has been running largely digitally at our university, as at all universities nationwide. We have decided that now, just a few weeks before the end of lectures, we no longer want to make a major switch to presence. We know from feedback from student representatives that this is not what students want either.
We will therefore continue the summer semester 2021 as the departments and locations have communicated and handled it so far, i.e. as far as possible digitally. Practical teaching will continue to take place, where it is permitted, under strict hygiene protection measures and with tests in attendance. Depending on the situation at the locations, some supplementary smaller events may be added, about which you will then be informed by your course directors. All services – student lounge, libraries, examination offices – are also open for you in person. And where space allows, we want to provide additional opportunities for silent work and exam preparation. Before you come to the site, ask at Student Services or the library about opening hours and quiet work/study spaces.
Contact tracking via Recover App applies in all university spaces. Furthermore, familiar hygiene protection rules, such as keeping your distance and wearing a mask, apply in all locations – even for those who have been vaccinated or are recovering – in the buildings, with the exception of the plaza, when a minimum distance from others can be maintained. A test certificate is not necessary. Compliance with these rules is checked at the sites.
As an educational institution, we are well equipped to deal with the current challenges. We are in close contact with the health and regulatory authorities at all locations and always update the local hygiene concepts based on the official requirements.
We thank you for your cooperation in complying with and implementing the protective measures, but also very much for your understanding that the university has to adjust to changing specifications almost daily, which cannot remain without impact on study operations. With your support, we will continue to make this a successful semester together.
Further information about the teaching activities is summarized in the FAQ below and on ILIAS.

Rules of Caution and Hygiene at AMD Akademie Mode & Design
WEAR MEDICAL MASKS
Wear a medical mouth-nose cover when entering the university and in all closed rooms, also during lectures. Wearing a medical mouth-nose cover is also mandatory in front of the buildings of the university, i.e. outside the door, if the minimum distance cannot be kept.
OBSERVE HYGIENE RULES
Disinfect your hands when you enter the college. Adhere to the general hygiene rules of the Robert Koch-Institute such as regular hand washing, coughing, and sneezing into the crook of your arm, etc. Avoid shaking hands and hugs.
CHECK IN AND CHECK OUT
There is a QR code in front of each seminar room. Use it to check yourself in before each course and check out again after the course when you leave the room. We are obliged by the authorities to ensure traceability for participants of each course.
KEEP A DISTANCE OF 1.5 M
Despite the obligation to wear a mouth-nose cover, please continue to keep sufficient distance from other people. This applies to the inside and outside of the university buildings. We urgently request that you enter and leave classrooms at a distance and do not stay in groups in and in front of the buildings.
OBSERVE HOUSE BAN
You are not allowed to enter the university if you are ill with COVID-19, if you have had direct contact to persons ill with COVID-19 in the past 14 days or if you have respiratory diseases that have not been medically clarified.
QUARANTINE REGULATION
If you return from a corona risk area from abroad (see the official list of the Robert Koch-Institute) you may only enter the university again after having completed quarantine or after a negative test result, which is not older than 48 hours.
