Damage in Seminar Room 242 – A call for attention and responsibility
Concerns/Category:
Dear students,
It was with great shock and disbelief that we discovered the extensive damage in Seminar Room 242 on Thursday morning. Three tables have been destroyed; the room has been left in a state that has left us deeply concerned.
You will find some pictures of the tables in the attachement!
We have never before witnessed such a level of destruction and disrespect towards shared spaces at our university.
Even though the perpetrators are currently unknown, the consequences affect us all: damaged furniture, unsightly study and work spaces, broken equipment – and, in the worst case, restrictions on the free use of seminar and common rooms. Spaces such as lecture theatres, the library, the canteen or the Orange Lounge depend on being used responsibly and with trust.
We are talking here about our university. That is why we ask you: do not look the other way if you observe wilful damage, vandalism or disrespectful behaviour towards rooms and equipment. Please speak to us or the university management if you notice anything.
Of course, things can sometimes be damaged accidentally. That is annoying, but no big deal if it is dealt with openly. In such cases too, please do get in touch.
We are counting on your support. Let us work together to ensure that our university remains a place where we enjoy learning, working and coming together.
Kind regards

The vhs offers A1.1, A1.2 and A2.1
The OTH language centre offers A2.2 (with the possibility of completing your immatriculartion requirement of A2), B1.1, B1.2 ..... up until C1.1The vhs courses are a special offer for IB students, who do not have A2 knowledge of German and are hence not able to complete their immatriculation with proof of A2 yet.
There is only a limited number of places. So first come, first serve.
- The courses take place at the the vhs Weiden-Neustadt (Luitpoldstraße 24, Weiden)
- For course times see below (these courses are presence only, please check your IB study timetable first before you register https://www.oth-aw.de/files/oth-aw/Studiengaenge/Bachelor/IB/Dokumente/Stundenplan_IB.pdf)

- please do not register if you are unable to attend the lectures regularly and on time, no latecomers will be admitted.
- please note that this is a supportive offer and that the three vhs course cannot be accredited, nor are they worth any credits and please note that you still need to complete your immatriculation by handing in proof of A2 knowledge
In order to register for the courses (one only) at VHS Weiden, please select one course and register via the link with the course:
