Task Force Praxissemester

Dear all,

In this project team we deal with the „Praxissemester“ at the TU Dortmund. We want to intensify our contact with the teaching-related committees and institutions of the university, as well as the centers for practical teacher training. Currently, we are having a look at the academic achievements you have to accomplish at university, but also the preparation and supervision for the „Praxissemester“ at the university. Through a network with the Junge GEW in NRW, we also want to have a look at topics that go beyond university. We are looking forward to getting your support, perspective and suggestions.

You are also welcome to simply communicate urgent topics without getting actively involved.

You can contact us via mail: praxissemester@asta.tu-dortmund.de

APPLY FOR HARDSHIP SUPPORT WISE 2022/2023 NOW

If you cannot afford the semester ticket and the student body dues whatsoever, then…

… the hardship application might help. Students facing financial hardship may be exempt from paying these fees. For this purpose, the student fees include 2,30 Euros for hardship applications.

These hardship applications can be filed out online on the general students’ committees (AStA TU Dortmund) homepage.

This means that if you face existential financial problems due to the fees for the semester ticket and the student body dues (added amount of 222,87€/per semester), you can apply for a hardship compensation for winter semester 2022/2023 from the general students’ committee.

Find all relevant information and application details here: https://asta-dortmund.de/2019/05/10/haertefallausgleich/

Please note that the deadline varies based on whether you have been matriculated already, or whether you are a first semester student. If you are already matriculated, the deadline this semester is July 22th!

We develop new ideas or support existing ones to make the university climate-neutral in the long term and to bring sustainability more into focus for students.

Meetings: At irregular intervals, invitation via mail.
Contact person: Till Zaschel
Contact: nachhaltigkeit@asta.tu-dortmund.de

Task Force on University Political Commitment

With the help of this task force, the university political work of the StuPa (Students’ Parliament) and AStA is to be made more visible and accessible to students.

The meetings of the task force will be scheduled each time and then shared via social media channels.

For suggestions or questions about the task force, please feel free to contact: hopo@asta.tu-dortmund.de. We look forward to any collaboration!

To give you more options, you can use the washing machine and dryer in the AStA for a small fee:

  • Daily Monday through Friday. Please note that you have to turn on the machine between 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. and pick up your finished clothes by 4:00 p.m. at the latest!
  • Bookings are always made for the full day and at the earliest 7 days in advance.
  • Daily the washer/dryer can only be booked by one person at a time.

  • If you still show up without an appointment, we will have to send you away again. So please make an appointment so that you don’t have to go to the university for nothing!
  • Please cancel your appointment if you do not show up, then we can release the appointment.

Technology rental

The technology rental is for students of the TU

  • who need a short-term replacement while they acquire new hardware
  • who need to save money over a longer period of time to be able to buy a new PC
  • who only need a headset or webcam for a short time and do not want to purchase it directly for this purpose.

The rental is intended for students in need and we currently have only a few devices available. So if you have enough resources (e.g. money) to make the purchase yourself, we ask you not to use our lending service! Then we can help more students who need the loan to continue their studies.

To achieve this goal we have two lending formats:

regular loan hardhsip case loan
durationmax. 2 monthsmax. 6 months
Which one should I chose?Your laptop/headset/webcam is broken and…
… you need a replacement urgently.
… you need 1-2 months to save for a replacement.
… you need some time to find a good offer.
You need a headset/webcam for a few meetings and don’t want to buy your own.
Your laptop/headset/webcam is broken and…
… you need a replacement urgently.
… you need more than 2 months time to save for a replacement.
You don’t have a laptop/headset/webcam and urgently need one for university.
What we need from you:– Online application with uploaded certificate of study (name, matriculation number, course of study & semester)

– desired borrowing start and end date

– written justification

-> upload online application and certificate of study

– certificate of study (name, matriculation number, course of study & semester)

– desired loan start and loan end date

– written justification: Why is your case a
hardship?

– Accepted hardship request OR

-3 months of bank statements

-Proof of your housing costs, health insurance, and children, if applicable.

– Verification of acceptance according to current hardship guidelines. More details can be found here.

-> upload online application, certificate of study and other documents

In special and justified cases, the loan can be extended by half of the loan period (i.e. by 1 or 3 months). Please contact us for this purpose. Unfortunately, we can only allow the extension if we have enough equipment available and no students are on the waiting list.


Lending procedure

The loan works like this:

  1. Application and verification
    You submit an application online (see Application form under the point Documents). This will be checked by the social team and either accepted or rejected. You will receive a response within a maximum of 2 weeks.
  2. Conclusion of contract
    If your application is accepted, the loan will be carried out in the AStA. You will have to sign a loan contract (see Documents below) and a receipt. For this purpose, bring your current certificate of study with a valid identification document to the personal check. After signing the contract you will receive the device(s).
  3. Return of the device(s)
    With the return and confirmation of the return, the contractual relationship and thus the loan ends. For this we will meet again at the AStA. If you have any questions, please use the contact form under the point Problems and Questions.

The Contract

In order to carry out the loan, some things must be regulated to give you the security, for how long and what conditions you get the equipment. For this reason, a contract is concluded between us. In doing so, both parties enter into obligations that are briefly summarized below.
The summary does not replace a careful reading of the contract!

Obligations of the AStA:

  • free provision of a functioning loan object
  • Loan for the fixed period of time

Your obligations

  • punctual return of the device in the borrowed condition
  • assumption of liability during the loan period
  • assumption of costs in case of loss or damage
  • no transfer to third parties
  • no borrowing costs
  • let us know immediately if something does not work!
  • For any questions and problems use the contact form under the point problems and questions.

How-to use

Laptop
The laptop comes with Windows 10 pre-installed. You are welcome to install other operating systems if you want. Any other programs you need you have to install and pay for yourself. In many cases, the university and the faculties have cooperation agreements for programs that you need in your studies. You can find the offers from the university here:
https://service.tu-dortmund.de/group/intra/software
Among them is Office365 for 5 devices with a total price of 4,99€ per year or Citavi, which is free.
Alternatively, there are freeware options for most commercial products, for example the office program Libreoffice: https://de.libreoffice.org/.

When the device is returned at the end of the loan period, we will delete all data from the device and reset the PC to factory default before loaning it again.

Do not unscrew the device during the period of use.
If it seems necessary, be sure to contact us beforehand!

Headset
The headset is plug and play as of Windows 10. This means the driver should already be pre-installed. For older Windows versions and for other operating systems, do your own research first and if you have problems, you can ask us.

Webcam
The webcam also only needs to be plugged in and should be recognized and usable directly from Windows 10. In case of problems or other operating systems, do your own research first and ask us if you have any problems.
