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.
Because of the traceability only TU students can offer this service for the time being. Therefore we ask you to book the appointment with your university e-mail address. You will receive an automatic confirmation. If you did not use your university e-mail address, we will cancel the appointment!
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.
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
duration
max. 2 months
max. 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.

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).
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!

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.

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. 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, you can apply for a hardship compensation for winter semester 2024/2025 from the general students’ committee. Please note that the deadline varies based on whether you have been matriculated already, or whether you are a first semester student.
The deadline for people who are already matriculated is on Friday, July 26 th 2024, 12 o’clock midday. Deadline conformity will be determined by when the application with all the needed documents arrived at haertefaelle@asta.tu-dortmund.de (via the submission portal). Deadlines for first semester students are listed in the chart below.
Within the following weeks, the applicants need will be reviewed. If the application is accepted, the part of the semester fee, will be transferred to the student’s office for you. No matter if your application has been accepted or denied, you will be notified via e-mail about its status.
Please note that only after you have received our e-mail, you should transfer the amount of money that is said to the student office. Should you transfer partial amounts of the fee before, the matriculation or renewal of matriculation may be strongly delayed, and you might, for example, receive the semester ticket later.
If you do not receive an e-mail from us after the 11 th of August 2024, then please immediately contact us (the AStA) via e-mail or phone. Please do not contact us before!
Please remember that the 110-€ for the Studierendenwerk can under no circumstances be payed for by us!
The outstanding balance (110,-€ if the application is accepted and the complete balance if it’s denied respectively) has to be payed to the student office until the deadline of the 23 th of August 2024. On average you will have two weeks remaining to do so.
Please note that the hardship compensation is designed to help students in need!
For anyone who wants to know the details on how the financial need is determined, you can find the latest guidelines for the hardship compensation here. (only in german)
For anyone who cannot hand in the application online, you will need to send an e-mail with your reasoning to haertefaelle@asta.tu-dortmund.de, so an alternative can be arranged.

The AStA offers a wide range of materials and rooms for loan to the student councils, AGs and committees of the TU Dortmund student body.
The materials and rooms can only be reserved online. For better planning of the rental, a reservation should be made at least one week in advance. Our cultural team will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the rental of materials. An overview of the deposit can be found in the respective description.
We ask for your understanding that loans cannot be made externally or to private individuals.
The management of the advertising pillars on campus have been transferred to the AStA by the TU Dortmund. Therefore, billposting is only permitted after approval by the AStA. Requests from organizations and especially companies without any connection to the student body will generally not be approved. Unapproved posters will be removed again for a fee!
All student groups, autonomous units and student bodies can book the advertising pillars themselves in the booking system.
Bookings of the advertising pillars should not be longer than one week, so that everyone has the opportunity to use the advertising pillars. If you notice shortly before the event that the week before or after the previously booked time is still free, you are always welcome to contact the cultural department of the AStA again personally.
Please check the booking system to see who has just booked a slot on the booking system and do not tape over them.
The advertising pillars and their slots as they are in the booking system are meant to have three slots on the advertising pillars. This does not mean that there is slot 1 at the top, slot 2 in the middle and slot 3 at the bottom, but that you simply book a free slot on the advertising pillars. Therefore, please take into consideration when other events are hanging, which have not yet run and are also reserved in the booking system, not to paste over them.
Be considerate of each other and be fair.

The student parliament of TU Dortmund University has set up student relief funds from which loans can be granted to students. The student relief funds committee, which is elected annually in the student parliament, decides on granting the loan.
In order to bridge a short-term emergency situation through no fault of their own, TU Dortmund students can receive an interest-free loan of up to a maximum of 2,000 euros. We help you to pay your most urgent bills, e.g. the next semester fee, your rent, health insurance.
The application must be accompanied by the following proofs
Passport/ID card (both sides + possibly work permit/residence permit)
Certificate of enrollment (or provisional certificate of enrollment)
Certificate of exam registrations and/or grade transcripts from the BOSS system
Provide bank statements of the last 3 months of all accounts (savings account, credit card, PayPal, Klarna, etc.)
Lease agreement (if not evident from bank statements)
Health insurance certificate (if not evident from bank statements)
If applicable, employment contract or previous employment contract
If applicable, reminders for late payment
Unfortunately, no loan can be granted if you haven’t send the required proofs.
Procedure for obtaining a loan
The application and the required documents should usually be submitted to us by mail (hilfe@asta.tu-dortmund.de). However, you can also submit the printed documents to our office.
The student relief funds committee decides on the granting of the loan at a meeting that usually takes place within the next two weeks after receiving your application.
If the loan is provisionally approved by the committee, the contract is drawn up.
Once the contract has been drawn up, it must also be approved by the Chair and the Finance Officer of the AStA.
You will then be notified by mail if the loan has been finally approved.
Approximately 3 weeks may elapse between the time of application and the transfer of the loan. Please plan for this when submitting your application.
We explicitly point out that the first repayment installment must be paid no later than 6 months after receiving the loan. Repayment is possible at any time and can be repaid in installments of at least 50€.
As this is the student body’s money, it is important that repayments are made on time and in the agreed amount. Failure to comply with this obligation can very quickly result in legal fees and bailiff fees for you.
Deferment request
If you have difficulties with the repayment, a deferment request can be submitted to pause the repayment. IMPORTANT: proof in the form of bank statements from the last 3 months must be submitted.
Application for deferral of payments here (German)
