Who is eligible for a committee semester?
- Students who are actively involved at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences may, upon application, be granted up to three committee semesters.
What is the purpose of committee semesters?
- The purpose of this regulation is to protect students who serve on university committees from having to pay long-term tuition fees. Extending the standard period of study for these students serves precisely this purpose.
What is the procedure?
- Students who have served for at least one term on university or student government committees established under the Saxon Higher Education Act (SächsHSG) (§ 21(4) Sächs.HSG) will have one semester—or, in the case of participation spanning multiple years, three semesters—not recognized as part of the standard period of study. (Examination Regulations § 3(1))
- To apply, submit an informal request, accompanied by a certificate from the committee, to the Director of Academic Affairs and International Relations, Dr. Koutková.
