Your first days on campus
The lectures in the winter semester 2021/2022 will start on 27 september 2021.
In the winter semester 2021/2022, there will be no central introductory event in attendance due to hygiene regulations to contain the Corona virus. However, the faculties will welcome the new students in decentralised introductory events.
All the measures which the university has taken to stop the spread of coronavirus have been published on its special coronavirus page.
Updates from the Hochschule Esslingen on the Corona Situation
Starting off: what you need to know
HE portal – University Intranet
The HE portal – enter the University’s Intranet
There are a number of areas that can be accessed by students that are not visible to external users. To reach this area, you need to log on to the HE portal. There you can find many topics of information that could be of interest to you.
You can access the portal with your personal username. There, you can find all the information you need about the lecture timetable/schedule (LSF), the learning platform, the University administration, and student representation - AStA, dates, and much more.

Health & Safety Information
Health & Safety Information
Health & safety precautions can save lives.
A health & safety briefing will be held in your first days at the University.
The ongoing, still critical situation caused by coronavirus means that the general safety training for all first semester and newly enrolled students has been centralised and will again be offered and undertaken in the form of Webex events at the end of the semester break and the start of the summer semester 2021 at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences.
Compulsory
The health & safety briefings are compulsory, as they contain necessary information needed e.g. before you work in the labs.
This is also compulsory for students who have taken part in other health & safet briefings, either at work or at other universities.
The online training session takes approx. 30 minutes. You can use the chat function to ask questions which will be answered at the end of the session. After the training session, you will be sent a link to a questionnaire, which you then have to complete in full (don’t forget your name and student ID number!) and submit.
Student ID
PLEASE NOTE: You must supply a passport photo in order to be issued with a student identity card.
Information on the student identity card and passport photo (university account required)
You will receive a student ID with the following features:
- Copy and print card (electronic purse)
- Electronic key
- Library card
- Student ID
- Pay card
The current situation means it is not possible to collect your student identity card in person from the usual collection points this semester. The Student Services and Degree Programme Management Department will therefore send out the student identity cards by post over the coming weeks.
Student Advice Centre
The Student Advice Centre: support from day 1
Beginning your studies means starting a whole new part of your life. It is normal to feel insecure and to have lots of questions in this situation:
- What kind of support can you offer? Who should I go to for what? What do I have to know about rules and regulations? How does this all work?
- Am I going to manage ok in my studies? Am I going to find new friends?
- Help! I can't find a place to live! Do I have enough money for this?
What to do when…? The Student Advice Centre can support you from Day 1 in all general and personal questions. Advice is given in strict confidence.
Library
Get to know the Libraries online
In order to familiarize students with all the services of the library, each campus has an orientation event at the beginning of the semester. The dates for the orientation events for the winter semester 2020 / 2021 will be published shortly.
A wealth of online material is available so that you can familiarise yourself with the libraries even before your first visit.
For example, the libraries’ playlist on the university’s YouTube channel shows you the many facets of the local libraries, and gives you an insight into the many services available from your home.
Moreover, all the latest information is always available on the library home page.

How to find your room
The rooms at Esslingen University are numbered according to the following system:
Example: S 1.204
S/F/G = The letter tells you which campus
(S = Esslingen City Centre Campus, F= Esslingen Hilltop Campus, Flandernstrasse, G = Goeppingen Campus)
The number before the point
tells you the building number
The numbers after the point tell you the room number:
the first number denotes the floor within the building.
If there is a minus sign (-1) before the first digit, the room is in the basement.
Thus, in our example, S 1.204 is located
on the City Centre Campus
in building 1
on the 2nd floor
and has the room number 204.
