For operational reasons, we strongly urge you to choose option 1 or 2 if you need proof of a negative test. The self-test option is very impractical, given that the test must be performed on site and that it is necessary to wait for the results on the premises of the faculty afterwards. We would like to thank you in advance for respecting our wishes and contributing to a smooth enrollment process.
Please have your COVID-related documentation ready upon entry to the building (either on paper or on your phone). In view of the necessary documentation check, please allow some time and arrive at the building approximately 30 minutes before the start of the enrollment process, so that you are able to make your way to the lecture hall (room P131) on time.
Without the necessary COVID-related documentation, you will not be allowed to attend.
