Study in alternate.mode

All staff members of the department of Student and Academic Affairs are currently in improvised home offices, some need to handle child care on top of that.  In addition, the technical equipment available to them is a challenge and slows down their work.

During this time, the dept. of Student and Academic Affairs can only be contacted at studien@uni-ak.ac.at; there are no deliveries of post.

For the duration of alternate.mode, the dept. of Student and Academic Affairs waives the requirement to present original documents and accepts scanned documents instead. In case of justified exceptions, the department may also accept photos of documents.

By the same token, the department will not issue stamped and signed documents, instead they will produce PDF documents bearing the University‘s official digital signature (Amtssignatur). After approval of continuation, the confirmation of study continuation and study confirmation form are automatically available in the student Online-Service (PDF Archive). Student ID cards are only issued or extended if required - we ask you to contact us individually by email.

We endeavour to keep all necessary procedures running. If you send your first email to us describing your request as precisely and as detailed as possible, this will help us to assist you as quickly as possible.
All department staff works in an improvised home office for the time being, some of us also taking care of their children. The equipment is also a challenge, slowing down our work.

All the best for you in these unusual times!
