(Updated on February 23, 2021)
In order to reduce the danger of infection by the corona virus, numerous measures have been taken at the HFT Stuttgart, about which we would like to inform you here. Processes and dates must always be adapted to the current situation. Therefore please inform yourself regularly in Moodle and here on the website of the HFT Stuttgart about the current status.
We wish all university members to get through this difficult time well and stay healthy
The University Board of the HFT Stuttgart
Lecture period including preparation week: 15 March - 01 July 2021 Preparation week for first-year students: 08 March to 12 March 2021 Examination period: 02.-17.07.2021 Semester design: The summer semester 2021 will start as a largely digital semester and will only be conducted with mandatory practical courses in attendance. The timetable will be designed as in the previous semesters under the fictitious assumption that the teaching would take place in presence.
The state government of Baden-Württemberg has adopted further measures to contain the Corona pandemic with effect from 15.02.2021. Detailed information can be found under the following link: Current changes to the Corona regulations
In case of a positive test, you will be asked (in addition to the notification to be made immediately to the health department) not to come to HFT for the next 10 days. In addition, you will be asked to send a list with the names of the persons with whom you have had close contact to corona(at)hft-stuttgart.de. Please refer to the latest information from the RKI.
All further information on the procedure can be obtained from the Health Department and the Ministry of Social Affairs in Baden-Württemberg
Teaching will take place online until the end of the summer semester 2021.
Attendance events that have already been approved can be held as planned - on the basis of the currently valid CoronaVO - in strict compliance with the hygiene concept.
Please note that these approvals are always granted on the basis of the currently valid Corona Ordinance.
Until the end of the summer semester 2021, only university staff and university members may enter the university.
On the HFT campus, there is an unrestricted obligation to wear mouth-nose coverings in all rooms and on the open-air grounds from 13.10.2020. This includes corridors, courtyard, lecture halls, lift, meeting rooms, kitchens and group offices (the latter if more than one person is present). The use of FFP2 masks is strongly recommended. We would like to point out that the procurement of FFP2 masks is your responsibility. Only in urgent emergencies are individual FFP2 masks available in the central secretariats in buildings 1-3 and in building 8.

Due to the current obligation to provide information in order to trace possible chains of infection, registration is mandatory for attendance events. If possible, this should be done online via the HFT app or via web variants. Alternatively, paper forms and collection containers are available in the entrance areas of the university buildings.
Online registration:
Registration is carried out with a smartphone in the HFT app or via a mobile web variant by scanning the QR code. It is also possible to register via laptop. Every room change requires a login/logout. It is not allowed to log in only for the first lecture and log out after the last lecture.
Registration in paper form
Alternatively, registration in paper form can be done in the entrance areas of the buildings. Registration forms are available there and there are collection containers. In order to minimise the organisational effort, we kindly ask you to use online registration as a priority.
The info and support counter is closed. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us by email or via the service and support portal of the information center.
