Here you will find a range of events that we offer in our O-weeks. Some of these may not take place in the current O-week. You can find the specific schedule for the current O-week here.
Welcome/Kick-off event
The most important event in the entire O-week is the kick-off event. Here, the rest of the O-week will be clarified in more detail and any questions that may still remain unanswered will be clarified. We will also explain all the important things you need for your studies, such as: ⁃ How do I register for courses? ⁃ How do I put together my timetable? ⁃ How does it work with the exams and the grades? and what else has changed compared to school.
Helpdesk
At the help desk we will be available to answer individual questions and problems after the kick-off event. We will also be available throughout the rest of the O-week (and your study time ;) ) by email at fsinfo@fim.uni-passau.de, by telephone or can be reached in person in our office in room IM 244.
Mentoring
During the kick-off event you can register for our mentoring program, where you will be assigned a mentor (student) from your course of study. Your mentor accompanies you through your studies and offers you the opportunity to obtain information about your course of study quickly, unbureaucratically and personally.
Teacher information event
If you are studying a teaching degree course, we have a separate information event for you specifically on the topic of teaching at the FIM. In addition, you should also take a look at the O-Week offer from the Student Representative Council for Teaching (StuVeLa) and the kick-off event of the SoBi (social and educational sciences) student council.
Library tour
During the computer introduction, there will be a short break for a library tour, in which you will learn how to find your way around our libraries and borrow books.
ZIM: Introduction to the University’s IT services
At the Introduction to the University’s IT services, the ZIM introduces itself to you and explains how to use your ZIM ID and CampusCard and the associated services. In addition to the online portals Stud.IP, QISPOS, the campus portal, ILIAS and others, these also include the university VPN and mail service.
Digital resources on this topic include the IT Survival Guide. Of course, these services are also documented on the Help Portal, and the AI chatbot “ZIMI” can answer your questions.
