HSGcard
The HSGcard serves for identification purposes, e.g. for exams, as a print and copy card and as a library card. Additionally, the card contains your access authorisation to the Unisport fitness room (after completing the fitness room introduction) and the Buddy-System-Icon.
Numbering of the rooms
All rooms on campus are numbered and follow a uniform numbering system. For example, you are looking for room 01-U205? Then you have to go to the 2nd underground floor (U2) of the main building (01). The first digits (XX-) indicate the building number, the next the floor (-XX-). U1 stands for the first underground floor, 0 for the ground floor, 1 for the first upper floor and so on. Finally, the last digits (-XX) correspond to the room number.
Please note the different opening hours of the buildings on campus.
