The Seezeit social counselling department is your first port of call. It provides information and support for students and prospective students with disabilities and/or chronic illness. Once we have considered your particular situation, we will advise you on many areas concerning your studies: barrier-free halls of residence and student organisations, local transport and individual mobility, job searches, semester abroad and special student grants and benefit entitlement.
You can contact the universities’ own authorised representatives for students with disabilities and/or chronic illness if you have any university-specific questions regarding, for example, teaching, first allocation of student places via hardship fund application or compensation for disadvantages when taking exams. You can get an initial overview of all personally relevant topics by reading the “Un-behindert studieren“ (‘Unhindered study’) brochure or the “Studium und Behinderung” (Studying and disability) handbook.
You will find the social counselling office K 312 in building K, below the canteen at the University of Konstanz. Your advisor there is Marlies Piper.

If, due to limited mobility, you can use the public transport system free of charge and have a disabled identification card with accompanying document and stamp, you can have the solidarity contribution for the semester ticket reimbursed. To do this, you must submit an informal application in writing to the Service Center before the start of the semester.
