There is no legal claim for a working place!
The administration of the working-places is organized by the Students Committee of the HCU (AStA – Allgemeiner Studierenden-Ausschuss).
Contact persons are: Ms Elke Jarm and her student-assistants (Christina Siebert, Christopher Linzer, Björn Petsch)
E-Mail-Contact: raumvergabe@hcu-hamburg.de
Every single working-place is assigned to the applicant. Students have to renew the application each semester. The distribution follows an official priority scheme:
1. Students preparing their exams
2. Students with social reasons
3. Higher semester goes before lower
5. Relocations are to be avoided
To access the working rooms students need a transponder-key. They can get or change them at the caretakers’ office (A-building, Hebebrandstraße 1).
Deposit:
- For the key 30,00 €
- For the usage of the table 50,00 €
No cash payment possible!
Please transfer the resp. amount to: HCU, account number 20001506, bank code 200 000 00, Deutsche Bundesbank
The AStA has no control over the bookkeeping and therefore we are neither able to confirm the receipt of the amount nor to re-transfer money in case one returns the transponder/working space.
Application procedure:
You can find the application form online on the AStA-Homepage:
http://www.hcu-campus.de/asta/informationen/arbeitsraumvergabe
1. Just fill in the form, don’t firm it.
2. Please save it as PDF and send it to raumvergabe@hcu-hamburg.de
3. If you are working in groups please let us know the names of the members.
4. Last date for the delivery of the form is the first Thursday after lectures start.
5. The distribution of spaces is being decided upon during a meeting at the following weekend. The following tuesday all applicants are informed about the results per mail. Also, in the AStA secretariate a list with the room distribution will be published.
6. Please then sign the application form at the AStA secretariate within 5 weeks after the announcement. Otherwise your request for a working place will expire. After signing, you will receive a certificate to hand over to the caretakers in order to get the transponder-key or to extend its usage.
7. There is an exception regarding the Averhoffstraße: The caretaker of that site is able to extend your key but she can’t hand out any new keys. If you need a new key you have to come to the caretakers’ office in Hebebrandstraße 1.
The working rooms are ruled by self-administration. Shortly after occupying your room you may elect a working-room representative and communicate her/ his name to us. At the end of each semester there will be a general control of the tables and rooms. The date will be communicated. The rooms have to be clean by that day and the tables empty in order to be easily controllable. Also during the semester the AStA-Team will have a look at the working-spaces from time to time.
For returning your working space please again inform raumvergabe@hcu-hamburg.de. After a short acceptance procedure you will get a certificate to hand over to the caretakers. They then will initiate the re-transfer of your deposit.
Please note that cash payments are not possible, and that bank transfers to foreign bank accounts will take several months. Therefore, if you are leaving Germany at the end of the semester think about returning your room and transponder key early enough in order to get back your deposit on a German bank account!
Beginning from winter 11/12 the organisation of our working places has been changed. The following rules have been decided by an assembly of members of all interested students' commitees on saturday 22th october 2011:
A working-place consists of the working-desk and whole the room wherein it is placed. This meens, that the leasing contract (and therefore also the deposit) applies to the maintenance of the room and the desk. Sometimes the rooms are ceded to a group of students. In this case whole the group is liable for the room and all the desks that are contained in it. Sometimes the desk is ceded to two persons. Both are liable for the maintenance of the desk and the room. In case that your desk is damaged or stolen please contact immediately the "AStA-Raumvergabe" to check and (hopefully) resolve the problem. If you want to end the leasing contract before the end of the semester it is necessary to clean the desk and the room.
