The Representative Council for Academic and Artistic Staff represents the interests of all non-professorial academic staff at the University of Passau, including academic councillors, academic staff, academic assistants, lecturers, teachers for special tasks and teaching assistants.
As a representative body, we are committed to keeping those we represent informed of all relevant developments and to ensuring transparency in everything we do. Our tasks are as follows:
The representative council convenes at least twice every semester, during the lecture period.
In this Onboarding Guide, we have compiled information for a successful start to your working life at the University of Passau. You will find an overview of important contact persons, help in using the university's own computer programmes and information on organisational topics.
The Human Resources Division provides information on all documents to be submitted in order to complete the employment contract. The application for exemption from the compulsory insurance in the supplementary pension scheme is particularly important. The application must be submitted within two months of the start of the employment relationship, otherwise the occupational pension entitlement will lapse.
Please note: If the employment contract is interrupted for even one day, you have to submit a new application for exemption. If this is not done, you will automatically be compulsorily insured again.
Questions? Please contact Diana Eckmüller (Phone extension: -1320).
To order books, magazines etc. online or borrow books from the University Library, you need to present your CampusCard at the library check-out counter. This card is issued upon commencement of employment or enrolment as a doctoral student.
The library regularly offers guided tours and training courses. For more information and to make an appointment, please see Guided Tours and Training Seminars.
Doctoral students without an office workstation at the university may also apply for a carrel in the library as a workstation. Please contact the University Library for further information.
Staff members of the university who are simultaneously enrolled as doctoral students can choose between a CampusCard for students (student ID) and a CampusCard for University staff. The help & support page provides information about the CampusCard for doctoral students and the different CampusCard versions.
Enrolment as a doctoral student at the University should be done at the beginning of doctoral study. A semester contribution is payable each semester. When you enrol, you have access to the following benefits:
For us as representatives for academic staff it is important to know about the number of doctoral students at the University and to be able to reach them if necessary. Only this enables us to make representative statements. We therefore strongly encourage all doctoral students at the University of Passau to enrol at the University.
University staff members are given an e-mail address and ZIM credentials at beginning of their employment. External (i.e. non-enrolled) doctoral students may also apply for ZIM credentials.
You need these credentials, e.g. to register in Stud.IP (one of the University's virtual learning environments), to log into your e-mail account, or to access the University Library via external access. Lecturer authorisation must be applied for separately by someone with the required permissions (chair holder or secretaries).
The Graduate Centre is there for all our early career researchers. To support them, the Centre offers information, advisory services, a programme of events, financial support schemes, and more.
