Orientation Days – VIP

We are pleased that you as virtual students will be part of the Justus Liebig University Giessen in this winter semester.

We have prepared an orientation programme for you to ensure that you have a successful start to virtual studies at JLU. All of the events of the programme will be accessible through a virtual platform. This platform holds a lot more sessions, but they are primarily directed at students coming to Giessen to study full-time. Therefore, we have prepared a suitable selection for you (see below). We highly recommend you to participate in all of them. You can access this platform as well as all sessions and presentations without registration on:

 The presentations offered will be held using Cisco Webex Meetings. You can either open Webex Meetings in your browser (preferably Firefox, since Safari and Internet Explorer are not supported), or download the app here. You should do a technical test of Webex Meetings beforehand here. We recommend you to use a laptop/PC instead of your smartphone/tablet since some of the features will not be available if you are using a mobile device.

You should also make sure to sit down in a quiet place while participating in the sessions. You should be able to participate having all audio functionalities in place (video and microphone). However, usually you should be muted when entering a presentation, except for the Q&A session where we will inform you in the beginning how we will interact to answer your outstanding questions. Please note that the Q&A sessions are an exclusive offer for you as virtual students and will therefore take place in a separate WebEx meeting. Please find the login information for these meetings in the programme overview below.

In addition, please find an introduction with English subtitles to JLU’s course management system Stud.IP, which you will be using as of next week, here.

Please also keep in in the start of lectures on November 2^nd and access your lectures via Stud.IP if not explained otherwise by your lecturer.
