Support for your final assignment
Use the special library services for your bachelor's or master's thesis!
VIP status for graduates
- longer loan periods
- privileged reservations
- mobile lockers
As soon as you can name a topic and a supervising professor of your bachelor's thesis, please let us know in person or by e-mail. You will then be granted some privileges. Master students receive VIP status automatically.
You can now borrow up to 50 books. The loan period will automatically be extended 5 times. Please present books you have borrowed before status change at the library counter and have them transferred to the automatic loan period extension.
Please note: There is no guarantee that you can keep books for half a year. If a reservation is made by somebody else, you must return the reserved medium at the end of its individual loan period. In that case, you will receive an email notification in advance. We also recommend to check your user account in the InfoGuide regularly. If you do not return a reserved medium on time, you will have to pay reminder fees as usual.
With graduate status you can also reserve or lend mobile lockers.
