COVID-19 Update (30.06.2020)
- The University of Salzburg Executive Board is currently considering implementing a mixture of on-site and distance learning for the coming semester. We expect to resume normal teaching at the university by the beginning of October, providing that there are no further restrictive regulations imposed before the semester begins. Details about how the courses will be held can be found in the course catalogue of the relevant departments: https://online.uni-salzburg.at/plus_online/webnav.ini (update expected in August 2020).
- General Statement of the Univerity of Salzburg is the Letter of the Rector.
- Please read our FAQs for Incoming and Outgoing Students
- Students who returned back home and continue exchange studies online, but don't come back to Salzburg physically, please deregister your residence in Salzburg.
- Students considering returning to their home country now, should be aware of any travel warnings that may apply to the journey. Check home countries' authorities's websites to find latest news. It’s the home countries' responsibility to support their students in organising the return back home.
- Students are very welcome to stay in Salzburg. This happens on their own responsibility.
Note: Deregistration with the City of Salzburg is possible by email to meldeamt(at)stadt-salzburg.at by sending the completed registration form "Meldezettel" and an ID/passport copy.

The following measures were decided upon:
- It will no longer be possible to return to lecture halls and seminar rooms this summer semester. Exceptions will only be made in specific areas, such as certain laboratory tasks and some practical sports exercises.
- Oral and commission board examinations will be available online from next week. A guideline on this will be published as soon as a regulation has been enacted by the Ministry of Education, Science and Research. Other Exams will be able to take place in university buildings in the coming weeks, but under very restricted conditions. We ask for your patience whilst we prepare the correct regulations for such examinations
- Those who continue the exchange studies online, shall stay in regular email contact with teachers and coordinators in Salzburg and the sending universities.
- Students who decided to cancel their exchange studies (as well remotly), please inform our office. Keep contact to other office/exchange responsibles, e.g. student dorms/house keepers, etc.
- Lending and other support services will soon be phased in again. You will find details on the University Library website. Books can be send back by postal services.
- All offices with personal contact stay closed.
- The Department of International Relations can be contacted by email or phone. The regular opening hours still do not apply. We can only welcome you into the office in exceptional cases accordance with the necessary safety precautions and with an appointment (for details please refer to above mentioned FAQs)

Between Admission and Arrival in Salzburg
After receipt of your admission letter you should:
- Apply for housing (housing service of the Austrian Exchange Service, OeAD),
- Complete the online pre-registration with the University
- Research entry and residence requirements in Austria. Plan to arrive in Salzburg early so you can take care of all the formalities by the first day of classes. It is a good idea to arrive two weeks before the semester starts.
After Arrival in Salzburg
After your arrival in Salzburg, you should move into your temporary or permanent housing. Next, you should come to the International Relations Office. To finalize the registration process you'll need the admission letter, an Incoming Status Form (issued by the International Office in Salzburg) and your passport.
