COVID-19 Guidelines – Humboldt International Campus (HIC)

The health and well-being of HU students and faculty are our priority. We fully support the national COVID-19 vaccine rollout and encourage students and faculty to take up the offer of vaccination.

The pandemic task force aims to protect all Humboldt students, faculty, and visitors. They have developed further regulations and recommendations for students planning to attend classes on campus.

The below regulations will be applied starting from the winter semester 2021/22:

• All course participants and interns on campus must be either vaccinated, recovered, or tested.
  
• International students who have been vaccinated in their home country must ensure that the German government has approved their specific vaccine . With a valid vaccination certificate in English, they will have access to all classrooms and other places at Humboldt-Universität.
• Those who have not been vaccinated must get tested before each class session on campus. Humboldt-Universität is planning to cover the testing costs on a transitional basis. From a certain point, students and faculty will have to pay for tests. Thus, the pandemic task force recommends all students and faculty to get vaccinated.
• All persons planning to travel to Germany should thoroughly inform themselves about the general entry requirements set at the federal or state level, including quarantine.Websites of the Federal Foreign Office

Please note that any effective restrictions on traveling to Germany may also limit the entry of international students and interns. We advise you to check for yourself before you travel to Germany whether you are entering from a risk area: Robert Koch Institut

Digital entry registration:
Travelers who have visited a risk area, high incidence area, or virus variant area in the last ten days before entering Germany must register in advance and carry proof of registration with them upon entry.

Test requirement upon entry and quarantine regulations:
Travelers who have been in a high incidence area or a virus variant area in the past ten days before entering Germany must carry proof that they have been tested negative for infection with SARS-CoV-2.

In Germany, the individual federal states are responsible for quarantine regulations. In general, upon entry to Germany, following a stay in a risk area, high incidence area, or virus variant area within the last ten days, one must self-isolate for ten days (quarantine).
