LUH Campus – Safer Science! – LUH wristbands facilitate access

Dear colleagues,

As explained in yesterday’s email sent by the President with regard to “Starting on-campus learning at Leibniz University Hannover”, the 3G rule will be used for regulating access to Leibniz University Hannover from 4 October.

In order to implement the 3G rule in the context of on-campus learning in a feasible way, as well as to facilitate monitoring compliance, the Presidential Board has decided to provide coloured LUH access wristbands for vaccinated and recovered students (and of course members of staff). These bands can be worn around the wrist permanently and can be replaced, if necessary. Wristbands will be issued from 04.10.2021 and may be used on a voluntary (!) basis.

This concept has been developed in cooperation with the Senate work group “AG Gute Lehre”, where all status groups are represented, especially students. We presume that this solution will enable us to monitor compliance quickly, thus avoiding long queues at checkpoints. This way, we hope that lectures and courses will be disrupted as little as possible.

To increase the impact of the Presidential Board’s idea, we would like to launch a comprehensive campaign guided by the motto “LUH Campus - Safer Science!” in order to distribute the wristbands. We will help distributing wristbands and:

We encourage faculties, central facilities, departments and all university members to actively support us in this endeavour!

Members of student body councils and the students' union too have indicated that they would like to provide support with distributing wristbands.

Following consultation with your supervisor, please enter your name in the Seafile schedule if you are available for distributing LUH access wristbands.

At the issuing points, supporting staff will be required to check vaccination certificates (fully vaccinated at least 14 days ago) or proof of recovery, ideally provided via digital means of authorization (CoronaAPP etc.), as well as identity cards and put on the wristbands. Once opened, the clasp to secure the band cannot be closed again.

Wristbands for members of staff will be available at the same issuing points or via the dean's offices. To avoid unnecessary queues and delays, please book a timeslot via Stud.IP in order to collect your LUH access wristband.

Many thanks and kind regards,

Julia Gillen
Vice President for Teaching and Academic Programmes
