The official start of the FIM-Orientation weeks is on Tuesday, April 7. You can find the current schedule for the rest of the event on the Dates and Course Times page.
Current information and materials on the FIM-O Weeks can be found in the Orientation Weeks overview of the FSinfo (student council of the Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics), which is co-organizing these Orientation Weeks, as well as in their Stud-IP event 244.
The contents of the introductory computer course will be available via the Stud-IP event 5000 until the start of the course.
Before the actual start of lectures, the Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics (FIM) offers one orientation week (or two before the winter semester) to help students get started with their studies. The event is organized by the FIM student council in cooperation with FIM system support and FIM lecturers.
The program is aimed at first-year students enrolled in a degree program at the Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics at the University of Passau:
The Orientation-Week content is specifically tailored to these degree programs. For this reason, and also due to limited capacity in the area of computer introduction, students from other degree programs are not admitted to this program.
Attending the O-Week(s) is not mandatory, but it does offer advantages when starting your studies. By the time lectures actually begin, you will already be familiar with your study environment, so you won't have to figure everything out for yourself and won't lose time due to orientation problems.
The FIM's Orientation-Week program usually includes the following:
The FIM-O Week program is supplemented by events and online information from ZIM. Here you can learn how to use the Stud.IP study organization system or get information about the university's general IT services, which you can access with your general university ID.
