Technical Aids Pool
Service Center Studium will be closed during the university closing times from Dec 12, 2024 to Jan 1, 2025 (including). We look forward to being available for you again from 7 January.
The University of Freiburg keeps technical aids and devices that may be checked out free of charge by students with a disability or chronic illness for use in courses. Teachers with disabled students may also check out the aids and devices to facilitate accessibility to their courses and examinations.
The aids and devices may be checked out for a day or a week at a time. They are kept at the Student Service Center in the office of the Representative for Students with a Disability/Chronic Illness, who is responsible for the lending service. The pool contains the following devices and software:
