The Student Advisory Services (ZSB) is offering a new weekly clearing consultation from 14.08.2025. The service is aimed at students who need special support in balancing their studies and personal challenges. Family or care responsibilities, health problems or challenges in everyday life - but also an unexpected crisis - can be reasons to visit the consultation. In a confidential one-to-one meeting, ways to better reconcile studies and personal life situation will be discussed. The consultation takes place every Thursday from 10:00 to 12:00 in the ZSB. Registration is not necessary. Please contact the ZSB Infopoint (+49 721 608 - 44930/ info@zsb.kit.edu) if you have any questions.
