Introductory week and first semester tutorial
Winter semester
The introductory week is aimed at all first-year students in the Bachelor's programs as well as those who are new to TU Ilmenau for the Master's program. It usually takes place in the first week of October and offers a varied program on all topics related to the start of studies: with introductory events on the respective degree programs, mathematics refresher courses and group meetings with the tutors. These students from higher semesters accompany all new students not only during the first days, but also during the entire first semester and are available for advice and support.
The cultural and recreational program during the introductory week is organised by the ErstiWochen-Organisation (EWO), a working group of the Student Council (StuRa) of the TU Ilmenau. The program of the "ErstiWoche" with all its highlights can be found online.

Registration at the University Library
The TU Ilmenau has its own university library. In addition to the online services such as the use of electronic journals, catalogue search and much more, there is the main library in the Leibniz Building.
In order to use all the services offered by the university library, you need a library card. There is a barcode on your student ID card, which you have to unlock when you visit the library for the first time by accepting the terms of use and after presenting your identity card/passport. The registration itself should be done online shortly before.
After that, your student card is also your library card. The number under the barcode is your user number. This number enables you to access your Online user account. Here you can renew borrowed books, see which books have to be returned, which books you have reserved and which books are ready to be picked up.
