Things like university planning and financing, the structure of the university, the committee structure, the student body and general points on the subject of studying and teaching, such as quality assurance, graduation, but also regulations for employees and professors as well as central institutions of the universities are anchored here.

Regulations of the student body

As a statutory body the student body (which includes all students of the Chemnitz University of Technology) has the right to regulate its internal order (within a certain framework). Obligatory regulations include the division into faculty student bodies, the amount of the semester contribution, the drawing up of the budget and the elections. This protects the representatives on the one hand and the students on the other.

These are regulated by the election regulations of the university.

Beitragsordnung

In order to fulfil its numerous tasks according to the SächsHSFG, the student body collects contributions from its members, the students. Both the student councils and the student council finance their work from this pot. In addition, the numerous student initiatives benefit from these funds. This contribution is part of the semester fee.

The semester contribution also includes the contribution for theDeutschlandsemesterticket and for the Student_innen-Kulturticket. The contribution regulations also regulate the possibilities for exemption from the Student_innen-Jahresticket.

The Chemnitzer StudentenNetz (CSN) takes care that the students living in the student housing of the Studentenwek can use the almost unlimited possibilities of the internet. This facility is seen as similar to a student club and must therefore also have an order.

Regulations of the Studentenwerk

There are four Studentenwerke in Saxony. These are state institutions, are co-financed by the state and are subject to the Hochschulfreiheitsgesetz. Similar to the organs of the university, our Studentenwerk, which is responsible for the students of the TU Chemnitz as well as the students of the Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau (Studentenwerk Chemnitz-Zwickau), must also have its own rules and regulations, which cover points such as areas of responsibility, organisation, and finances.
