Learning and Study Building

Information A-Z

In consequence of the decision of the Study Quality Commission (SQK) of the University of Göttingen to permanently reduce operating costs of the LSG, the help desk can only be provided to a limited extent. This entails some changes and restrictions of services.
To ensure smooth operation, the LSG help desk is staffed during core hours from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. daily. This means that printing, copying and scanning as well as the acceptance of lost property will also be possible again during this period.
With our "Information A-Z" we provide answers to your questions. Please feel free to contact us with further questions at lsg-support@sub.uni-goettingen.de. Thank you very much!
