SVB –Student Proposal Budget
A team from the Student Council of Dentistry manages the decentralized funds of the Student Proposal Budget (formerly known as the Quality Assurance Funds) each year. These are state-provided funds that students of each department can allocate relatively freely within a defined framework.
Our sole aim is to improve teaching for all dentistry students in Freiburg. This includes, for example, the acquisition of borrowable specialist literature and the “Suitcase-Free Preclinical Phase” project.

Information on disadvantage compensation for students with disabilities/chronic illnesses
Students with a disability, chronic illness or not only temporary health impairment that makes it harder from them to complete pass/fail and graded assessments can submit a request for disadvantage compensation.
Disadvantage compensation aims to ensure that the pass/fail and graded assessments can be completed under appropriate conditions and with equal opportunities. Disadvantages that students with the above-mentioned impairments have in comparison to other students when completing pass/fail and graded assessments should be compensated for as far as possible. The requirements that are part of the examination’s performance profile may not be waived and there shall be no overcompensation. Measures to compensate for disadvantages must be determined individually in advance of the respective pass/fail or graded assessment.
Prerequisites for the granting of measures to compensate for disadvantages:
- Presence of a disability, chronic illness or not only temporary health impairment. In comparison to other students and under the regular conditions, the completion of pass/fail and graded assessments is more difficult, due to the impairment.
- The requirements of the pass/fail or graded assessment are not changed by the measures to compensate for disadvantages.
Examples of disadvantage compensation:
Writing time extensions for exams
Breaks in exams
Separate room during the exam
Extension of submission deadlines
Use of technical aids
Form and content of the request:
The request must be submitted in writing to the departmental examination committee (in bachelor’s and master’s degree programs) or to the respective Dean of Studies (in state examination programs).
It should contain as much information as possible about the specific restrictions on the completion of the respective pass/fail or graded assessment and about which measures are being requested.
A medical certificate must be submitted with the request, clearly stating the health impairments and the resulting restrictions on the completion of pass/fail and graded assessments.
The request must be submitted together with the examination registration or at the latest one month before the respective pass/fail or graded assessment.
Contact:
You can obtain further information and advice on disadvantage compensation from the Representative for Students with a Disabilitiy/Chronic Illness of the University of Freiburg and from your examination office.

Maternity protection for pregnant and nursing students
According to § 15 of the Maternity Protection Act, a student should inform the university of her pregnancy and the expected date of delivery as soon as she knows that she is pregnant. As proof of pregnancy, the university must be provided with a copy of the maternity record book, a medical certificate, or a certificate from a midwife or obstetric nurse, indicating the expected date of delivery. A breastfeeding student should also inform the university immediately that she is breastfeeding.
Students can only invoke the protective provisions of the Maternity Protection Act if they have notified the university that they are pregnant or breastfeeding.
The notification should be sent to the Service Center for Studies, Sedanstraße 6, 79098 Freiburg and also to the Office of the Dean of Studies in Dentistry : Studiendekanat Zahnmedizin, Hugstetterstrasse 55, 79106 Freiburg.
