The Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences launched the new campus app "MyHSZG" on October 2, 2023. This app offers students, employees, prospective students, alumni and guests central access to important information and services relating to campus life. The main functions include access to timetables, campus news, event information and other useful services.
A particular highlight is the planned introduction of a digital student ID card, which will be available from March 1, 2025. This ID card will include an integrated function for the Deutschlandticket. This will not only allow students to manage their student ID digitally, but also to use the Deutschlandticket, which is valid throughout Germany. This offers students a free and flexible way to use local and long-distance public transport throughout Germany.
These digital innovations are part of the HSZG's goal of making everyday life easier for students and facilitating access to relevant services and mobility solutions.
From 02.10.2024, the new course booking module for sports courses will be available to all students and employees of the HSZG. You can use the platform booking.hszg.de/courses/sport-kurse/offers to conveniently and easily register for our wide range of sports courses.
Another project is also in preparation: the introduction of a course booking system for further education courses, which will be available soon.
In addition, the CampusFit project application has been submitted to the SMWK for review, which will further develop the existing course booking module for sports courses and provide additional functions.
The digital withdrawal procedure (application for recognition of reasons for non-participation in the examination) offers students the simple option of withdrawing from examinations at short notice. This makes it easier to deal with unexpected health or care emergencies and reduces the associated stress. It should be emphasized that this only applies to short-term non-participation in the examination due to illness or the care of relatives. It is not yet possible to withdraw from an examination digitally in accordance with Section 14 of the HSZG examination regulations.

From 01.12.2024, the application process for a study place at the HSZG will be further simplified by the introduction of a digital upload. In future, applicants will be able to submit all required documents online, making the process faster and more efficient.
We are also involved in the joint project LieSa | Lifecycle eStudierendenakte. This cooperative reuse project is funded on the basis of the umbrella strategy for digital transformation in the higher education sector and an initiative budget from the Saxon State Ministry of Science, Culture and Tourism. It is being realized in close cooperation with the Technical University of Dresden.

The EXA preliminary project runs until 31.12.2024 and serves as targeted preparation for the subsequent implementation project, which will start on 01.01.2025.
The aim of the project is to implement the Deutschlandticket in the Netinera app (from 01.09.2024) and the Campus app (from 01.03.2025). The Deutschlandticket enables the use of local and regional transport throughout Germany and is offered digitally in the apps. The integration includes the connection to national ticket servers and QR code generation for ticket control.
The project schedule provides for the development, testing and introduction of the functionalities in both apps to ensure seamless and user-friendly use.
The aim of the project is to introduce an applicant management system to professionalize the personnel selection processes at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences. The system will make the recruitment of professors, academic and non-academic staff, trainees and, where applicable, assistants more efficient and transparent. It enables structured applicant management, automated communication and an optimized selection process to improve the quality and efficiency of personnel selection processes. Digitalization also reduces manual processes and ensures better traceability in the selection process.
A new digital sick note form has been available to all employees since September 28, 2023. This service makes it possible to submit sick notes quickly and easily online via the "MyHSZG" campus app or the quick links on the HSZG website. The digital process saves time, minimizes transmission errors and provides transparent communication by automatically sending confirmations and information to the relevant people. This makes reporting sick easier and contributes to more efficient administration.
The aim of digitizing the teaching application, teaching assignment and billing process is to improve the efficiency, transparency and traceability of these administrative processes. By using digital solutions, paper-based and manual processes are to be replaced by automated and networked systems. This will significantly reduce the administrative burden, minimize sources of error and facilitate communication between teaching staff, administration and other relevant bodies. In addition, digitization ensures faster processing, central data storage and a uniform workflow, which leads to optimized resource planning and improved control of teaching assignments and billing.
The aim of digitizing absence management (leave, corrections) is to make the processes for managing absences such as leave requests, sick notes and other corrections more efficient, transparent and user-friendly. Digital solutions are intended to replace existing paper-based and manual processes in order to reduce administrative effort, shorten processing times and minimize the susceptibility to errors.
A digital absence management system provides employees and managers with a central platform for requesting, approving and managing absences. Automated workflows ensure clear and traceable processing, while integrated calendar and notification functions enable a better overview and planning. In addition, digitization ensures a uniform database that guarantees the transparency and traceability of corrections and requests.
Scope: time recording, vacation, absence calendar, correction documents
On September 28, 2023, the new form service (eGovernment basic component) was introduced at our university. The first digital form to be made available is the sick note for staff. Employees can now conveniently submit their sick notes online, which speeds up and simplifies the administrative process. This introduction is an important step in the digitalization of internal university processes. From 22 January 2024, the university will provide its own customized form service. This will be hosted on the servers of the University Computer Center to ensure high availability and performance.
