On Campus with child

Parent-child parking spaces at the KU

There are parking spaces in both Eichstätt and Ingolstadt that can be used when students bring their child to campus. This applies until the child starts school. Pregnant students can also use these parking spaces.

In Eichstätt, there is a designated parking area in the cafeteria parking lot.

In Ingolstadt, parking is available in the KU's large staff parking lot.

To use these parent-child parking spaces, a special parking permit and a parking lot transponder are required, which can be applied for at the room administration (Ref. III/2, raumanfragen(at)ku.de).

The informal application must be submitted via the KU e-mail address. The following documents are required:

• Certificate of enrollment
• Proof of the child's age (e.g. birth certificate) or proof of pregnancy

You can also submit the required documents directly to the room administration in the KAP106 office.

The parking permit is valid for the current semester and must be extended accordingly. Student parents can use the parking spaces on the days on which they take their child to the university.

Family room

In the building of the Central Library (room no. UA002) in Eichstätt a family room is available for you. Here you have the possibility to change your child's nappy, breastfeed it or rest. There is also a desk and toys for small children.

KidsBox - the mobile kids' room

The KU has two exemplars of the KidsBox. The KidsBox is designed as a mobile kids' room and equipped for babies and children up to primary school age (https://my-kidsbox.de/). You can use the KidsBox if you exceptionally need to bring your children to work or study or if you want to organise childcare for an event.

In Eichstätt, the KidsBox is located in the Aula in the KG building and should primarily be used in this buildung. Due to its size it is very difficult to transport the box to other buildings. However, materials can be taken out of the KidsBox at any time for use in other buildings.

In Ingolstadt, the KidsBox is located in the main building of the WFI. Here, too, materials can be taken out of the box for use.

If you would like to use the KidsBox either in Eichstätt or in Ingolstadt, please contact the Family-friendly KU (familie(at)ku.de).

Children's plate in the mensa

The Studierendenwerk Erlangen-Nuremberg offers a free children's plate. This is an addition to your meal. You as a parent must also consume, only then will the children's portion be added free of charge.

To apply for the Kindertellerkarte the following requirements must be met:

• The parent entered on the card must be enrolled in the current semester at a university in the area of the Studierendenwerk Erlangen-Nuremberg.
• The child registered on the card must not be older than 10 years.

The Kindertellerkarte can be applied for at the Studierendenwerk. You can find more information here.

Play corner in the canteen

In the canteen, families will find a separated area where (small) children can play while their parents eat. The play corner contains various toys for small children and some books. We kindly ask you to clean up the play corner after use and leave it tidy.

Playground

In the courtyard garden of the summer residence there is a playground where you and your child can spend free time. Swings, sandbox, seesaw and more invite you to romp around in the middle of the campus.

Welcome box for KU-newborns

Newborn children of students and employees of KU receive a welcome from the university: among other things, the original KU baby romper suit as well as information material for parents, which the ZFG has compiled. The greeting is packaged in a box that was hand-painted by children in the Uni-Kinderhaus. To make sure that you and your baby receive the welcome box, please contact the ZFG personally (familie(at)ku.de).
