Student and academic elections 2021
From June 28th to July 12th, 2021, the student and academic elections will be held as a mail-only election. In order to allow all students to participate in the election without risk in the current situation, the university and the student parliament have decided not to have face-to-face elections.
If you have any questions about the election, you can contact wahl@stud.rwth-aachen.de!
