Welcome to the KIT Family Portal
The KIT, as an employer and a place of university studies, considers it its duty to look after the needs of its employees and students. Working fathers and mothers face the very special challenge of devoting equal attention to their work and to family life as well as to child care. Students who must simultaneously master the education of and care for their children have to make a tremendous effort. All this takes organizational skills, stamina, but also perseverance.
To provide our employees and students with all important information about the compatibility of studies, work, and family, we developed the Family Portal. This is where KIT staff members will find all information associated with family matters. Besides current developments in family-orientedness of the KIT, the Family Portal also shows how to find the right contact.
On May 4th, 2022, student parents could find out more about "Studying with Family" at the KIT cafeteria. More about the offer and the campaign "Kind & Campus: That's how it works!" can be found on the family portal.

Daycare centers have reopened under pandemic conditions in all states. The openings are linked to the 7-day incidence. If the local incidence values are between 100 and 165, this would result in restricted regular operation. If the incidence is 165 for three consecutive days, emergency daycare will go into effect. For the German Student Union's weekly updated overview of daycare, see "Studying with a Child in Times of Covid-19".
