Emergency and Medical

Illness Report

If you are not feeling well, please fill out an illness report with the Program Assistant on the day you are sick. This form must be handed in to the Program Assistant personally within working hours. The form is only valid if countersigned by the Assistant.

Absence Policy

Every absence totaling more than one in classes that meet once a week, two in classes that meet twice a week, and four in classes that meet four times per week (5 for Intensive German), will result in lowering the final grade by one third of a grade (A to A-, A- to B+, B+ to B, etc.). Absences on Mondays, Thursdays and days before the long weekend count double. In weeks with Friday classes, Friday absences count double rather than Thursday classes. Documented illness counts as one absence. Therefore absences should be reserved for emergencies and documented illness only!

Counseling

Studying and living abroad is an exciting adventure but it also comes with its own set of challenges. Often students may struggle with the transition of being in a new country, the changes to routine and daily life, being far from support networks back home, and managing the stress of juggling the academic, social, and personal demands of such a transformative year.

Feelings such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, disappointment, and confusion can emerge, and previous emotional and mental health struggles may re-emerge as well. The time abroad can feel quite tough for many students, and counseling is one way that students can be supported during their stay in Heidelberg.

The counseling service is :
-free for Pepperdine students
-confidential
Counseling services are available on alternating Tuesdays from 7-9 pm at Frau Hagen's practice. To schedule an appointment, please contact the counselor, Anja Hagen, using your PEPPERDINE email address at : anja.hagen@gmx.com
