Insurance/liability
The voluntary participation of students in general university sports is deemed to be insured if the following conditions are fulfilled:

The sports course at the university must have the status of an official university sports event.
General university sports must be realised by the university itself or by a higher education institution.
The practice of sports must take place within the organised practice, i.e. during the fixed times and under the direction of an appointed trainer.

For BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg staff members, a sports accident is deemed to be an industrial accident and is therefore insured if the sporting activity takes place within the framework of a company sports group. To find out whether the desired sports offer meets this requirement, please contact Central department University Sports.

Civil servants are generally subject to special accident insurance rules stipulated by civil service accident regulations;

Partaking in voluntary sporting activities outside the organised practice on the university sports facilities is not insured, as is the practice of competitive sports in university and other sports clubs.

Furthermore, participation in events organised by cooperating institutions is not insured. Those not affiliated with the university must be privately insured.

The university shall accept no liability for theft and damage to persons or objects. All sports accidents must be reported to the Central department University Sports within 3 days and an accident report form must be completed.
