Selbstverwaltung
Self-administration
Students administrating students
The student home self-administration (HSV) is an essential element of the Schollheim. Residents can participate in shaping their own Schollheim community by organizing, regulating, and managing their life together. The HSV is subdivided into different departments, in which the members take on specific tasks.
It is possible to participate in the HSV by taking over a specific duty (see departments below) or through your own initiative. With their commitment, residents show their community spirit and at the same time strengthen their reputation and social connections. Importantly, HSV points are earned through taking on department responsibilities. These points are necessary to move into larger rooms or to apply for a residence time extension. Ultimately, HSV involvement leads to an increase in connections within the Schollheim, a quality that will benefit Schollis in every way.
The HSV is most visible in the „General Assembly” (VV) and „Corridor Representative Assembly” (FVV) meetings, both held once a semester. At the VV, the events in the dormitory during the past semester are reported, motions are debated and HSV department members are awarded their points. Each resident present has the right to vote. At the FVV, the new department members for the coming semester are elected. At the FVV, every resident can apply for a department, but only the corridor representatives have the right to vote.
All departments and their respective regulations can be found here for the residents of Schollheim (under „Referatsordnung”).

Probezeit
Bekommt man von der Verwaltung einen Mietvertrag angeboten, ist die Wohnzeit darin normalerweise auf 3 Jahre begrenzt, wovon das erste Jahr die sog. Probezeit ist. Um die Probezeit zu evaluieren, werden am Ende der ersten 6 Monate nach Einzug die Flurmitbewohner/innen in einer anonymisierten Umfrage zu dem/der neuen Nachbar/in befragt. Dabei ist relevant, ob er oder sie ihren Fluraufgaben nachkommt, sich den Mitbewohnern/-innen gegenüber angemessen verhält und sich am Flurleben beteiligt. Das Schlichtungsreferat wertet die Umfragen aus und entscheidet anhand dieser, ob die Probezeit bestanden ist, und man weiterhin im Wohnheim wohnen darf. Kommt man mit seinem Flur gut zurecht, sollte das Bestehen der Probezeit kein Problem sein.
Wohnzeitverlängerung
Nach Ende der regulären Wohnvertragslaufzeit von 3 Jahren kann man einen Verlängerungsantrag stellen. Dazu muss ein halbseitiges Motivationsschreiben eingereicht werden und man muss sich während der ersten 3 Jahre engagiert haben, um die benötigte Anzahl an HSV-Punkten vorweisen zu können. Anschließend führen die Heimräte/-innen eine anonymisierte Umfrage unter den Flurmitbewohnern/-innen über den Verbleib des/ der Antragsstellers/-in durch – ähnlich wie bei der Probezeit. Verläuft diese positiv, kann man mit einer einjährigen Verlängerung des Mietvertrags rechnen. Es können mehrere Verlängerungen beantragt werden, zu beachten ist jedoch, dass die nötige Anzahl an HSV-Punkten mit jeder Verlängerung steigt.
