The ÖH shows you the best places in Steyr - in the form of a scavenger hunt!
The meeting point is in front of the FH II building

Rumor has it that a treasure of immeasurable value is hidden in the depths of the FH. During the ÖH scavenger hunt, courageous teams of explorers from a wide variety of degree programs set off on a tricky expedition through the FH. The team with the most cohesion, skill and spirit of discovery will win the treasure. So if you want to get to know other students and the campus like no other, then the ÖH scavenger hunt is just the thing for you. Afterwards there will be a get-together/preparation for the Studentspub. Snacks and drinks will be provided. Participation is possible in English and German, please let us know what your preferred language is so that we can take this into account when organizing the team.

When and where will I receive my student ID?

ÖH elections
The student representatives and the university representatives are elected every two years (synchronized with the ÖH elections at universities in May).

ÖH fee
The amendment to the University of Applied Sciences Studies Act came into force on December 5, 2007, which stipulates in §4 para. 9 that students on university of applied sciences degree programs and participants in continuing education courses are members of the Austrian National Union of Students in accordance with the Universities and Colleges Act 1998 - HSG 1998. According to § 29 para. 2 and para. 6 HSG 1998, the ÖH has the right and also the obligation to collect a student fee (ÖH fee) from all its members. According to § 29 para. 4 HSG 1998, payment of the fee is a prerequisite for admission to or continuation of studies. Access to teaching materials on the learning and communication platform ILIAS is only possible after payment of the ÖH fee.
Due to this legal basis, you are “full” members of the ÖH and are therefore also subject to the provisions of the HSG 1998, with all the associated rights and obligations. One of these obligations is the payment of the student fee (ÖH fee).
Currently, the student fee is € 26,20 with a premium of € 0.70 for a collective accident and liability insurance, which is collected by the ÖH based on the right to levy a special contribution in addition to the student fee and paid to the insurer (currently Allianz-Elementar). 

Further information on the ÖH can be found at http://oeh.fh-ooe.at/.
