Education: Template for deviations because of covid-19

21 April 2020

To decrease the spread of covid-19 education undergoes big changes. Guidelines and a template for deviations from syllabus and postponing of course instances are now available.

The development of the spread of COVID-19 has led to that all teaching that involves presence in university premises must be cancelled and replaced with alternative forms of teaching.
Should this not be possible, there may, in certain cases, be necessary to decide on deviations from programme syllabi or postpone a course instance to a later date in the extent necessary to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
This could, for instance, be to change the order of courses within a degree programme, or to postpone a freestanding course for the future even if students have already been admitted. This goes for both course instances within degree programmes and course instances within freestanding course instances.

This opportunity to make decisions on deviations and postponements of course instances is valid from 7 April 2020 until 7 June 2020. Decisions are made by the Dean.

In Aurora there is guide and a template for deviations from programme syllabus and postponing a course instance at the Faculty of Science and Technology.
