FAQ for students
Studying in the 2023 summer semester
What are the regulations for in-person courses?
By resolution of the Presidium dated 8 February 2023, the Basic Hygiene Plan is suspended effective 10 February 2023.
As a result of the expiration, you will no longer be required to comply with the hygiene regulations outlined in the Basic Hygiene Plan in your offices or classrooms. You are of course still able to decide for yourself if you wish to continue following the basic hygiene regulations, such as wearing a mask, keeping a distance of at least 1.5 metres from others, and regularly ventilating indoor spaces to prevent the spread of infection.
Regarding the upcoming examination period, distancing and mask regulations are no longer applicable, including in cases where the minimum distances cannot be maintained Seating and room planning for the examination period has already been coordinated between the faculties and will remain in place.
