- Students must wear face masks at all times.
- At the beginning of each class, students in the hall will receive a signature list from the professor, which will be kept for the needs of epidemiologists and expert bodies if COVID-19 infection occurs.
- If infection occurs, signature lists will be delivered to the epidemiological unit. In such event, respective students will in most cases be notified of the self-isolation measure.
- In case of symptoms, students are required to fill out a form for reporting symptoms available on the website of the Faculty.
- A member of the teaching staff who has been told to self-isolate will be holding all his/ her classes online for two weeks. Students will be notified via Merlin.
In the Faculty building, it is important to implement and respect general measures to prevent the spread of infection.
In order to ensure the time needed for the implementation of hygienic measures between lectures, students attending classes at the Faculty (in study halls) should come to the Faculty on time, in order for classes to be held according to schedule.
All information will be announced via Merlin under the enrolled courses and/ or under the separate course named "Referada”. At Merlin, within each individual course, the teaching staff will give instructions on how and via which link online classes will be held.
The Reading room is equipped with 28 computers that can be used for attending online classes. It is recommended that students bring their own headphones in order to reduce noise (e.g. mobile headphones).
The present recommendations will be adjusted in accordance with the development of the epidemiological situation and the decisions of the Civil Protection Headquarters.
