Teaching at the University of Eastern Finland is organised normally at the moment. However, since the coronavirus situation keeps evolving and it can be seen that the epidemic is expanding, the University of Eastern Finland seeks to safeguard the availability of teaching also under exceptional circumstances.
The university’s Academic Rector decided on 12 March 2020 that the faculties, Aducate, the Language Centre and the Library are to organise alternative ways to attend and complete courses for students who cannot participate in in-person teaching on the campuses due to the coronavirus situation. Where possible, in-person teaching on the campuses should be moved online either entirely or in part, or use other alternatives. In addition and where possible, the modes of taking exams should be changed so that they do not require physical presence on campus.
The goal is to make sure that students will be able to complete enough credits in view of, e.g. student financial aid, and that they can graduate within the time limit set for their degree. The units will notify students of any changes made to the way their teaching is offered.
