Measures

Thursday 25 March, following the consultation with the Minister for Education Ben Weyts and the faculty meeting, the following measures will be in effect. It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that the virus spreads as little as possible and is therefore delayed.

• Potential mid-term exams can be organised according to the rules made in June 2020.

• Internships can continue according to the safety rules of the interns workplace.

• Research activities linked to bachelor and master theses can continue, of course subject to safety regulations.

Campus facilities:

• Quiet study places will still be provided for vulnerable students.

• The library will remain open.

• The restaurant will remain open in its current operation.

• Study Guidance will remain open.

• The ‘Kotcoach’  remains available.
