The Government announced on May 29, that universities can prepare for a gradual return to on-campus teaching. As a result, the Vice-Chancellor decided on some changes to the directional decision for the autumn semester on June 3. Please note that the main alternative for teaching and examination is still to do it digitally for the first half of the autumn semester.
At TS this means that we continue working with exemptions as we had already been instructed to, following the process that was introduced to you by pro-dean last week.
Hence, any exemptions from digital teaching or examination should still be submitted to the Heads of department by Monday 8th June 11.00, then evaluated as a whole, and will be decided by the Dean on Friday 12th June. The revised decision is attached, and you can read more about it here https://staff.mau.se/first-page/puffs/recommendations-regarding-the-novel-coronavirus-covid-19/.
