Dear students,

let's take another step towards normality together. The university's goal is to start again with all the teaching activities of the next academic year on site: lectures, exams, graduation sessions and proclamations, orientation and tutoring, labs. This, of course, in compliance with the guidelines adopted by the Ministry of University and Research, the regulations and provisions in force throughout the country for the containment of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The general epidemiological situation, still uncertain, requires caution, a lot of attention and an almost daily evaluation, linked to the evolution of the pandemic. Therefore, new indications have been prepared for the conduct of teaching activities valid, at present, until September 30th 2021: lectures will start again on site, but distance learning is always ensured and will continue throughout the academic year 2021-2022.

What will happen after September 30th? Will the Green Pass be required for students? Our university will comply with the ministerial provisions that will be issued. In the event that, due to the health emergency, the national and regional authorities have the application of more restrictive measures, the current rules for the return will be promptly adapted.

I wish you all a peaceful summer and new positive energies for the restart of our university life.

The rector Angelo Tagliabue

In order to guarantee the attendance to lectures of all students of a specific cohort, appropriate daily or weekly shifts may be planned by the concerned Department.

RESPONSIBLE PRESENCE

To allow maximum onsite attendance and adequate organization, complying with safety regulations, it is essential that students behave responsibly in the management of reservations and during their presence in the university facilities.

WRITTEN EXAMS AND PRACTICAL TESTS

Traditional written tests and practical tests take place onsite, in compliance with the maximum number of classroom places, required by the Covid protocol.

Anyone unable to participate in the exam, for reasons that arose after the registration deadline, must communicate it via email to the teacher exclusively via an institutional email address.
