Corona adaptations

As of 15 June 2020 teaching and examination can take place on campus provided the format makes it possible to comply with the guidelines from the Public Health Agency of Sweden and SLU's own instructions related to the pandemic.

• Course components where groups are smaller than 50 students can be

taught on campus provided certain precautions will be taken. For groups bigger than 50 students, teaching will be online.

• The lecture rooms will have a new maximum number of users. Where it

is possible, chairs will be removed and tables will be dispersed in order to maintain social distance. In the larger lecture rooms rows of seats will be blocked.

Corona adaptations

Face masks – SLU applies the Public Health Agency’s guidelines on the use of masks, meaning we will not be issuing a recommendation to wear masks. Anyone who still opts to wear a mask is personally responsible for buying it, ensuring that it is used correctly and does not replace social distancing, washing hands and staying at home in case of symptoms. Most important: wash your hands regularly and stay at home/don’t attend to classes if you feel sick or have any symptoms.
