As of Wednesday 18 March, only distance education courses and programmes will be offered. The University campus stays open as a workplace and is open for individual studying.
At present, the University is making every effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus and follows all recommendations the government and the Public Health Agency of Sweden announced on Tuesday.
The University crisis management team has taken two decision which will affect the activities. First, there will be no teaching and no examinations on campus. Secondly, members of staff who belong to a risk group or who commute from the Stockholm region should work from home, if possible. Working from home should be discussed with your immediate manager.
Intensive preparations for the switch to distance education have begun. The University management realizes that this transition is a great challenge and urges everyone to be patient. We ask for your understanding, as it might take some time before the transition is fully completed.
To support the teaching staff, course coordinators and students, webpages with useful information have been published on the intranet; they contain technical information as well as practical advice on regarding effective distance education.
As a result of today’s decisions, the following applies to all members of staff and students at the University of Gävle.
The University campus stays open as a workplace, but, as before, it is essential that everyone acts responsibly. Stays at home if you feel unwell and remember hand hygiene.
Members of staff can send their questions to covid19@hig.se
Students can contact the Student Centre studentcentrum@hig.se or pose questions in the chat at www.hig.se
There will be no teaching and no examinations on campus for the rest of the semester, all teaching and assessment will be carried out remotely. Entrances at the University campus are now open only for students and members of staff in order to slow down the spread of the virus and to create greater security. The Library is now open between 10 am – 2 pm, Mondays – Fridays.
We strongly advice everyone with symptoms of a cold (respiratory infection) or influenza to stay at home. Members of staff who commute from the Stockholm region or who belong to a risk group are recommended to work from home, if possible, after a discussion with your immediate manager. No travelling on behalf of the University abroad and no international student exchanges are allowed. Travelling on behalf of the University within Sweden should be avoided. Immediate managers make the decision and all tickets should be fully flexible.
Students who are feeling well should participate in group study work by using digital tools like Zoom and Teams. Arranging such digital groups could require extra work for course coordinators and teaching staff during a limited period of time. Discuss this situation with your immediate manager.
