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.
Today, the University crisis management team has taken the decision to offer only distance education courses and programmes.
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 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.
Students can contact the Student Centre studentcentrum@hig.se or pose questions in the chat at www.hig.se
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.

Students can find general information on our website (hig.se), social media and via digital information boards on campus.
