Buildings open, advice to work from home in the morning

The University of Groningen buildings are open and academic ceremonies will go ahead. However, due to the expected freezing rain, the advice is to work from home in the morning, if the nature of the work allows this. The dialogue session on the governance of the University of Groningen will also proceed as planned. Please note: the Sports Centre will be open on Monday from 10:30 a.m.

Partial online teaching

Teaching will continue, but attendance is not compulsory. The lecturer will decide whether teaching will take place online or on location. Keep an eye on the messages from your lecturer. Tips for lecturers on online teaching can be found in this article. (Only visible to staff.)

Safety first

We understand that the ongoing uncertainty and changes are annoying, but safety comes first. We wish all students the best of luck with their exams!
