If student belong to the risk groups for coronavirus disease, contact the teacher. Teachers will guide students on how to complete the course. If using the exam rooms is not safe enough for students belonging to the risk groups for coronavirus disease even with safe distances and increased cleaning and hand hygiene, the University is committed to finding alternative methods for the exams conducted in exam rooms, such as a Moodle exam. The student must produce documentation of belonging to a risk group (e.g. a doctor’s note) and the special arrangements cannot be requested due to fear of coronavirus infection. In addition, living with a family member who belongs to a risk group is not sufficient grounds for special arrangements.
