Karelia Univer­sity of Applied Sciences starts imple­ment­ing studies as distance learn­ing online as of Wednes­day 18th March

Karelia Univer­sity of Applied Sciences contin­ues its normal activ­i­ties despite the coro­n­avirus epidemic. So far, no coro­n­avirus infec­tions have been discov­ered in Karelia UAS. However, Karelia UAS is actively striv­ing for slowing down the spread of the epidemic and conse­quently, most studies will be imple­mented as distance learn­ing online as of Wednes­day, 18thMarch (Monday 16th March?). The campuses are normally open until further notice.

Karelia UAS recom­mends that all members of staff work remotely when­ever possi­ble. In addi­tion, Karelia UAS strongly recom­mends avoid­ing all trav­el­ling. All work-related trips abroad and in Finland are prohib­ited until further notice. Further­more, Karelia UAS does not accept any inter­na­tional guests at the moment. All meet­ings will also be conducted remotely.

Both students and members of staff return­ing to Finland from abroad must stay home for 14 days before return­ing to the school/workplace. Students are advised not to go on inter­na­tional exchange at the moment.

Employ­ees may be on sick leave for 7 days by inform­ing their supervisor.
