If you have on-campus teaching or have booked a study space, do the corona check before you come in to the University. Answer the five questions on the checklist to see whether you can come. Stay at home if the check tells you to. This is to protect the health of your fellow students and ensure the University can stay open.

The infection rate is rising again in the Netherlands – especially among students and young people. We are pleased to be able to offer some of our teaching on campus and do not want to have to return to 100% online. It is therefore essential that you stay at home if the corona check tells you to. This is for the protection of your fellow students, your lecturers and the other staff members in our buildings.  

Distance, distance, distance

If you are allowed to come to the University, always keep 1.5 metres away from others and avoid busy places, in the buildings too. Also follow the instructions on the signs and stickers and from our staff, and read the Campus Protocol thoroughly.

Report any infections

We also ask you to notify your study adviser if you have coronavirus. Our students and staff form a close community, so it is important for everyone’s health and safety to know whether there are, or could be, corona clusters. We therefore ask you to inform us if you have tested positive. However, under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) this is always voluntary.

Remind others of the rules

If you see or talk to someone who is not following the guidelines, or hear a housemate say they have symptoms but are going to the University anyway, please remind them of the rules. We are calling on all our students to take responsibility for keeping our university safe and healthy, and thus help prevent the spread of coronavirus.
