Coronavirus policies for the Jyväskylä campus from 28 April

On 26 April, Central Finland and Jyväskylä moved to the basic level of the pandemic. Because almost all university’s buildings are used for entrance examinations in the spring, it is not possible to increase contact teaching on the campus. The university will organise only necessary contact teaching by following safety precautions.

The participant limitation in public examinations of doctoral dissertations will remain in 20. For the post-doctoral celebration, the limitation increases to 20. For outdoor events, the recommendations and restrictions of the Regional State Administrative Agency and the municipality must be observed. Subject associations and hobby groups may start operations from 1 May. In this case, regional and local gathering limitations must be followed (currently 20 persons).

Gyms will remain available only for teaching purposes. More information on Academic Sports’ summer programme is available .

Research activities will continue within the limits of research permits granted earlier. New research permits will follow the earlier approval practices. The vice rector responsible for research and innovations will make decisions on research activities that involve test subjects from outside the university.

To continue operations on the campus, everyone should still follow the recommendations of health authorities. The most important safety actions are face masks, safe distances and hygiene.

Policies for starting the academic year 2021–2022 will be made on 18 May 2021.
