Aarhus University organises all activities in accordance with applicable public health guidelines and recommendations, as well as instructions from the Ministry of Higher Education and Science.
The university’s guidelines apply primarily to staff and students. They also apply to guests and other persons affiliated with Aarhus University.
There are still limits on access to Aarhus University premises.
Working from home
From mid-January, staff may begin gradually increasing the amount of time they work on campus. According to plan, working conditions for state-sector institutions, including the universities, should be completely normalised by 21 February.
This gradual return to normal working conditions will be organised and dealt with at the local level on the background of an assessment of what is possible and sensible. Research, educational and consultancy activities and administrative support functions may be carried out on campus if in-person participation is important for the performance of the tasks in question.
For more information about the guidelines that will apply to your unit, contact your immediate supervisor.
Classes and exams
Many exams – oral as well as written – will be held online. There will be some in-person exams; in some cases, holding exams online may be inappropriate or impracticable. Through the end of January, teaching will take place in assigned teams or groups.

Employees in an at-risk group should discuss their situation with their immediate supervisor, who will make a concrete assessment of what steps should be taken.
