1 January 2021, with the possibility of prolongment until the end of the academic year, should the temporary regulation remain effective for longer than stipulated:
- Mandatory attendance in subjects remains the norm. If students cannot meet the minimum attendance requirements due to symptoms of corona, the subject coordinator/ subject teacher shall facilitate in such a way so that the student, through alternative forms of tuition and/or academic requirements can achieve learning objectives and be assessed in the relevant subject.
The student committee encourages teachers to facilitate tuition so that mandatory attendance can be met either through physical presence or through a digital alternative.
In those subjects where alternative academic requirements and/or alternative assessment can be expected to become necessary, the subject teacher shall by the 1st October 2020, have outlined these in such a way that the students understand what is expected of them in order to complete the subject. Alternative academic requirements and/or forms of assessment must be reported through the head of the department to the administration.
- For students of the Bachelor of Music in Music Education and Master of Music Therapy programmes who have practical experience as part of their education, all infection control restrictions must be adhered to, even if this results in absence. The supervisor, coordinator and hosting institution should discuss ways of allowing the student to complete practicals in a responsible way.
- For subjects with external concerts as mandatory academic requirements, the solution may be to have the concerts on school premises in those cases where external venues are not possible. The concerts may also be closed performances that are digitally recorded. In these cases, students themselves are responsible for documentation/recording.
- In subjects assessed through written school examinations, the examinations shall be changed to digital home exams.
The Academic Affairs Committee encourages all academic and professional personnel to cooperate in finding methods of tuition and forms of assessment/examination that are suited to this situation.
