The lecture period in the 2022 summer semester will initially begin in digital mode from 21 March. This decision was made in January in order to provide planning security despite the expected uncertainty due to changes in the Infection Protection Act. On 25 April 2022, Mittweida University of Applied Sciences will also return to on-campus teaching. The examination phase from 11 to 29 July is planned as a "presence examination phase", but the faculties can use the "emergency examination regulations".
According to the new federal Infection Protection Act, the possibility of enacting protective regulations at universities is dependent on the state parliament classifying the affected area as a hot spot and introducing, for example, mandatory masking and distance requirements. If this is the case for the district of Central Saxony, the following rules automatically apply without further notice.
The university management also calls for caution during the time when the area is not classified as a hot spot: Distance, FFP2 masks and regular ventilation will protect you, your colleagues and their families and friends. Regular testing helps to reduce the risk of illness and long covid. The testing centre on campus will therefore remain open.
