Letter to the Students - The Coming academic year

5 August, 2021

Dear Students,

In the coming academic year, teaching will take place for the most part in the classrooms (subject to the government regulations), integrating pre-recorded classes and other digital components. In general, remote participation in classes that are held in campus will not be available, except for specific courses that are marked as remote-learning.  In smart classrooms, lessons will be recorded and made available for watching after the class ends (with the teacher's consent).

As it seems now, and assuming there is no marked improvement in the status of the pandemic, as of October 10 2021, entrance onto university campuses will be limited to those who have a "green pass" (vaccinated or recovered). Entrance will also be granted to those who have tested negative to Covid (test taken within 72 hours of entering the campus) and to those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons, based on an approval from the Accessibility Unit. We will further update on our decision on these matters in the next few weeks.

We take these measures in order to maintain the health of the University community. We ask all of you to be vaccinated. The vaccine is safe and effective for lowering the spread of the virus.  According to current research, those who are not vaccinated can get infected and infect others with higher probability than those who are vaccinated.

We wish you a pleasant summer and good health.

Prof. Asher Cohen, President

Prof. Barak Medina, Rector
