Dear faculty members,
Congratulations on the opening of the 2021/2022 academic year. This update deals entirely with teaching matters.
Dear members of the Hebrew University community,
All of us, the University’s staff and students, are continuing to prepare for the start of the 2021/2022 academic year. Thank you all for acting responsibly. This is an update regarding the need to receive the COVID-19 booster dose (the third COVID-19 vaccine shot).
Dear colleagues,
I'm happy to provide a brief update, which includes mostly good news, a little consolation during these calamitous days.
Dear Hebrew University Students,
According to the government's decision, published today, as of Wednesday, August 18, 2021, entry to the campus for all purposes, including for taking an exam, is permitted only to "Green Pass" holders or by presenting a negative Covid-19 test conducted in the 24 hours before entry. Those who for medical reasons cannot be vaccinated may also enter, by showing a medical certificate.
For assistance, please contact the department secretariat.
Good health and enjoyable summer.
Yours,
Barak Medina, Rector
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).

Dear Colleagues,
This update includes, among other things, data on student satisfaction with teaching, the success of faculty members in securing research grants from the Israel Science Foundation, and an update on our intention to change the way credits are calculated for university courses.
