As regards the courses, the practical parts of which cannot be conducted and/or passed online, the lecturer can exceptionally arrange the practical part on the premises of the university in the period from 18 May to 10 June. Alternative options will be provided for those who are unable to attend the classes. Lecturers will inform the students about the classes.
