Shimane University’s Response during New Year Holidays
Relating to the Prevention of COVID-19 Infectious Spread

 

Over the past year, Shimane University has been working hard with the students to put initiatives in place so as to continue studies under these unprecedented conditions caused by COVID-19. However, the number of infected people continues to increase nationwide in Japan. During the coming New Year holidays, more people will travel and gather more frequently, which will increase the risk of infection for all students.

 

Therefore, the university will respond as follows for the period starting December 29, 2020, to January 17, 2021, focusing on infection prevention measures to ready the students for an important time in their studies after winter vacation, such as face-to-face classes, graduation papers/theses and examinations.

 

【Change in Classes after Winter Vacation】

All classes after winter vacation starting from January 6 to 14 will be conducted online. Please follow the instructions given by teachers via CampusSquare or Moodle, etc. for face-to-face classes, which are to be shifted online.
