First semester classes a.y. 2020-2021

The new Academic Year has started and the University of Catania will implement new policies in response to COVID-19, applying the indications of the Italian Government.

In order to mitigate the growing risk of transmission, mixed teaching methods will be implemented for GLOPEM courses reopening for the first semester 2020/21. For the whole first semester, classes will be taught in blended mode, simultaneously both in person and online. The timetable is available here (see the link).

In order to guarantee the maximum security for face-to-face activities as well as a regular rotation of students in presence, the University of Catania has finalized a system to allow the reservation of seats. Reserving a seat may be easily done by accessing  the service “Prenotazione lezioni in aula” using your university credentials, on the students' portal (https://studenti.smartedu.unict.it/WorkFlow2011/Logon/Logon.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2f)

Reservation is available from Monday to Wednesday of the week before the lecture date, (example: from Monday 5th October to Wednesday 7th October for the lessons from 12nd to 17th October, and so on..). The reservation system automatically reserves seats until the number of available seats is reached, and it sends an e-mail for confirmation. Students who cannot find a free place will be invited to reserve a  priority seat for the following week. More detailes on the reservation system here (see the link).

Students who cannot find a free place in a face-to-face lecture, or who cannot move from home due to the sanitary emergency, may easily access the lecture in online mode. Online lessons will be held on the TEAMS Platform. Each course has a virtual classroom identified by a code.
Please, check regularly to see if some change in the schedule has been announced.
