INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS
We would like to inform Vilnius University Senate adopted resolution No. SPN-15 “On the online learning of the 2019/2020 academic year spring semester at Vilnius University” by which all study activities (including study exams) will be carried out only remotely, regardless of the end of the temporary quarantine. Vilnius University will also review and update previously planned contact study activities, their study methods and assessment strategies, adapting them to study work remotely until the end of the semester.
Each tutor will organise the work according to how she/he sees fit. Each tutor will inform you about how his/her subject will be presented and how your independent work will be further organised.
