Academic Year 2020-2021

Academic year 21-22 - big

During the past academic year, the Hebrew University has adapted creative hybrid learning scenarios. which included small group settings, classrooms large enough to allow physical distancing between students, virtual study tours, and a flexible balance between on-campus and online learning. This allowed students to receive an in-person experience at the Hebrew University, despite all challenges.

Assuming there is no marked improvement in the status of the pandemic, as of October 2021, entrance onto university campuses will be limited to those who have a "green pass" (vaccinated or recovered). Entrance will also be granted to those who have tested negative to Covid (test taken within 72 hours of entering the campus) and to those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons, based on an approval from the Accessibility Unit.

All on-campus activities will scrupulously comply to Ministry of Health guidelines, including submitting health declarations when entering the campus (using a special app) and wearing face masks.

Since most of our students and population are vaccinated, and subject to the government regulations, teaching will take place for the most part in classrooms, 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 or cases in which students are not able to study on campus for health reasons and they will receive an exemption from the obligation to attend the course physically on campus (belonging to a risk group, or in the event of required quarantine).
In smart classrooms, lessons will be recorded and made available for watching after the class ends (with the teacher's consent). , As long as the Ministry of Health’s guidelines require us to do so, we will continue to offer virtual programs, which include synchronous and asynchronous components to accommodate students in Jerusalem and around the globe. 

 

Maintaining healthy and safe campuses

 

All measures are being taken to ensure that all six Hebrew University campuses remain safe and clean, issuing restrictions meant to reduce the risk of coronavirus infection. These include:

  •  Keeping a distance of 2 meters (6 ft.) between people at all times
  •  Frequent cleaning and sanitizing of the work environment. Sanitation stations and hand sanitizer dispensers are spread out all over the campuses and in the offices used by students and faculty.
  •  Additional guidelines are posted at the entrance to every facility and in accordance to government regulations.
