As a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in our Autonomous Community, the Andalusian universities, in line with the directives of the Autonomous Government of Andalusia, hereby communicate the suspension of all on-site teaching activities (both theoretical and practical) with effect from Monday, 16 March, until 30 March. On that date, the situation will be reviewed.
By extension, the follow activities will also be temporarily suspended:
- Courses and activities scheduled to be held on university premises.
- Cultural activities.
- Curricular and extra-curricularÌýactivities conducted in university facilities. ThoseÌýcurricular and extra-curricularÌýactivitiesÌýconducted beyond university facilities may still take place, depending on the external entity concerned.
- Field trips.
- The fulfilment of work assignments requiring travel beyond the university,Ìýincluding Examination Committees forÌýoposiciones, participation in competitive selection processes and participation in doctoral thesis defences.
Temporary closure will also be applied to libraries, study rooms and sports facilities.
The refectory, café and photocopying service will remain open, providing their continued operation fully adheres to the preventative measures recommended by the relevant Health Authorities.
University Academic and Research StaffÌý(PDI)Ìýand Administrative and Support StaffÌý(PAS)Ìýwill continue to provide a normal service with the exception of face-to-face on-site teaching activities.
PDIÌýare required to fulfil their teaching obligations and to seek alternative means to deliver their teaching input by remote means.
PASÌýare reminded that the closure to the public of sites or facilities from which they ordinarily deliver their services does not mean that those services are suspended.
Under these highly exceptional circumstances,Ìýthe Rectors of Andalusian Public Universities call on the entire university community in Andalusia to display the utmost responsibility and commitment to rigorously following the guidelines provided by the Health Authorities.

The University of Granada’s Monitoring and Coordinating Committee responsible for tracking the current epidemiological situationÌýis currently working on the detail of the measures being adopted and the specific instructions relevant to different members of the university community, which will be issued shortly.
In the meantime, the Committee will continue to analyse this situation and update the university community accordingly via theÌýinstitutional website,Ìýwhich remains the primary communication channel for all decisions taken by this Committee.
It is essential that the general public, and the university community in particular, follow the official guidelines provided by the Health Authorities and pay attention exclusively to information from official sources.
