Instructions for foreign students

Dear Students,

the University of Catania is going to implement new policies in response to COVID-19 and in application of the indication of the Italian Government. In order to help mitigate the growing risk of transmission, we will begin instituting a series of policies and practices based on the concept of social distancing.  Our goal is to decrease the number of instances that require community members to gather in large groups or spend extended periods of time in close proximity with each other.  To achieve this goal, we will virtualize lessons, exams, final Degree Ceremony, meeting with professors.  These measures are being taken to help ensure the health and well-being of our students, faculty, and staff, and to decrease any potential impacts on the larger community.   

As far as the final and graduation exams are concerned, we will be transitioning to virtual instruction and you’ll be informed as soon as possible. This transition is already completed for lessons and  our virtual classes will start according the lectures schedule (http://www.dsps.unict.it/sites/default/files/files/lezioni%20glopem%2019-20%202%20ciclo%20englishy(1).pdf). Please, check regularly if some change in the schedule will be annouced. In order to access the on line classes you are requested to follow the following instructions:
