Why/What âIncreasingly our students are facing restrictions outside of their control on their ability to travel on
account of the Coronavirus situation. If our students are to be able to progress toward graduation
within the timeframe of the normal academic calendar, we need to take some exceptional
measures including the recording of all lectures with immediate effect.â

Deputy Dean (Degree Education)
Key information:
⢠All students in the class will be able to access all lecture recordings for that specific

be deleted, unless the faculty wishes to retain them.
