ON CAMPUS / ONLINE LECTURES

The autumn semester 2020 will take place as far as possible on the campuses. USI has adopted the principle of guaranteeing social distance in every classroom and reorganised the spaces and schedules. Courses will take place in mixed mode: in attendance and online.

Your course schedule shows when and where the front teachings on campus are held. Teachings shown on the schedule as online are the synchronous teachings (with the teacher live connected). All other teaching activities will be asynchronous.

The material will be available on www.icorsi.ch at the beginning of the weeks when lectures are not on campus.

All courses will start and finish with campus presence.
