ACADEMIC CALENDAR MINORS 25-26

*Special arrangement UROS courses :

From 23 February, teaching materials will be uploaded to the EU-CONEXUS Moodle for autonomous work. Students will have 1 session per week for consultations and tutoring related to the proposed teaching material. From 16 March to 22 May, the students will have the synchronous sessions with the teacher, including the six obligatory sessions. The student workload corresponding to 6 ECTS for each course will be guaranteed. Exams will take place during the exam periods agreed in the joint academic calendar.

**Fast grade communication for LRU students:

It is very important for LRU to receive the grades within this deadline.

If, according to the unified calendar, the lecture period is shorter than it is at the local institution, as a rule, the student workload, corresponding to 6 ECTS for each course, shall be maintained. It is recommended that sessions do not last more than 2 consecutive hours. 

In the event of local public holidays and/or professors’ holidays coinciding with the calendar of synchronous classes, the students shall be informed in advance. The professors may provide the teaching materials for the corresponding topic in an asynchronous way to avoid delays or gaps in the delivery of the content of the course.
