Teaching & learning in Semester 2

As of the commencement of Semester 2 2022, Flinders is opting to return to pre-COVID room capacity guidelines. Wherever possible learning activities will continue to be offered with online options to accommodate those students who are unable to attend in person.

Note that some staff and students will remain under SA Health guidelines pertaining to health care, aged care, or other high-risk environments.

If you have a student that tests positive and has been on campus in the proceeding 48 hours, please advise the WHS Unit (whs@flinders.edu.au).

Face masks continue to be required in a range of high risk settings including health care, disability care and aged care.

Events & activities

Events and activities are welcome to once again be held on campus and we encourage those planning events to exercise best judgement and consider holding events outdoors or in large spaces with good ventilation.

We will continue to have hand sanitiser available where needed.

Those planning events need to remind participants to not attend if unwell or if they are COVID-19 positive or a close contact.
