PROBLEMS AND LABORATORIAL CLASSES SHIFTS
Here, are the Management Board information, sent by e-mail to all students, by the Vice-President for the Academic Affairs:
- The practical and laboratory shifts are organized in A and B, except for those that were not divided at the request of the faculty, namely because their operation will follow particular rules.
- Shifts A, with students with an odd number, attend in person in odd weeks. Shifts B, with students with an even number, attend in person in even weeks. This information is present in Fénix.
- Like what has happened in previous years, there are shifts, divided or not into A and B in Fénix, whose attendance is managed by faculty. It is therefore normal that they cannot be chosen. Attendance to these shifts will be then determined and managed by the faculty, but the rationale of the division between A and B should still be observed.
Management Board received numerous requests from students who intend to change shifts from A to B, or vice versa, and although some of the arguments are understood, they inform that there will be no exceptions given that any exchanges would have to be transversal, and might not be consistent with the current academic organization by each curricular unit, namely when shifts are organized by faculty.
Students in risk situations Statute
There are two new student statutes in Fénix:
- Online Presence – Authorized
- Online Presence – Authorized – International Student
Students in risk situation duly proven through medical declaration, or international students who are unable to travel to Portugal, may request one of these statutes, which allow students to participate 100% remotely in teaching activities, by sending the request to the Graduation Area (graduacao@tecnico.ulisboa.pt).
Students with one of these statuses are or will be identified in Fénix as such. It is important to bear in mind that the statute can be updated dynamically throughout the semester.
