On Wedneday 21 April, the first two supervised self-testing sites will open at AU. The sites are for the university’s students and staff only, and are intended as a supplement to the existing public test sites. Eight additional test sites will open at AU’s locations in the coming days.

The social study environment is suffering, and students are struggling to stay interested in academics. This is one of the major conclusions of last autumn's AU-wide study environment survey, which also indicates that the students are generally very satisfied with their degree programmes and the academic study environment at Aarhus University. However, these results should be interpreted in the light of the fact that students took the survey before the latest shutdown.

From the autumn semester 2021, Aarhus University will replace Blackboard with the new learning platform Brightspace. Students from a number of different degree programmes are currently participating in Brightspace test runs. In the autumn semester, all students at AU will have access to the new platform.

AU’s IT systems and other services will be subject to a certain amount of disruption at various points during the weekend of 6 and 7 February 2021.
