You will be informed on an ongoing basis via your AU email and Blackboard. You can also find current information for students at Aarhus BSS on this page. In AU’s FAQ and chat for students, you can find information that applies to all AU students.

You can contact Student Services by email and they can help you with transcripts of your grades and other documentation. Please write to: studentservices.bss@au.dk

Remember that we are currently working under exceptional circumstances so please be patient and expect longer response times than normal.

During this period, Aarhus BSS will offer students alternative teaching formats. In your course forum on Blackboard, your lecturer will keep you informed on the alternative teaching formats of your individual courses in the weeks to come. We have never before worked with digital teaching formats on such a large scale. Therefore, we ask for your patience in case not everything is working optimally.

If you are registered for an oral defence/exam in relation to your Bachelor’s project or Master’s thesis in the near future, you may choose between getting a grade based on your written assignment or participating in an oral defence. During AU’s physical lockdown, the oral exams will be conducted via Skype.

We expect that students who are planning to study abroad in autumn 2020, can carry through their stay as planned. However, the situation changes all the time, and AU encourages everyone to stay updated on the travel advice of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark (www.um.dk) and to consult the travel advisories issued by the authorities in the country you’re planning to travel to. If it becomes impossible for students to study abroad at their chosen destination, they may stay at home and complete the semester at AU instead. It won’t be possible to get an alternative exchange agreement instead. This is both because a lot of students may end up being affected, and because it is not possible to predict whether an alternative destination will be affected by the coronavirus as well. Please contact your international coordinator to find out more.

As we are expecting that you will be able to study abroad, you do not need to register for courses in the upcoming registration period from 1 to 5 May.

As a student at Aarhus BSS, you will receive an Aarhus BSS Travel Grant regardless of whether you interrupt your stay or transfer less than the required ECTS credits. You do not need to submit documentation for your travel expenses, etc. to receive the grant. Students who are eligible for the Aarhus BSS Travel Grant will receive further information via email.

If you need to apply for the Aarhus BSS Travel Grant after studying abroad, please note that the 1 May application deadline has been extended to 1 June with an additional deadline on 1 September.
