The COVID-19 measures have been further eased. What does this mean for us? We can use the UM food services again and gather with four people in and around our buildings. The number of spectators allowed at academic sessions has been increased. Teams of employees are allowed to follow group trainings, study and student associations can expand their activities and more is possible at UM SPORT.
UM food service areas open From 7 June, you can use the seating areas at the food service locations in the UM buildings. This can only be done within the rules that apply to the hospitality industry. That means a maximum of four people at a table and a maximum of 50 people in a room, excluding the food service staff. At the tables, the chairs must be 1.5 meters away from each other. You are not allowed to move tables and chairs. If all the seats are occupied, this means the maximum number of visitors allowed has been reached. If you can’t find a seat, you have to leave the area.
Four people in and around UM buildings In and around the UM buildings you can gather in a group of up to four persons as long as you are at least 1.5 meters away from each other.
Up to 30 spectators at PhD defences and inaugural events As of 7 June, a maximum of 30 spectators may be present in the UM auditorium at an on-site PhD defence or inaugural ceremony. The number of spectators is set at 30 people due to the size of the auditorium and to avoid crowding in the building. Not included in the 30 people are the PhD candidate, their paranymphs, the beadle, prorector, supervisor(s)/co-supervisor(s), secretary and opponents.
Graduation ceremonies Graduation ceremonies are permitted on campus again as long as the relevant measures are adhered to. That means no more than 50 people with assigned seats at least 1.5 meters away from each other are allowed.
Employee gatherings for training and development Working from home remains the norm for the time being if you don't have a specific reason to come to work. However, from now on employee teams (maximum 50 people) can meet on campus for training and development activities.
Study and student association activities Study and student associations may organise activities with no more than 50 people and only with assigned seats at least 1.5 meters away from each other. The associations’ food/drink locations may be opened within the rules that apply to the hospitality industry. After receiving permission from their respective faculties, study associations can offer in-person activities as an alternative form of on-campus education (only one day a week per student). These activities also have a maximum of 50 people, and a minimum distance of 1.5 meters from each other must be maintained.
UM SPORT It is again possible to participate in live group lessons and game sports at the University Sports Centre (USC). These include activities such as yoga, Zumba, spinning, HIIT, badminton, basketball, volleyball and indoor football. The student sports associations of these sports – including the UM Cheerleaders – are also allowed to practice in the USC and the special senior lessons have started again as well. In addition to the indoor sports options, a number of sports activities will remain online or outside for the time being. Lockers, showers and changing rooms are still closed.
UM SPORT memberships have been adapted to the current availability and can still be purchased for this academic year. For more information, please contact umsports@maastrichtuniversity.nl
