Especially now in times of the COVID-19 pandemic, our university of applied sciences seeks to offer you a safe environment for studying and learning. A new academic year has begun and we would like to inform you on the most important measures the St. Pölten UAS is taking as part of the traffic light system to protect everybody at campus.

While selected courses may be held at the UAS, we have also been increasingly implementing online formats within the framework of a mixed mode.

We aim to offer students and staff members the maximum safety. At the same time, we ensure that the students‘ study progress is not delayed and the quality of teaching remains at the usual high levels.

UAS Traffic Light System

Icon: Current UAS traffic light (orange)

The St. Pölten UAS' Traffic Light System is based on the current infection numbers among members of the St. Pölten UAS and on the recommendations of the Health Ministry and the Ministry of Science. Please observe the Rules of Conduct and Hygiene Measures, which are continuously updated according the current infection situation.

What does the orange traffic light mean?

• Reduction of on-site teaching
• Examinations with increased hygiene measures (social distancing, disinfection)
• Face masks in all areas
• 2-metre minimum distance
• Keeping time spent at the UAS to the required minimum
