Q: I am a new degree student / exchange student and cannot come to Jyväskylä to study, what are my options?
A: We are already in a remote study mode because the coronavirus situation in Jyväskylä has deteriorated. You can study remotely from your home country. Our exchange students have that option as well.
Q: How can I start my studies remotely?
A: You will be provided the needed credentials and information by JAMK via email.
Q: I have already started my studies at JAMK last year and have an apartment in Jyväskylä. Can I continue my studies in Jyväskylä?
A: Yes, if you are from the European Union or have a valid residence permit, and you are allowed entry at the Finnish Border.
- Remember, that you need to follow JAMK’s guidelines in regards to staying home and refraining from human contact for a two week period after entering the country. There are also restrictions regarding public and social gatherings in Jyväskylä, that you need to be aware of.
- Please note that there may be extra expenses during the remainder of your exchange in Finland due to corona. These expenses may include corona testing, food or grocery deliveries during a possible quarantine, or even buying a flight ticket back home in case you have to return home earlier than planned.
- You can also continue your studies remotely from your home country.
Q: I am in Jyväskylä but I want to leave and continue my studies from my home country. Can I do that?
A: As long as the Finnish border is open, you have the right to leave. But if you are exposed to coronavirus or you are waiting for coronavirus test result, you have to stay in your apartment and wait for further instructions from health care authorities. If you have received a positive coronavirus test result, you are in official quarantine set by health care authorities and you cannot leave your apartment.
