FAQ RUFA – CORONAVIRUS

The closure of the schools is the exclusive responsibility of the Regions and Local Authorities: it involves the prohibition of access to the premises for all staff and students. Absences do not have to be justified, do not involve financial reduction or requests for recovery.
The suspension of teaching activities entails the interruption of lessons only: the schools remain open and the services provided by the secretarial offices continue to be provided

Absences during periods of forced suspension of teaching activities will not be counted towards the validity of the academic year. It is however valid, even if the minimum of 200 days is not reached, as it would be a situation due to force majeure.
According to the provisions of the Decree of the President of the Council of Ministers of 8 March 2020, for the duration of the suspension, the Executives shall activate distance teaching methods, with particular attention to the specific needs of students with disabilities.
The Ministry of University and Research, from this point of view, has integrated the offer of tools, communities, chats and virtual classes with a platform entirely dedicated to distance learning, to ensure that all schools that request them can have free tools and means guaranteeing the right to study for all.

RUFA offices will be closed until 3 April 2020. All offices will continue to serve remotely, including the student secretariat which can be contacted by email. The guidance and counselling service will also take place online. The library, workshops, student classrooms, catering service and relaxation areas will remain closed as long as this legal requirement remains in force.

A number of measures are being considered to address these needs as well. It is worth pointing out, in fact, that the Academy has revolutionized teaching methods, in the awareness that some lessons are more focused on practice and less on theory. The current situation is to be considered exceptional and temporary: RUFA will therefore soon return to being the School of Doing. But every action is anticipated by thought, so, at least at this stage, even the practical concepts could be verbalized, changing if necessary the programs and the way of learning structured so far.

No. Internship activities at external host companies/entities are temporarily suspended in order to prevent any form of contagion.
