Updated measures at AUC
Last updated: 22 August 2022
As the effects of booster shots, vaccinations and acquired immunity reduce hospitalisations in the Netherlands, the Dutch government has taken major steps in relaxing many of the coronavirus measures in place. As of 23 March 2022, nearly all measures have been lifted and only basic advice applies.
Adjusting to education as restrictions ease
As we adjust to education amid easing restrictions, it remains important for us to keep showing consideration and understanding for each other. We also kindly ask that you keep the following in mind:
- If you have COVID symptoms, please stay home and get tested.
- Follow the rules regarding self-quarantining.
- Continue to follow the basic advice for everyone.
Current AUC students should continue to check their email and monitor announcements on the Student Information Canvas environment for more information and relevant updates.

What to do if you test positive for COVID-19
If you test positive for COVID-19, please follow the official medical advice that is given to you by your doctors or medical staff. Continue self-isolating and inform your close contacts that they need to self-quarantine in case you have infected them. Follow the advice of the GGD or your doctors with regard to when you can end your self-isolation once you have recovered.
If you are too sick to participate in educational activities for any reason (including common things such as nausea or stomach bugs), please report this to your tutor and your teachers. You can read more information about the attendance policy in the Academic Standards & Procedures, Section 4.
