Universities and universities of applied sciences may decide for themselves whether to continue lectures and exams during the public transport strike on Tuesday. However, Minister Ingrid van Engelshoven expects \u2018some leniency\u2019 from institutions when students are really unable to attend lectures or exams.<\/p>\n

Academic activities and exams will continue as usual at Erasmus University, spokesperson Jacco Neleman confirms. \u00a0\u201cEleven exams are taking place today, including four at Erasmus University College,\u201d says Neleman. He doesn\u2019t expect the strike to majorly inconvenience students doing exams. \u201cIn total, around 650 students are involved, most of whom live in Rotterdam.\u201d<\/p>\n

Enough time<\/h2>

The university does not expect any problems due to the timetabling of the exams. \u201cThe exams are all in the afternoon or evening,\u201d explains Neleman. \u201cIn theory, the students should have enough time to get to the campus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Normally students are allowed to arrive fifteen minutes late for exams, but for today, the maximum time has been extended to 45 minutes. \u201cIf there are any further problems, then it\u2019s up to the professor or the faculty to resolve them,\u201d says Neleman.<\/p>\n
