  • Access and necessary documents

    Updated on 8 February 2021

    Can I access university buildings? And which documents should I bring?

    All university activities are accessible to students by appointment only.

    Face-to-face courses are indicated on CELCAT. It is possible to continue the face-to-face lessons after 6 pm - in this case a letter of attendance will be given to you by your teacher at the end of the course. Whenever possible, lessons are also available as distance learning, to allow students who have left Angers to follow their courses.

    For all other appointments, a formal notice will be sent to you to justify your travel.

    In order to limit groups as much as possible, we ask you not to arrive early, and to leave the university grounds immediately after courses.

    If restrictions on travel (curfew or lockdown) are decided by the government, students must bring the necessary documents with them to get to UA:

    • the notice of convocation sent by the university services
    • the exemption travel certificate duly completed by the student
    • an ID card

    Sandwich courses
    Students taking sandwich courses (part-time at university, part-time in a company) must bring the exemption travel certificate, a student card as well as a certificate from the employer (with clear indication of the study location) in order to follow courses on-campus.

  • Covid test

    Updated on 4 February 2021

    How can I get tested for Covid at UA

    As of 8 February 2021, the on-campus medical centre (SUMPSS) and the SSTU organise individual and collective covid testing campaigns on the Belle Beille campus, in close collaboration with the ARS des Pays de la Loire. The tests take place from 2pm to 4pm, and are reserved for students of UA and conventioned schools.

    You can make an appointment online through the Affluences platform, or directly with the Covid coordinator on 07 72 35 48 77 or at covid-sumpps@univ-angers.fr.

    Quick antigen tests are a new tool for breaking the chain of infection and reducing the risk of transmission. With a result within 15 to 30 minutes, they enable rapid implementation of contact tracing isolation measures. However, this type of test does not replace a diagnosis based on a PCR test, which is still carried out in test centres or medical laboratories.

    Individual testing:

    Eligible for antigen tests are:

    • people who are symptomatic, within 4 days or less after the onset of symptoms. It is during this period that the viral load increases the reliability of the test.
    • people who are asymptomatic when they have been in contact with someone who has been tested positive for covid, detected individually or within a cluster. The tests must be carried out within 24 hours if the person lives in the same household as the infected person. If the person who has been in contact with an infected person does not live with the infected person, the test must be carried out 7 days after the last contact with the infected person.

     

    Collective testing:

    In the event of suspicion of a cluster, or particularly active transmission of the virus, the University may organise collective test campaigns among targeted groups of the population.

    Carrying out the antigen test triggers the same process as an PCR test, i.e. while waiting for the results of the test, it is recommended to isolate oneself at home, and reduce outside contact and rigorously apply barrier gestures. You will be given a document on what to do depending on the test result. In the event of a positive result, you are required to declare yourself as covid positive in the "Tousanticovid" application, in order to alert and protect your family and friends.

  • Courses

    Updated on 8 February 2021

    How are courses organised?

    Lectures

    Lectures will mostly be organised as distance learning. As a general rule, no courses are organised for groups of more than 50 students, in rooms of at least double capacity. The total number of students present on the same site must not exceed 20% of the total capacity.

    TD (Tutorial classes)

    As of 25 January 2021, on-site tutorial classes are possible, especially for students on L1 level. Groups are always less than 50 students and classes take place in a room with at least double capacity. In order to limit the number of meals consumed on site, lessons are organised for half-day attendance at the most.
    Contact the Administration Officer (scolarité) at your faculty to find out how courses are organised at the faculty.

    TP (Practical work)

    Practical Work courses are authorised. They are organised in classrooms with at least double capacity, and at most per half day of attendance.

    Language labs

    Face-to-face language courses can be organised, limited to 50% of the capacity of the language laboratories and within the limit of 20% of the site's occupancy rate. Students use their own headphones and microphones whenever possible. If necessary, the equipment will be disinfected before and after use.

    Updated on 4 February 2021

    • tutoring and support for all levels
    • sports activities (masks required)
    • cultural activities organised by the UA Culture Department (masks required).

    The organisation of the reception areas, as well as the defined schedule, ensures that the maximum level of 20% occupancy of each site is respected.

  • Exams

    How are exams organised?

    All exams organised face-to-face are held in rooms, occupying only 50% of the room's capacity. Arrival and departure times are spread as much as possible on the same site. Disinfection facilities are provided for the supervisors and students, and the rooms are ventilated for a minimum of 15 minutes every 3 hours.

    For more information, please contact your Academic Coordinator.

    What should I do if I have the Covid and I cannot attend the exams?

    If you aretested positive for Covid19 or if you are a contact case at the time of your exams, you should not attend the exams. You should notify the Sumpps and your admissions department. A second session will be organised within a 14 days to 2 months.

    This second session does not involve Pluripass, nor the LAS health module exams, as these are classifying exams. Please contact the people in charge of this programme as soon as you discover your positive covid results.
