Dear Students,
The Office of the President of Bahçeşehir University has issued an important announcement on the new measures taken due to the pandemic. You can access the announcement via the link below.
Subject to the work of the Scientific Advisory Board on the pandemic and to any statements and guidance from the Council of Higher Education (YÖK), the following decisions have been taken for the period between 18 November 2020 and 31 December 2020:
• Until 31 December 2020, all teaching activities, student events, student club activities, conferences, panels and meetings have been moved online.
• All practical courses and laboratory work that started in hybrid format will continue online until 31 December 2020.
• As previously announced, all exams will be held online.
• All our campuses will remain open. In line with the Presidential decision, students under the age of 20 may use our university's physical facilities between 13:00 and 16:00 by declaring their HES code. Students outside this age group may use the campuses throughout the day.
• BAU Barbaros Library will continue to serve, open only to Bahçeşehir University students.
• All cafeterias and restaurants on campus will suspend their services until 31 December 2020.
• You will be informed about the period after 31 December 2020 in line with the assessments of the Scientific Advisory Board and YÖK.
As the Faculty of Health Sciences, we are continuing all our efforts at full speed so that you are affected by the pandemic as little as possible and can continue your education. Your health comes before everything else for us. Please follow the announced rules fully. Do not go out unless necessary. Never say, "Nothing will happen to me!" If there is any change in your health, please inform us as soon as possible. You can be sure that our university will stand by you with all its resources. What we are going through will one day return to normal. Throughout history, humankind has overcome many hardships, and it will overcome this one too. We are hearing good news about vaccine studies, and I sincerely believe these efforts will have a positive outcome. Never give in to despair or anxiety.
As I have told you several times before, you can turn some things that seem like disadvantages into advantages. Do the tasks and hobbies you have not had the chance to do at home before. Do not forget to exercise for at least 30 minutes every day. Keep listening to music.
All staff of the Faculty of Health Sciences will keep working tirelessly so that we do not compromise on the quality of our education. As the entire faculty, we will be in contact with you 24/7 through our university's online platforms (itslearning, MS Teams, etc.). Please be sure to convey all your problems and requests to us through your academic advisors.
We will get back to you as soon as possible. If you find yourself in serious difficulty or in an emergency, you can also call me directly on my personal phone number 05322739070.
We care about you very much. I wish you and your dear families good health.
Prof. Dr. Fatma Eti ASLAN
Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences
