How the lessons work
How the university libraries and study rooms work
BU: access by reservation
After a temporary closure to reorganize their reception conditions, the UM university libraries will reopen on Thursday, November 5, 2020, under certain conditions:
- ⚠️ Access to university libraries is limited to borrowing/returning documents and equipment and individual work on site. Access to group study rooms is therefore temporarily suspended.
- ⚠️ Access is by appointment only: users must therefore reserve a loan/return slot or a workstation, either via Affluences or by email, depending on the university library concerned.
⚡ For reservations by email, please indicate the reason for your visit: borrowing/returning documents or working on site. Please note: written confirmation of your appointment (sent by email) is required to enter the library. This will serve as proof of your reason for visiting, along with your student card and the travel exemption certificate (available byclicking HERE).
⚠️ A quota of places for individual work on site is reserved for D4 students preparing for their ECNi exams and for PASS/PACES students. ⚠️
The lockdown has led to the suspension of extended opening hours in the evenings and at weekends. However, all services are available within the university libraries, in compliance with health measures and protective measures and equipment: access to documents, use of freely accessible computers, printing/photocopying/scanning, Wi-Fi, interlibrary loans, undifferentiated borrowing and returns, etc. Librarians are available to answer questions online: boomerang.biu-montpellier.fr
Workrooms
⚡ More information on how workrooms will operate during lockdown will be added to this article shortly.
How thesis defenses work
The thesis defense process will be impacted: only the candidate will be allowed to defend their thesis on site, in the presence of the jury, in the traditional Salle des Actes of the Historic Building. A personalized exemption certificate will be provided to the candidate.
📧 More information will be provided at a later date by email to the interns concerned.
How internships work
Semiology courses are suspended until further notice in Montpellier and Nîmes.
The DFASM1, 2, and 3 internships are continuing, and the hospital students involved are continuing their training in full within the hospital departments.
For all students who may come into contact with patients carrying SARS-CoV-2, it is important to note that strict adherence to protective measures during their internships is an effective guarantee of protection against the risk of infection.
The continuation of the health service is currently under discussion and approval by the Board of Education. More information will be available soon.

The interregional ECN exams (DFASM3) will still take place on November 20, 2020, and will be conducted remotely. The exam schedule and organizational details will be communicated by email.
