Guidelines for follow-up in the event of death

The guidelines shall also be followed in emergency situations. HR will be able to assist with adjustments that are needed in a situation where unfortunately we cannot gather physically. Please contact your local HR manager for assistance. The university must always ensure that reported deaths are confirmed with the police before we go public with information to fellow students and staff.
