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.

    Information relative to a death may be sent by email, but sensitive information – such as the cause of death - should be provided otherwise.

    The university must always ensure that reported deaths are confirmed with the police before we go public with information to fellow students and staff.

    It is the faculty director / department director's responsibility to ensure that this is done. If in doubt - contact the student priest for assistance.

    It is the responsibility of the faculty director / department director to ensure that this is done.

    • The identity of the deceased must never be provided to external inquirers.
