Change the conditions for an exchange in semester 2 in 2021/2022

We

Students of the University of Amsterdam that want to go on an exchange in semester 2, 2021-2022

establish that:

The current conditions are too strict and therefore need to be adjusted for several reasons:

1. The colors of countries are everly changing; too fluctual to fully rely on.
2. The conditions for students going on exchange in semester 2 are different from the ones in semester 1; they are more strict and unfair now.
3. This decision with new conditions comes too late. Many of us already invested money and time.

and request

• to reconsider the current conditions.

• We would like to make the decision whether we can go on exchange or not ourselves.

• Furthermore the Repatriation during the exchange is not as easy as UvA makes it seem as students are not always able to do this.

• Lastly, these conditions are strict and not realistic in this day and age where we live in a pandemic and will be living in a pandemic. Please do not take away our chance to go on exchange.
