[:lt]Studijų organizavimas 2021–2022 m. m. rudens semestre:

• 2021–2022 m. m. rudens semestre studijos Panevėžio kolegijoje vykdomos mišriuoju būdu (t. y. tiesioginio kontakto ir nuotoliniu būdu).
• Kontaktiniame studijų procese gali dalyvauti tik galimybių pasą ar jam prilygstantį dokumentą turintys Kolegijos studentai.
• Studentams, negalintiems dalyvauti kontaktiniuose akademiniuose užsiėmimuose, iki šių metų spalio 4 d. studijos bus vykdomos, taikant hibridinį modelį: kai dalis studentų mokosi tiesioginio kontakto būdu Kolegijos patalpose, o kita dalis ( y. studentai negalintys dalyvauti kontaktiniuose akademiniuose užsiėmimuose) dalyvauja užsiėmime sinchroniniu nuotoliniu būdu. Taikant hibridinį modelį, dėstytojas neprivalės užtikrinti nuotoliniu būdu akademinio užsiėmimo klausančio studento visapusiško įtraukimo į studijų procesą.
• Nedalyvavimas akademiniuose užsiėmimuose dėl galimybių paso ar jam prilygstančio dokumento neturėjimo nebus laikomas pateisinama priežastimi neatlikti studijų procese numatytų užduočių.
