Technion Update

Shalom,

Our thoughts and prayers are with our soldiers in the north and the south. We all hope for their safe return.

After assessing the situation in the afternoon and in compliance with evolving guidelines from the Home Front Command, the Technion administration has decided on the following course of action:

• As the Home Front Command guidelines remain unchanged today, the Technion management has decided that activities will proceed tomorrow, Wednesday, November 1, 2023, at the campuses in Haifa, following the same guidelines as today.
• The Technion published today an updated outline for rent payment in the dorms. This update aims to make things easier for dormitory residents, and in particular those who have been called up for reserve service. The update includes a full waiver for November rent to students called up for reserve service and their partners. Additionally, Students who have confirmed their residency status by 26.10.23, and do not currently live in the dorms, can return their room/apartment key, evacuate their residence, and will not be charged for November. The empty rooms/apartments will serve for housing families evacuated from the North or South of Israel. Students’ entitlement to the dorms will be kept until the beginning of the academic year. For full benefits list, see >> https://dean.technion.ac.il/en/
• Since the beginning of the war, the Technion is prepared for any emergency, and we stand ready for any changes in the guidelines of the Home Front Command. We ask again: please ensure you are prepared for emergencies and are updated for the relevant procedures. Make sure you know the location of shelters nearest to your office and your home. Please do not contend yourselves with looking through the list, but visit the relevant locations. For a list of the safe rooms and shelters on campus, click here >> https://bit.ly/46HtZmi.

Have a good evening.
