D’acord amb la Resolució SLT/275/2021, de 5 de febrer, per la qual es prorroguen i es modifiquen les mesures en matèria de salut pública per a la contenció del brot epidèmic de la pandèmia de COVID-19 al territori de Catalunya, el 9 de febrer de 2021 el rector de la Universitat de Barcelona, havent consultat els degans i deganes de les facultats i el Consell de l’Alumnat, va resoldre que la docència teòrica del segon semestre del curs 2020-2021 ha de ser parcialment presencial per als estudiants de primer curs. La resta de la docència s’ha de continuar impartint virtualment.
Les resolucions dictades des de l’inici del curs 2020-2021 en relació amb la crisi sanitària podrien obligar a adaptar la planificació de la docència i, en conseqüència, també a modificar alguns apartats dels plans docents. La descripció d’aquests canvis es recull en addendes al final dels plans docents originals.
