The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented sanitary crisis that forcefully hampers the normal workings of countries, in order to stop the propagation and the virus and to care of the health and life of people. In Education, it produced the immediate suspensión of in-person activities, and in the middle of the cirsis the authorities implemented emergency measures to continue providing services to the students. Due to this, this study aims to analyze how university governments have faced this challenge, exploting the opportunities of the digital era, and adapting their administrative and academic processes to ensure the delivery of quality education to the students. We study the particular case of the Universidad de Valparaíso – Chile, by inquiring about the perception of the community regarding the measures and management actions taken by the University.
