Currently, the whole society is obsessed and focused on the problem of the Covid-19 pandemic, which affected all economic and social branches, but also the educational process, so I was motivated to research more in this field, to find and pro-pose more solutions; or, to know more deeply such a problem. In the present paper, the theoretical-practical aspects of the changes in the higher education process as a result of the pandemic crisis were analyzed. In this context, we analyzed and researched seve-ral aspects of online education: what is online education, advantages, disadvantages, crisis situation, conclusions. The research methodology focuses on the use of several re-search methods such as: analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, scientific abstraction, comparative analysis, graphs, tables. In conclusion, we can mention that higher edu-cation in the Republic of Moldova has undergone major changes with the emergence of the pandemic crisis from the perspective of internet connection, providing gadgets to all educational actors, training teachers to work online, training students to connect at one of the educational platforms, online assessment, the results of which are not perma-nently a mirror of students' skills and performance, etc. The most acute problem or dilemma for the student world is the organization of practical classes, which we lack in the pandemic. Coming to university, inspiring the scientific air, being in the circle of the academic world, experimenting, confronting yourself, persuasively arguing, dres-sing according to university standards - this is the real life of a student.
