NMU to extend academic year, start 2021 classes in March

Since mid-March 2020, the university has been devising plans about various scenarios to counter the affect of the Covid-19 pandemic, ensure the overall safety of students and staff, and provide learning opportunities to every student enrolled for the 2020 academic year.

Nelson Mandela University registrar Edgar de Koker said the calendar had been adjusted based on the institution’s blended-learning approach. “This revised academic calendar must be taken as a broad framework for faculties and academic departments to work within.” Experiential learning, lab and studio work, and clinical training will involve some contact in venues that are Covid-19 compliant and in an environment that requires everyone to wear face masks and practise physical distancing and health hygiene behaviours, the university said.
