3. Class Arrangements
- If students are unable to return to the University due to restrictions on entry to Macao or any other pandemic prevention policies, they may apply for online learning at your respective faculty. All classrooms are equipped with devices to enable synchronized online connection, thus, an integrated online and classroom teaching method will be implemented in the new semester.
- According to the guidelines of Macao Health Bureau, the University has to arrange the class time and the classroom in order to avoid the gathering of large crowds at a certain period of time. Therefore, the University will adapt a daily schedule of four time slots: 9:00-12:00, 12:15-15:15, 15:30-18:30, and 19:00-22:00 (A few classes may vary, please refer to the finalized class schedule).
- In order to meet the requirements of pandemic prevention, all three campuses will be applied for class arrangements. Meanwhile, the University will arrange two adjacent classrooms for the same class, and thus teachers will use two classrooms for teaching at a time.
- For the finalized class schedule including online class arrangements, please refer to the University website and the announcements from your respective faculties.
The university will pay close attention to the pandemic situation and any updated prevention measures. Should there be any adjustments, they will be announced on the official websites, TronClass or other platforms.
Students are advised to pay close attention to the entry and exit policies released by the Immigration Departments and the pandemic prevention policies of the Health Departments in both Macao and Zhuhai. Please make better arrangements for your entry and exit, housing, pandemic prevention, COVID-19 nucleic acid test, and attending classes as required.
