Due to the election being held on Wednesday, 22 April 2009, this day is a public holiday. There will therefore be no official university activities on this day.
The two graduation ceremonies that were scheduled for this day have been rescheduled for
Monday, 20 April 2009. They are respectively the graduation ceremony of the Faculty of Education (8:30) and the graduation ceremony of the Faculty of the Humanities at 14:30.
These two ceremonies as well as all the others that have been scheduled for April will be held on the South Campus (the former Vista Campus) because the Callie Human Centre is not available.
