List of important platforms for students to stay abreast of announcements in faculties
2016-10-24

The university will re-start teaching and learning at undergraduate and honours level in the first week of November 2016. However, teaching and learning will not take place in the classrooms during November 2016, but through a different mode of delivery that consists of a combination of printed and recorded lectures, study materials, and learning aids that will be provided by the university and delivered through Blackboard and other platforms.
 
To assist students in getting their studies back on track, the Centre for Teaching and Learning compiled an Academic Reboot Pack. Included in the pack is a list with relevant hyperlinks to faculty-specific sites where staff from the different departments will communicate important information about students’ studies.
 
Please see extract from the Academic Reboot Pack – which was provided to students – containing important hyperlinks to the platforms in the different faculties where important information is communicated to students (if the hyperlinks do not work, copy the link and paste it into your browser).
