From 5th March 2021 onwards, the Control Movement Control Order (CMCO) will be replacing Movement Control Order (MCO) for the state of Johor. We have decided to resume the physical operation of Raffles University City Campus from 8th March 2021 onwards.

- All classes and examinations in this semester remains online, except for some selective modules.
- Only students in selective modules will return to the city campus. They will be contacted by their lecturer.
- RU Facilities are available for use by prior appointment.
- The library will be open daily Monday to Friday during working hours.
Phase 2: May Intake
- All classes will be having blended learning from May to August 2021.
- The details of the arrangement will be released by SAS afterwards.
*Phase 2 for May Intake is subjected to change based on JPT guideline from time to time.
All staff, students, and visitors returning to Raffles University City Campus are strictly required to follow the RU SOP.
It has been 1 year since the first MCO was announced on 18th March 2020. I want to take the opportunity to appreciate the effort of the staff and academics for shifting the operation on and offline. All kinds of MCOs have pushed you to adapt the advanced technology and the virtual environment for students.
Now, I am excited to welcome those of you returning to the Raffles University City Campus.
Take care and be safe. Please adhere to the SOP’s to protect yourself and others around you.
Yours sincerely,
Professor Dr. Graeme BRITTON
President, Raffles University.
