Dear Students,<\/p>

Some of you may be confused by recent newspaper reports stating that Universities are not allowed to run on-line classes or research during the Government Movement Control Order period of 18-31 March 2020.<\/p>

I can confirm this matter has been raised with the Ministry of Education who have confirmed that universities can run on-line classes as long as students are not grouped together. Similarly for research, there cannot be face-to-face contact between the supervisors and the students.<\/p>

Raffles University is running as a virtual university during this period with students and staff working at home. Raffles University complies with the Ministry\u2019s orders.<\/p>

Please do not worry, stay calm and continue with your learning.<\/p>

I wish you success in your studies and examinations.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Kind Regards,<\/p>

Professor Dr. Graeme Britton,
President.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
