Graduating UM students return to university

The University of Macau (UM) has partially resumed classes, prioritizing the return of graduating students to the classroom yesterday.
All other UM students will continue to take classes online until the end of the semester, the university announced in a statement.
Graduating undergraduate students who have returned to campus will participate in various activities, including experiments, group discussions, and reviews of what they have learned this semester.
The university also announced that final examinations will be postponed to the period between May 20 to June 1.
Those studying for PhDs, master’s degrees and postgraduate certificate/diploma programs, and who are in the coursework stage of their studies, will continue to take online classes until the end of the semester. PhD and master’s oral defenses will resume on May 4.
To facilitate the resumption of classes, UM said that it instructed faculty members to teach smaller classes, with no more than 10 students in each class, and with at least 1 meter between students’ seats, as specified by the government’s guidelines.
Before entering the classroom, students must have their temperature checked, be wearing a mask, disinfect their hands, and present their health declaration.
In addition, UM will partially reopen some facilities on campus, such as the library and the sports complex, starting on the first day of classes. LV
