Notice on 2-Week Extension of Online Classes

Hello, CAU family. I am Professor Sang-Gue Park, President of Chung-Ang University.

Corona-19 still has no signs of fading. Therefore, the Ministry of Education has postponed the opening of elementary school, middle school, high school, and university to April.

Today, the Academic Committee has decided to extend the period of online classes for 2 more weeks. The possibility of group infection cannot be excluded in the face-to-face class.

Due to these changes, the start date of the face-to-face class has been changed from March 30^th to April 13^th.

However, due to the nature of laboratory and practical classes, there is a limit to the delivery of class content through online lectures, so the last day of the semester has been delayed from the previous: June 27^th; to July 10^th for 2 weeks. Nevertheless, it is still possible to adjust the last day of semester differently depending on the schedule for each classes.

The matters related for two-week extension of online classes will be guided by all possible channels. As a result, we ask the CAU family to prepare for an extended 2-weeks of online class. The university headquarters will share important issues in the future with changes and minimize the inconvenience of professors and students. We ask for your support and cooperation so that we can overcome this crisis together.

President of Chung-Ang University
