Guide to change the principles of academic management for
the second semester of 2020 (2020.8.19)
Dear CAU family,
Greetings from the vice president for academic affair.
After the longer-than-ever flood, the heat wave came. I
wish you all the best of peace in the CAU family.
As I informed the CAU family through the president's letter in July, our
university has prepared a five-step academic management plan based on our
experience in the first semester. At that time, we defined the Korona 19
epidemic as 'Phase 3' and planned to have face-to-face and non-face-to-face
classes in line with this.
Thus, we wanted to expand face-to-face classes that are with
fewer than 20 students, but as you all know, the number of confirmed COVID cases
has been exploding recently, and quarantine authorities have made the response
level to the second phase of "complete social distancing" and
strongly advised the public to take part in maintaining distance and be more careful
for personal quarantine.
Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, Chung-Ang
University decided today (8.19), to made its academic management level phase 2 for
the second semester to (limited face-to-face class operation).

Firstly, according to the principle of limited face-to-face
classes, face-to-face classes are allowed only for laboratory classes and
practical subjects, but not for other courses. During the period of 9.1(Tue) to
9.14(Monday), which is two weeks after the semester has begun, the theoretical
classes are operated in a non-face-to-face way, and the same principle is
applied to general, professional and special graduate school courses, and small
classes.
Second, the school schedule opens on 9.1(Tue) as previously
announced and ends on 12.21(Monday). The mid-term and final-term evaluation
methods will be conducted autonomously at the discretion of the professor, and
if there is a change in the schedule, we will inform you without delay.
Third, the absolute evaluation of all courses will be conducted as
previously announced, and the extension of the exemption from the graduation
recognition system will be carried out without any change until February 2021.
Any other additional measures or changes to the principles
of academic management will be made quickly by closely examining the
government's management level, the Ministry of Education's guidelines, and the
Korona 19 proliferation situation, and we will inform the central family of the
decision without delay.
Dear CAU family,
Experts’ warning that 'anyone can be infected now' is
becoming a reality. CAU will respond quickly to changes in the situation
and communicate with you so that all of you in the CAU family can spend the
second semester healthily and safely, and that you can finish your second
semester successfully.
Please take extra care of your health until you meet them on campus in a
healthy manner.
Best,
Vice President for Academic Affairs
