THE Midlands State University (MSU) has announced that all
final-year undergraduate students would be required to stay in campus when they
resume learning this month as part of measures to curb the spread of the
coronavirus pandemic.
MSU will re-open in phases for its final-year undergraduate
and postgraduate students between June 22 and August 28 for lectures and
examinations.
“Campus accommodation is mandatory for every undergraduate
student at the Gweru campus,” MSU said in a statement.
“All other Gweru campus undergraduate students who were
accommodated off campus before the lockdown will be required to pay a residence
fee of $800 for the period they will be in campus.”
The institution said examination dates for non-graduating
students would be communicated in due course while “remote online teaching and
learning” continued.
The university’s position comes at a time three NUST
students recently tested positive for COVID-19 after the college re-opened.
Higher and Tertiary Education minister Amon Murwira last
week said it was not practical to test all students before universities
re-open, but said safety measures prescribed by the World Health Organisation
would be adhered to at the institutions. Newsday
