Gregory Varsity Fixes Date For Resumption Of Academic Activities

A leading private university in Nigeria, Gregory University Uturu, Abia State has fixed date for the recommencement of academic activities after the Christmas and New Year holidays.

According to a release by the Acting Registrar, Mrs. Rosemary Igboekwe, lectures have been scheduled to commence virtually on Monday, January 4, 2021, in continuation of the Harmattan Semester of the 2020/2021 academic session.

The statement read in part, “After the Christmas and New Year break, we are glad to announce the commencement of online lectures, from Monday, January 4, 2021. This is to enable us to fulfill the statutory 18-week academic work, required to make up a semester while complying with National Universities Commissions (NUC) directives on closure of schools due to the second wave of COVID-19 in Nigeria”.

The release, therefore, requests all scholars of GUU to visit the school’s official website (www.gregoryuniversityuturu.edu.ng), to download the updated online lecture timetable as released by the Centre for e-Learning Resource in conjunction with the Directorate of SERVICOM and Quality Assurance, while also enjoining lecturers to post weblinks to their lectures on all designated social media platforms for scholars, Sleek Ogbonnaya Ogwo, Deputy Registrar, Media & Public Relations announced in a separate release.

Recall that Gregory University Uturu successfully switched to virtual teaching and learning in 2020, at the peak of the nationwide lockdown, occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This enabled the timely completion of the 2019/2020 academic session and subsequent convocation ceremony of the school’s fifth batch of graduates on December 12, 2020.
