Campus Reopening Announcement

Updated on 17th Sept 2021

Dear Desparkians,

The Minister of Higher Education announced on 4th September that the National Security (MKN) Council had agreed to allow campuses to reopen in October in stages as part of the National Recovery Plan (PPN). Since then, the Ministry has held a series of engagement sessions with representatives of Public and Private Institutions in order to finalise the Standard Operating Procedures for the reopening of campuses. We have been informed that an official announcement will be issued soon. However, Teaching and Learning will be conducted in Hybrid mode (face to face and online) until further notice. While we plan and prepare for the reopening of our campus, we have been advised to inform all students of the following:
ONLY FULLY VACCINATED STUDENTS, STAFF, WORKERS AND VISITORS WILL BE PERMITTED TO ENTER THE CAMPUS.

In line with guidelines issued by MKN for all premises nationwide, the definition of full vaccination is as follows:
a. For those who are on the two-dose vaccines (eg. Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Sinovac), full vaccination is considered achieved 14 days after receiving the second dose.
b. For those who are on the single-dose vaccines (eg. Johnson&Johnson, Cansino), full vaccination is considered achieved 28 days after receiving the dose.
(Your Vaccination Status is displayed in your Mysejahtera App – this is the only evidence of Full Vaccination that is recognised under MKN (National Security Council) guidelines and we will only refer to this to allow entry into the campus. NO EXCEPTIONS ARE ALLOWED BY MKN)

We will announce further details on the phases of our reopening plan as soon as possible after the official announcement and detailed SOPs are issued by the Ministry of Higher Education.
