Because of this unfortunate global corona virus, we will be able to overcome by supporting each other and following all hygiene and other suggestions by the authorities. University dormitories with all services are open and will be open for those who need it. We strongly urge you not to travel abroad but if you do and when you come you need to stay at quarantine for at least 14 days out of campus.

Stay healthy and safe
