ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL IMU STUDENTS & STAFF
(23 September 2021)

In efforts to create a safe community within Higher Learning Institutions, the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) has announced on 14 September 2021 that ONLY students and staff who are fully vaccinated and have fulfilled the period of effectiveness after vaccination are allowed to enter the campus effective 15 October 2021 onwards. [News Reference]

 

As we prepare to welcome you back on campus starting 15 October 2021, the University has put in place a set of health and safety SOPs. Please stay connected with the University for the latest updates.

 

Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) systems have also been procured and are being installed in our ventilation system in phases. Designed with a high safety margin of 99% disinfection levels, this will significantly improve air quality within the campuses. As we continue to prioritise a healthy and safe learning environment, it is equally important that you continue to safeguard yourself and your friends / colleagues by practising the IMU Groups’ SOPs while on campus and within the community.
