DU dorms to reopen Mar 13

Dhaka University (DU) has decided to reopen residential halls on March 13, after a year of closure due to the coronavirus outbreak.

However, residence facilities will only be open to the final-semester examinees of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

The decision emerged from an academic council meeting yesterday.

DU Proctor Prof AKM Golam Rabbani said the council decided to reopen dormitories for examinees.

"All deans were asked to prepare a list of the examinees by February 7. Next, they will arrange residence facilities for them on a priority basis. "

"DU's academic activities will resume on February 7. Students must leave the dorms at the end of exams," Golam Rabbani said.
