UCT has returned to face-to-face teaching on all campuses. Similarly, all other university operations, including tests, examinations and practicals, continue as scheduled.

UCT students and staff have been invited to a university assembly at 15:00 outside the Memorial Hall. The assembly aims to determine the university’s view on issues such as free education, fee increments and financial exclusion. Jammie Shuttles will run from 14:00 to 15:00 to transport staff and students to the assembly.

Various speakers will give their viewpoints on the matter and address issues that will be important in responding to the leaked Fees Commission report. This will be an opportunity for the university community to come together in making a very public statement about the funding of higher education at a critical time, just before the release of the report.
