To prevent the spread of the severe special infectious pneumonia epidemic caused by the deadly novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) and in line with national policy for epidemic prevention, NPUST has deliberated and agreed unanimously to postpone the opening of the 2020 Spring Semester by two weeks to March 2, 2020 so as to secure sufficient time for preparing anti-epidemic measures. In response to the opening delay, the university will modify course-related regulations and rules to ensure students’ right to education.
