The Ateneo de Manila University (we couldn't help ourselves) said Friday, December 10 that it would "gradually return to on-site classes," subject to pandemic restrictions, starting January 2022. The return to campus will be implemented in phases beginning with college and graduate school units, the University announced in an online bulletin, noting that graduating students are the priority. The campus will also gradually re-open to other academic activities such as research, teacher consultation, and counseling and psychological services.
Ateneo de Manila University's Protocols for Gradual Return to On-Site Classes
"As the pandemic situation remains uncertain, all plans are subject to change," notes the bulletin, "depending on the circumstances and new directives" issued by the Inter-Agency Task Force, the Department of Education, the Department of Health, the Department of Labor and Employment, the Quezon City local government, and other pertinent government agencies.
Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) will be implementing "strict safety and health protocols", requiring all employees and guests entering its campuses in Loyola Heights, Rockwell, Ortigas, and Salcedo to be fully vaccinated or undergo appropriate COVID-19 testing procedures conducted by the University physician. The Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health in January started doing limited on-site classes at their campus in Pasig City.
According to ADMU, detailed guidelines will be released by the college and graduate school units in the coming days. Separate announcements will be made for the University's Basic Education program, which covers senior high school, junior high school, and grade school.
