Dear NYP Students,
Please note the following:
1. Home-Based Learning Exercise from 29 June to 5 July 2009
NYP is implementing a home-based learning exercise for students starting from 29 June to 5 July 2009. This exercise, which includes self-directed learning and e-learning, is to test our preparedness to ensure that the polytechnic continues to function in the event of a deteriorating Influenza A (H1N1) pandemic situation in Singapore.
The home-based learning exercise will apply to all students except for the following groups:
- Students doing their Final-Year Project work
- Students on Industrial Attachment Programme
- Students doing Teaching Enterprise Project (for SBM students)
- Students scheduled for clinical practice (for SHS students)
- Students taking CET (Continuing Education and Training) courses
All students involved in this week-long home-based learning exercise should stay away from campus. Common tests originally planned for during this period will be re-scheduled. Students are advised to follow the learning plans and arrangements of their respective Schools. Such learning plans will either be made known to you directly by your School or made available at the NYP e-learning portal (or other systems specified by your School). Specific time periods for home-based learning are given below:
Year 1 students - 8 am to 1 pm
Year 2 students - 1 pm to 6 pm
Year 3 students - 6 pm to 10 pm
You are advised to check your NYP email account regularly and visit NYP/school websites and myNYP Portal for information updates and announcements. Measures will be in place to ensure minimal disruption to your studies. Your lecturers are accessible via email or phone should you need to contact them. As some students may not have timely access to this email message, we encourage you to share this information with your NYP coursemates. Normal lessons in campus will resume on Monday, 6 July.
2. Temperature Screening Exercise
Those students who will be undergoing specific programmes at the campus next week will be required to go to the TAC@Auditorium for temperature screening twice a day from 7.30 am to 7.00 pm for that entire week from 29 June to 3 July. As usual, stickers will be issued - AM (valid between 7.30 am and 2 pm) and PM (11.30 am onwards until 7 pm). Please proceed to the TAC at the Auditorium for temperature-taking first thing on arrival on campus, and again at between 11.30 am to 2 pm.
In addition, please note that NYP will be conducting temperature screening exercise for all students, staff and visitors at the TAC@Auditorium on every Monday from 6 July onwards.
3. Leave Of Absence (LOA)
(a) For students who have travelled overseas and returned from affected countries*, it is mandatory for you to observe a 7-day Leave of Absence (LOA) from the date of return to Singapore (i.e. you must stay away from campus). You are also required to make an online declaration of your travel history through myNYP Portal. Please ensure that you monitor your health conditions for 7 days upon return to Singapore by checking for fever or any flu-like symptoms and keep your Personal Mentors or any of your lecturers informed. Please also practise social distancing measures for 7 days (i.e. stay home and avoid going to public places). If you develop fever or flu-like symptoms, please seek medical attention immediately or call 993.
*As of 24 June, the affected countries are: USA, Mexico, Canada, UK, Spain, Chile, Australia, Japan, Argentina, Panama, Philippines, Thailand, Dominican Republic, Hong Kong, Indonesia. Please refer to the MOH website for updates (http://www.moh.gov.sg).
(b) For students who develop fever or flu-like symptoms, even if you have no travel history, you are also required to observe a 7-day LOA and seek medical attention at any of the Pandemic Preparedness Clinics (PPCs).
