On March 31, the Office of Academic Affairs of Korea University (KU) announced to extend the online class period to May 2. The announcement was made on the KU Portal to Information Depository (KUPID).

Due to the continued concerns regarding the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, KU has decided to prohibit classes from being held offline. However, there are exceptions to classes which involve practical activities, such as science experiments or physical education. The mid-term examination is to be arranged according to the decisions of each course’s professor.

As of March 31, all school buildings are restricted to enter until April 5, unless carrying an access card. Furthermore, the entrance date for KU dormitories is scheduled on April 29. However, students who have visited foreign countries within the past 14 days are strictly prohibited. Other students who wish to enter the dormitories must submit a self-recording paper which states the body temperature and bodily symptoms of the 14 days prior to the entering date.

The announcement ended with a note asking for an earnest cooperation of KU students.
