THE SILLIMAN University will resume face-to-face classes for Medical Technology students in the first semester of Academic Year 2021-2022.

SU said it received a Certificate of Authority to resume classes from the Commission on Higher Education after complying with the guidelines.

“The authorization document signed by CHEDRO 7 Director IV Maximo C. Aljibe states that the BS Medical Technology program passed all the compliance requirements in the CHED-Department of Health Joint Memorandum Circular 2020-001 to reopen for limited face-to-face classes,” SU said.

“The CHED authorization is valid for two semesters and took effect last June 4,” it added.

Evelyn Fajardo, director of SU Institute of Clinical Laboratory Sciences, said that practical classes would only take four consecutive days and online classes will be implemented for the next 10 days.

“This 4-10 bubble will allow the Institute to shift to online class in periods where face-to-face classes will be suspended,” she said.

Fajardo added that most of the students who will attend the in-person classes have received their first dose of a Covid19 vaccine.

The university earlier got approval to hold physical classes for medical, nursing and physical therapy students.
