THE POLYTECHNIC  University of the Philippines has deferred the opening of classes to October 11.

Classes were scheduled to start on October 4 but were delayed for undisclosed reasons.

Students greeted the announcement with cheers, with some saying that they will have more time to prepare for class opening.

Classes in PUP will be conducted under the Flexible Technology-Enhanced Learning scheme which allows students to choose their preferred mode of learning.

PUP also announced that its website will take a new form starting this month.

Last week, the university introduced Dr. Manuel Muhi as the new president.
