2022年春季學期教學安排 (通告 50) 30/11/2021
各位同學 :
春季學期將於 2022 年 1 月 31 日開始，為便利同學為開課作好準備，我在此公佈大學春季的教學安排。
鑑於香港疫苗接種率持續上升及本地感染率維持在零至極低水平，大學決定於2022年春季學期全面恢復正常面授教學。對於包括講課、導修課和實驗室課程在內的教學活動，大學將不會再設有特殊的網課安排。學生必須回校上課以滿足所屬課程的出席要求。與秋季學期一樣，期末考試將採取校內考試的形式。對於因合理原因不能返回校園的學生，例如由於香港或當地政府施加的入境限制而無法來港者，則可以提出延期修業申請。請注意，只有基於合理原因並能提交相關證明的申請才會獲得考慮。
即將來港上課的學生應注意香港特區政府的檢疫要求，並據此制定出行計劃。請預留充足的時間來完成強制檢疫要求並在學期開始前接種疫苗。如果你已經或將會來香港參加秋季學期考試，大學建議你在學期休假期間留在香港不要離開，以免下學期面授課程開課時受到延誤。
為了大學社群的健康和安全，我們強烈鼓勵大家盡快接種疫苗。大學已加強了校園的清潔，並將繼續採取戴口罩、測體溫、安心出行等預防措施，確保校園環境衛生。大學也正在考慮推出更嚴格的校園出入管制措施。
我們有信心，通過共同努力，我們可以克服疫情下的挑戰。在此先感謝大家的支持，並祝你們在即將到來的考試中一切順利。
學術副校長
關清平教授
大學將繼續關注新冠疫情的發展，並適時進行必要的調整。最新資訊將由大學在本網站公布。
遙距課程將恢復常規課程安排。詳情將由相關學院/課程主任通知同學。

全面執行使用安心出行手機應用程式進入校園 (Circular 49) 29/11/2021
各位同事：
自從大學於9月中旬落實使用“安心出行”手機應用程式(“安心出行”)或填寫入校記錄表的要求以來，我們注意到不少表格中提供了虛假或不完整的資料。在此情況下，當發現確診病例時，將大大降低追蹤接觸者的效率和精確度。最近香港特區政府宣布以更嚴格的方式廣泛地實施使用“安心出行”。就此，大學決定自2021年12月6日(星期一)起，所有教職員、學生、校友及訪客（下文所述獲豁免人士除外）必須使用“安心出行”掃描校園二維碼方可進入校園。
根據新安排，12歲以下或65歲或以上人士，以及因殘疾而有困難使用安心出行的人士，可免於進入校園時使用安心出行。但相關人士需于進入校園前填寫登記表，登記姓名、身份證明文件頭4位數字或字母、聯絡電話、及到訪日期和時間，並應校園保安員要求出示相關身份證明文件以供核實。登記時，保安人員亦會即場通過電話核實聯絡號碼。在新安排下，因個人意願不使用“安心出行”者，將不會獲得豁免和不可進入校園。
我在此呼籲大家齊心協力，提升大學疫情管控的能力，以保護大學成員及市民。如果你還沒有下載和使用“安心出行”，請盡快在[這裡]下載。希望大家與校園保安人員合作，遵行大學的指示。
讓我們為保護全體師生、大學社群以致整個社區的安全共同努力!

二零二一年十一月一日推出網上疫苗接種/檢測註冊系統 (VTRS) (通告 48) 01/11/2021
各位同學： 轉眼間2021年秋季學期已經迎來第七週。我希望大家都在享受充滿活力的校園生活。
在我9月份發出主題為【新校園出入管制措施 (審議中)】的電郵中，所提及的網上疫苗接種/檢測註冊系統（VTRS），已在今天（即 2021 年 11 月 1 日（星期一））正式啟用。
VTRS旨在積極監察教職員和同學的疫苗接種情況，以便大學能適時制定合適的預防措施，以確保為教職員和學生在校園內提供最佳的保護。
正如早前的電郵中提到，在9月初進行的疫苗接種調查中所收集的數據，現已轉移到新的註冊系統中*。請因應你的情況採取以下相應行動： | 情況 | 需要採取的行動 | | 1. 如你已完成疫苗接種並已在調查中提交你的疫苗接種記錄 | 登入 VTRS，檢查你的疫苗接種記錄是否準確。如果發現任何錯誤，請發送電郵至 vtrs@hkmu.edu.hk （李嘉誠專業進修學院學生請電郵至lipace@hkmu.edu.hk )要求更正。 | | 2. 如你已完成疫苗接種但未回應調查 | 請在 2021 年 11 月 14 日前登入VTRS，登記你的疫苗接種記錄。 | | 3. 如你在調查時僅接種了一劑疫苗，而現已完成第二劑疫苗接種 | 請在 2021 年 11 月 14 日之前登入VTRS，提交你新的疫苗接種記錄。（請注意，你須重新輸入第一和第二劑的資料。） | | 4. 尚未完成疫苗接種 | 現時無需採取任何行動。
當你將來完成疫苗接種時，請登入 VTRS，提交疫苗接種記錄。
如果大學將來決定加強校園出入管制，尚未完成接種疫苗的教職員和學生必須通過 VTRS 定期報告測試結果。詳細資訊將根據需要適時提供。 | 為鼓勵更多教職員和學生接種疫苗，大學亦已將疫苗抽獎活動延長至11月26日（星期五），獎品包括三星Galaxy S21 Ultra和iPhone 13 Pro Max。請抓緊這個機會，接種疫苗，在保護自己和他人的同時，参加抽獎贏取手機。詳情請瀏覽我們的疫苗接種抽獎網站。
通過共同努力，我相信我們都能繼續享受校園生活，一同度過一個安全而富有成果的學年。感謝你的支持。 香港都會大學
副校長（資源及發展）
呂汝漢教授謹啟 *由即日起，參加實習的護理學同學請使用新的系統VTRS提交疫苗接種、檢測和檢疫記錄。原來的護理系統已停止運作，之前所提交的記錄已經轉移到 VTRS。
新校園出入管制措施 (審議中) (通告 47) 23/09/2021
各位同事、各位同學，
很高興在 2021年秋季學期剛剛開始之際，看到同學們返回校園，重新為校園注入活力及朝氣！
在這漫長的疫情期間，大學在校園內採取了各種防疫措施（例如戴口罩、測量體溫、保持社交距離和加強衛生等），以保障大學社群的健康和安全。有見接種疫苗能有效阻止 2019冠狀病毒病的病毒散播，大學亦鼓勵教職員和學生接種疫苗，為遏制疫情，確保社區健康出一分力。在我們最近於 9月初進行的疫苗接種調查中，約有 70% 的回覆者表示他們已接種了疫苗。這實在是一項令人鼓舞的消息。
在恢復正常的面授課堂和享受校園生活的同時，我們必須警惕新冠病毒仍然猖獗，並持續出現新的變種。為確保校園內教職員和學生得到最佳保障，大學正積極留意最新情況，並考慮適時加強校園出入管制。一經決定實施，師生需全面接種疫苗方可進入校園。因身體狀況等各種原因未能接種疫苗者，需自費每兩週進行一次自我檢測。
為此，大學將於 2021 年 10 月下旬推出疫苗接種/檢測註冊系統。從 9月疫苗接種調查中收集的數據將自動轉移到此註冊系統。如果你沒有在上述調查中提供你的疫苗接種記錄，你將需要通過註冊系統提供/更新你的疫苗接種資料。如果大學決定在未來加強校園出入管制，未能接種疫苗的師生亦將需要通過該系統定期報告檢測結果。詳情將在 10 月公佈。
我們充分理解新的校園出入管制措施一旦實施，可能會給大家帶來不便。但是，我們必須將維護大學社群的健康和安全以及防止病毒傳播放在首位。在此感謝你的理解和支持。

2021年秋季學期最新教學安排 (通告 46) 10/08/2021
各位同學： 秋季學期將於 2021年9月20日星期一開始，因應新冠疫情的發展，我在此公佈大學最新的教學安排。 正如早前發出的公告中所述，大學將在 2021 年秋季學期恢復面授。雖然在過去一年多的經驗中，證實網上學習是有效的教學安排，但校園生活是大學旅程中不可或缺的一部分，對於同學獲得全面的大學體驗至關重要。 隨著我們逐漸恢復正常的課堂學習，大學將繼續密切關注疫情的發展，適時作出所需調整，並且盡一切努力確保校內師生的健康與安全。 講課、導修課、實驗課和實習以及期末考試的安排 講課將以面授的方式進行。所有課堂將會錄影，並於課堂後上載到網上教學平台供同學閱覽。* 導修課基本上以面授為主，但亦可根據個別學科的教學需求採用其他模式，例如導修課錄影*、網課或混合模式（即面授及即時網上授課並行）等。網上模式僅提供給基於合理原因無法返校上課的學生，例如由於香港或當地政府施加的入境限制而無法來港者。有上述情況的同學應先向有關學院申請，以便作出相應安排。個別學科的最終導修課安排將在學期開始前公佈。 實驗課和實習將面對面進行。個別學院會作出相關安排，並將詳細資料發送給同學。 期末考試將恢復為校內實體考試。所有學生都必須到校園參加考試。 來港上課 來港上課的非本地生應注意香港特區政府的檢疫要求，並據此制定出行計劃。我們的學生事務處在這個網頁上收錄了一些相關的資訊，以供參考。對於來自內地的同學，請注意來港上學向來是教育部海外學歷認證的要求。早前受疫情影響，教育部按需要作出臨時變通，放寬了這個要求。這政策是否繼續，實屬未知之數。因此，雖然大學可安排網上學習，同學如不來港上課的話，可能會承受學歷不被認證的風險。 接種疫苗保障安全 為了保障大學社群的健康和安全，我們強烈鼓勵大家在新學年開始前接種疫苗。大學亦已推出了幸運抽獎計劃作為鼓勵，所有接種了兩劑新冠疫苗的師生均可參加。詳情請參閱這網頁。此外，所有教職員、學生和訪客都必須在進入校園之前掃描“安心出行”二維碼，以便若發現確診的新冠病例時，進行必要的聯繫及追蹤。 我們有信心，通過共同努力，我們可以克服疫情下的挑戰。感謝大家的支持，期待很快在校園與你們見面。 學術副校長
關清平教授 *如果你計劃申請持續進修基金(CEF)發還面授學科的學費，則必須出席面授課堂，以便大學證明你的出席率以符合CEF的要求。（不適用於遙距學科） 大學將繼續關注新冠疫情的發展，並適時進行必要的調整。最新資訊將由大學在本網站公佈。 李嘉誠專業進修學院同學請留意學院/導師發出的電郵通知。
Announcement on Vaccination Leave (Circular 45) 31/05/2021
Dear Colleagues, To follow the Government’s arrangement to encourage its employees to receive COVID-19 vaccination as early as possible, the Management has decided that from 1 June 2021 until 31 August 2021, all full-time staff will be entitled to a day of vaccination leave for each vaccination dose received so that they can have sufficient time to recuperate after getting vaccinated. For those staff who were vaccinated on or before 31 May 2021, in recognition and appreciation of their support for the COVID-19 Vaccination Programme, they will also be allowed to apply for one day of authorised absence that may be taken by 31 March 2022, for each dose already received. While our eLeave system will be enhanced shortly to cater for the application of vaccination leave, during the interim, staff may submit their application via email with a scanned copy of the COVID-19 Vaccine record as the supporting document for approval by the eLeave approver and copy it to your respective HR Manager for record. To achieve success in the anti-epidemic effort, you are strongly encouraged to play a proactive role in receiving the vaccination to safeguard the safety and health of the University and our community as a whole. Let’s join hands to accomplish the goal! Regards, Prof. LUI Yu-hon, MH Vice President (Resources and Development) The Open University of Hong Kong
大學接種疫苗訊息 (通告44) 27/05/2021
各位公大成員： 新型冠狀病毒的爆發為全球帶來了前所未有的衝擊，也給所有大學成員帶來種種困難和不便。自2020年1月以來，大學的教學活動受到影響。而憑着大學在遙距教育方面的豐富經驗、同事們不懈的努力，以及同學們充份的合作，我們已成功克服許多挑戰。 然而，我們必須緊記，新冠病毒於社區中仍然存在，並且具有高度傳染性。受感染者會將疾病傳染給他人，對健康造成嚴重影響。疫情已持續了一段極漫長的時間，大學一直採取嚴謹的防疫措施，包括配戴口罩、保持社交距離和時刻保持衞生。 而科學證據清楚地顯示，有效的疫苗可以提升免疫系統，對抗新冠病毒。接種疫苗既可保障我們的個人健康，還能阻止致命病毒在社區中繼續傳播。 大學計劃在2021年9月20日全面恢復面授課堂，而我們的最終目標是所有教學活動於年底前逐步恢復正常。為此，大學強烈鼓勵每一位成員在新學年開始前接種疫苗。 我們深信，在大家共同努力下，定能戰勝疫情，繼續為同學提供優質教育，讓他們享受學習。 感謝大家的支持。 林群聲教授, 校長 關清平教授, 學術副校長 呂汝漢教授, 副校長 (資源及發展) 郭予光教授, 副校長 (學生事務及支援)
2021/22 年秋季學期教學安排 (通告43) 17/05/2021
各位同學：
鑑於香港的疫情狀況正逐步改善，我很高興向各位同學宣佈大學將於 2021年9月20日恢復面授教學。過去的一年充滿挑戰，我相信各位同學與我們一樣，熱切期待正常生活能逐漸恢復，大學能再次為同學提供全面的面授學習體驗。
在過去的一年，大學因應疫情採用了各種不同的教學方式，部分同學向大學反映當中有些方式對他們的學習有幫助和富有成效。因此，我們將會考慮如何在未來的課程中保留其中一些有效的學習模式。
恢復面授講課及導修課
大學將於 2021年9月20日秋季學期開始時，恢復所有講課及導修課的面授教學，其中包括實驗課。你將會於八月下旬或之前收到你的上課時間表，當中會有詳細的資料。至於實習課，將由個別學院進行安排，並將有關詳情分別發送給所屬同學。假如公共衛生狀況日後有變，或特區政府採取進一步限制人數的措施，我們將會作出適當調整並在各學科提供網上課堂的選擇。否則，我們冀望所有同學都能以面授教學形式完成 2021年秋季學期的課程。
學科評核及期末學科考試
學科評核和期末考試是衡量預期學習成果的重要一環。在過去的兩年中，各個科目的考核方法因應疫情調整為多種不同形式，例如網上考試、家中作業等。我們預計在 2021年秋季學期，隨著疫情緩和，我們將恢復進行校內實體考試。在符合社交距離規定的前提下，大學將盡一切努力確保參加校內考試同學的安全。
非本地學生
即將來港的非本地學生應密切留意香港特別行政區政府規定的檢疫要求，並按其規劃到港行程。非本地學生可查閱學生事務處（SAO）在此網站上的最新資訊，亦可與學生事務處同事聯絡。大學將密切留意疫情的發展，視乎需要適時調整教學安排，大學將在此網站上發布最新資訊。
歡迎同學們回到校園
經歷了艱難的兩年，讓我們都從挑戰中學習成長，樂觀迎接 2021/22 年的新學年。我和所有教學老師一起期待著歡迎所有學生回到校園上課，希望你們也一樣。

Confirmed COVID-19 case (Circular 33) 14/12/2020
Dear Colleagues, The Human Resources Unit was informed by the School of Science and Technology that the husband of one of its staff in the STEAM Centre was preliminary tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, 12 December 2020. On Sunday, we received the news that both the staff concerned and her son were also tested positive. The staff concerned had returned to the office on 7, 9, 10 and 11 December during the past week. It was learnt that the staff concerned had no close contact with any staff except for those in the STEAM Centre. The staff in the STEAM Centre have been advised to take the test and work from home for at least 14 days. The Finance and Facilities Management Unit also arranged and completed the deep cleansing/sterilization of the 9/F of the Cheng Yu Tung Building on Sunday. For the sake of safety and health of the University community, I would like to strongly remind you that if you or your family members are suffering from any symptoms of COVID-19 or receiving the test, please do not come back to the campuses until the results of the test are negative. As the pandemic continues to be serious, please stay vigilant and alert. Keep safe and healthy! Regards, Vincent Shek Director of Human Resources

2020/21 秋季學期最新的教學安排 (通告20) 27/07/2020
各位同學：
2020/21 秋季學期最新的教學安排
自大學於 7 月16 日宣佈新學期的安排後，香港的新型冠狀病毒疫情日趨嚴峻。由於本地的確診個案持續飆升，我們無法預計疫情在未來數月的發展。有鑑於這些不明朗的因素及基於公共健康風險的考慮，大學決定重新審視並更改 2020/21 秋季學期的教學安排。
2020/21 秋季學期將按原訂計劃開始，即本科生課程及研究生課程將於 9月28日開始#，而兼讀制課程則於 9月21日開始。屆時所有講課及導修課將會以 Zoom 網上實時互動形式進行，直至另行通告為止。至於面授教學，包括實驗課及實習，只能在本地疫情情況穩定後，才可逐步回復正常。如早前公佈，各個科目的考核方法將會視乎情況及需要，採用在校考試、網上考試、家中考試/作業等形式進行。
由於課堂將以網上形式進行，所有非本地生 (包括新生及舊生)均不需來港上課。假若非本地生因各種原因選擇在香港參與網上課堂，則應在來港前小心評估風險，並於抵港後謹守香港政府對入境人士實施的強制檢疫要求。
大學將密切留意疫情的發展，視乎需要適時調整教學安排。當可以恢復面授課堂時，大學將及早通知非本地生，以便他們儘早安排來港行程。
如果你對教學安排有任何疑問，或需要學術建議，請聯絡教務處或你的課程主任。
於疫情期間，請同學小心保重，祝身體健康﹗

有關網上學習及學業評估之最新安排 (通告12) 11/03/2020
各位同學：
在新型冠狀病毒持續蔓延的情況下，大學開展網上學習至今已有五個星期。我希望各位繼續保持身體健康，積極面對當前的挑戰。
藉此電郵，我向大家宣佈兩項重要的資訊：
(一) 網上學習：因應疫情的發展，大學決定延長網上教學的安排至本年 5月，即 2020年春季學期完結為止。在此期間，請各位同學繼續善用網上學習平臺，緊貼各個學科上載的教材進行學習。同時，請與教授們保持緊密溝通，積極參與實時網上課堂，透過電郵、電話及/或短訊向老師和導師們提問，他們是非常樂意幫助你們的。至於必須面授的課堂，如實驗課、實踐技能訓練等，將在校園以小組教學形式進行或稍後安排補課，學院將會另行通知同學有關的安排。
(二) 學業評估：各個科目的考核方法將會作出適當的調整，以不同形式進行，例如研習報告、論文及/或考試等。考試將主要以網上方式進行，同學無需返回校園應考。各學院正就相關改動擬訂詳細的安排，並會盡快發出通知。就此，春季學期的考試將會改回在 5月4日至 24日舉行，而 4月27日至 5月2日則定為溫習休假。兼讀制（遙距學習）課程的考試時段則維持不變於 5月11日至 6月7日。藉著上述的安排，我們相信同學可根據原有校曆順利升學或畢業，把疫情對同學學習進度的影響減至最低。
我深信逆境令人成長，希望我們以樂觀的態度及堅定不移的意志一起跨過這個前所未有的危機。只要攜手同心，我們定能克服一切困難，在逆境中茁壯成長。三十年後回首，冀望我們可以就這次難得的經歷跟兒孫們分享。

因應新型冠狀病毒的發展情況，香港公開大學在上月底決定暫停面授課堂，並於 2月3日展開網上學習。我們當然希望盡快恢復面授課堂，但在此之前，我們正竭盡所能進一步改善及提高網上教學的有效性。過去數周，學院已提供課堂視頻讓同學可以隨時隨地收看，另外亦會逐步增加更多實時在缐教程和其他與學生的互動活動。
實時學習環境可增加學生的參與度及提供更多交流的機會，學生不但可以和同學一起學習，更可直接向教授提問。
歡迎同學向教授提出改善網上學習的建議。通過我們的教職員與同學的共同努力，我們定能把暫停面授課堂的影響減至最低。
同學如需要回校使用圖書館或電腦室，請留意各設施的開放時間,你可透過大學網站獲取最新的信息。
工作安排
大學將繼續實施特別工作安排至 2020年3月1日 (星期日)。為陸續恢復學術和行政活動及服務，及為 3月30日恢復面授課堂作好準備，院長 / 部門主管 / 系主任應與職員溝通，制定下星期的工作安排以逐步增加服務。大學期望可以在 3月2日 (星期一) 開始回復正常的運作。
請大家務必繼續提高警覺，把健康放在第一位！

Message from the Provost on teaching and learning arrangement (Circular 8) 12/02/2020 (只提供英文版)
Dear Students,
The University has been monitoring the development of the coronavirus situation closely and continuing to make appropriate adjustments to the teaching arrangements. Although we are eager to resume our face-to-face classes on campus, we would not be able to do so as long as there is risk of infection in a crowded classroom. In view of the current coronavirus situation in Hong Kong, the University has decided to postpone resumption of face-to-face teaching until 30 March 2020 and modify the plan for the 2020 Spring term as listed below.
Please note that the teaching and assessment schedules for some professional programmes may differ from those described below, and will be announced separately by the relevant schools. The 2020 Spring term academic calendar including the examination period for part-time (distance learning) programmes will remain unchanged (link).
Full-time undergraduate and taught post-graduate programmes
Jan 20 – Jan 24
Spring term started and face-to-face classes were conducted during this week.
Feb 3 – Mar 29
Online learning started on 3 February and will continue to 29 March 2020 for a total of eight weeks inclusive of the study break (Mar 9-14). The additional week of online teaching during Mar 9-14 is scheduled to allow better coverage of course content and for students to catch up with the materials.
Mar 30 – May 3
We hope to resume face-to-face classes on campus for five weeks. In case this is not possible because of ongoing health and safety concerns in Hong Kong, we will make an early announcement of alternative arrangements.
(In the event that it becomes safe to resume classes on campus before the end of March, we will not hesitate to do so and shall let students know at least 14 days in advance.)
May 4 – 9
We plan to maintain one-week study break to allow for revision and preparation for examinations.
May 11 – 31
We plan to conduct written examination on campus. The examination period will be moved back by one week to this period with the intention to bring the Spring term to a close by the end of May in order to minimize impact on students’ plans for the Summer.
You are advised to stay at home for online learning before the resumption of face-to-face classes. Mainland students who are now outside of Hong Kong are advised to stay at your location to make use of online learning. Many thanks for your understanding and cooperation as we all work together to go through this difficult time. Please stay vigilant and continue to make personal health your top priority.
Sincerely,
Professor Reggie Kwan
Provost

親愛的公大同學們： 這兩周以來，肺炎肆虐，香港遭遇到新型冠狀病毒的侵襲，瘟疫蔓延，全城幾乎癱瘓。我希望你們在家裡要注意個人衛生，勤於洗手，善於帶口罩，保重身體，千萬不能掉以輕心。 為了應對疫情，大學迅速成立了防護抗疫委員會，並由我擔任主席。防護抗疫委員會一直忙於透過會議及網上討論，佈置防疫措施，安排同學們的網上學習，處理和應對有關師生們的各種問題。學校雖然停了課，但工友們還是一絲不苟地清潔校園，保障師生員工的安全。在停課期間，老師更是專心致意地在家裡或辦公室編排製作網上課材，攝製講課和佈置作業，通過網絡進行教學，其實比正常上課期間更加忙碌。另外，本校多年來具有豐富的在綫及遙距教學經驗，綫上學習效果並不比面對面學習遜色。 自從去年年底，同學們已經有一段時間未能回校正常上課，加上最近疫情蔓延的影響，同學們基本上只能依賴網上學習。我深深理解到大家的孤寂及沉悶。最近以來，我一方面為疫情蔓延感到揪心，另方面又為同學們生活的單調感到非常難過。天災難料，無法避免，希望同學們不要被困難嚇倒。讓我們在逆境中，更加學會照顧自己，關愛別人。從媒體報道中，我們看到無論是內地或香港的醫護人員，他們都在兇猛的疫情面前毫不退縮，冒着生命危險，勇敢地拯救市民，這種捨己為人的精神，令人欽佩。 今年農曆新年是一個獨特的新年，市面上呈現着史無前例的寧靜與冷清。既無原有的煙花巡遊、又沒有傳統的濃烈春節氣氛。這個春節將會在我們的往後記憶中，刻骨銘心，難以忘懷！在這冷清的日子裡，你們整天留在家裡，時間多了！是否可在網上下載一套喜歡的好電影看看？是否可以找一本以前想看又沒有時間看的書讀一下呢？網絡世界，海闊天空，希望你們在網絡的知識海洋裡，尋找你們的樂趣！ 在防護抗疫委員會上，我也叮囑院長和系主任們，請他們告訴老師在網上教學平台上，多關心同學們。除了學習功課上的問題之外，也請你們多和老師們交流溝通，有什麼學習上的問題當然可向他們請教，縱使有生活上的問題也可以向他們傾吐。老師們都是非常關心你們，非常樂意幫助你們的。 同學們，讓我們進一步提高警覺，小心保護自己的健康，與全港市民共同努力防疫抗疫。我們一定會戰勝黑暗的病毒！寒冬總要過去，我們很快又將迎來春日暖陽，擁抱光明的未來！ 校長 黃玉山

此外請同學留意大學現正實施校園出入管制。所有進入校園的學生都必須出示學生證。在校園的入口亦會實施體溫檢查。如大學發現任何人有發燒的情況，將被拒絕進入校園及建議就醫。再次請大家務必提高警覺及保持個人衛生，你可參閱衛生署衛生防護中心刊登於此網頁的指引: https://www.chp.gov.hk/tc/features/102465.html。

公開大學校長致同學、教職員及校友公開信 17/01/2020
各位同學、同事及校友：
新春伊始，我們踏入了 2020 新的一年，又快將迎來農曆庚子新年。藉着新學期開始之際，我謹代表大學歡迎各位同學回到校園，並祝各位新年快樂，學業進步。
2019 年是充滿挑戰的一年。過去半年，香港社會經歷了前所未有的困難和動盪，不少院校和機構的正常運作也因此受到影響。我與香港每位市民一樣，對此情況感到不安 和憂心，亦熱切期盼社會能夠逐漸回復正常，市民的生活重回正軌，同學亦能在安穩的校園環境裏繼續學習。
去年正值香港公開大學慶祝創校三十周年，在艱難的社會環境下，我們非常感恩能得到大學不同持份者的大力支持，包括校董會和諮議會成員、捐助善長、教職員、 同學及校友等，讓我們年內順利舉行連串校慶活動，向公眾展示大學的發展里程和卓越成就。去年12月5日，大學假香港會議展覽中心舉行校慶晚宴，逾一千二百 多名同學、校友、教職員、各界友好領袖及合作夥伴聚首一堂同賀公大校慶，大學同時藉此感謝社會各界結伴同行三十載。而整年的校慶活動亦隨着晚宴的舉行而圓 滿結束。在此我再次衷心感謝大家的支持及參與。
去年11月，由於受到社會事件影響，大學提早結束了上學期的面授課堂學習，改以網上形式透過大學完善的的網上學習系統 (OLE) 及 iBookcase 授課、提交功課及考試。憑著公開大學豐富的網上教學經驗以及教職員的不懈努力，我們在過去兩個月排除萬難，特別為同學製作了超過 l,350 套課堂錄像、通過 OLE 進行了網上輔助課堂、在學生可以回到校園時協助使用實驗室、以及為同學安排網上提交功課和考試。期間亦有同學曾就各項安排提出了不同的建議，大學亦因應同 學的關注一一圓滿地處理了當中的問題。
另外，大學原定於去年11月中舉行多場畢業典禮，但由於當時社會面對交通安排及安全等問題，大學迫不得已取消了畢業典禮。我們明白應屆畢業生對此感到失 望，因此盡力作出補救措施，包括繼續在11月中在校園各處設置畢業佈景，讓畢業生與親友們回校拍照留念。我們深切了解畢業生及家長們對畢業典禮的重視及期 待，因此積極回應畢業同學們有關補辦典禮儀式的要求。現在我非常高興告訴大家，大學已定於本年三月底在灣仔伊利沙伯體育館補辦多場畢業典禮，我們稍後會發 信通知應屆畢業生有關詳情。
新春將至，萬象更新，讓我們滿懷希望和活力迎接新的一年，並祝願大家今年學習豐盛、萬事如意！
校長
黃玉山 謹啓
