The founding chairman of the university's Criminology Department passes away in hospital care after suffering a heart attack
The university will initially welcome back freshmen to the classroom but a decision is yet to be made about the return of students from other academic years, according to a notice issued on Friday.
Examinations will go ahead as previously scheduled.
“The notice is mostly aimed at first-year students. Classes and tests for students from other academic years are being held online and offline,” said Mahmood Alam, a Dhaka University spokesman.
The university returned to online classes on Sunday after postponing in-person classes until Feb 21 in line with government orders amid a surge in COVID cases.
However, residential halls have remained open while administrative work is also being carried out on a limited scale.
