In response to the ongoing heatwave, the Hashemite University has taken proactive steps to ensure the safety and well-being of its students and staff, announcing a series of adjustments to its operations.

Here are the measures being implemented:

  1. Electronic Exam Rescheduling: All electronic exams originally scheduled for Sunday will now take place on Wednesday. The sessions will be conducted online, and the revised session dates will be communicated through the students' electronic portal.
  2. Paper Exams Rescheduling: Paper-based exams have been rescheduled to take place on Sunday. This rescheduling has been carried out in coordination with the various colleges and departments within the university.
  3. Online Lectures and Labs: All lectures that were initially planned for Sunday will now be conducted online. Additionally, practical laboratory sessions affected by the rescheduling will be compensated for through arrangements made by the academic departments.
  4. Adjusted Working Hours: The working hours for university employees have been modified to end at 12 o'clock in the morning, unless specific roles or tasks require otherwise due to the nature of their work.
  5. Special Activities and Procedures: Colleges, deanships, units, and departments are taking appropriate measures for any scheduled activities on Sunday that involve special procedures or arrangements.
  6. Contingency Plans for Continued Heat: The university is prepared to take necessary measures concerning Monday afternoon exams if the heat wave's intensity continues beyond the weekend.

By implementing these measures, the Hashemite University underscores its commitment to the safety and comfort of its campus community during challenging weather conditions.
