Dear all,

I hope you are all recovering safely from the effects of Tropical Cyclone Mal.

Following consultations with the University’s emergency response team, I am pleased to announce that all FNU campuses will reopen for normal University operations from tomorrow, Thursday, 16 November 2023.

Hence, all staff are required to report to work at your respective Campuses. Affected staff must liaise with their supervisors for Work from Home (WFH) provisions if required. 

Students who are unable to return to campus must inform their respective lecturers. Staff and students who reside in flooded or flood-prone areas, and those who may be required to cross areas that are inundated with flood waters, are advised to take the necessary precautions and practice good judgment.

Therefore, returning to campus will be at your discretion and we request that you liaise with your lecturers and supervisors.

Examinations

Students are required to take note of the details below regarding the rescheduled examination dates. Lecturers are advised to also liaise closely with students regarding the new examination dates.

Please note that all Hostel students will be accommodated for an extra week with no extra charges to them.

For many FNU students the start of the academic year means moving away from home for the first time. Some have moved into our Halls of Residence while others are renting close to campuses. This is a start of a whole new experience which can be both exciting and a daunting one.

Some students may experience homesickness a few days after arriving at their new accommodation and for others it may take a few weeks. You are never too old to miss your home.

Feeling homesick is common and may involve the following:

• feeling alone and lonely
• constant thoughts about home
• withdrawing from friends and/or social activities
• feeling unmotivated and unwell
• feeling you don't belong

Quick Tips

• Acknowledge you may be feeling homesick. You are not alone. Others may feel similar to you. Give yourself time.
• Be realistic about your expectations. You are allowed to feel sad. Adjusting to the new environment takes time.
• Keep in contact with people back home, either by phone, letter, email or social media. Set dates to go home.
• Get involved in university campus life, sporting and other recreational activities. This is a great way to gain a sense of belonging and meet people.
• Talk to your FNU Counsellor. They are aware of the issue of homesickness and are here to support you.
